Digital books, Digital Music - I wonder if the traditional model of going to library or Barnes and Nobles is still going to be there in 5 years from now. With Sony Reader, and Kindle making waves, and the hardware cost is bound to come down in couple of years - everyone will just own one of these devices and access books from home. The libraries are going to get involved, so will be the publishers, and everyone will have to migrate to one platform. Open source for making content available on any hardware will be of great benefit to the consumers.
Sony seems to have an open software policy, where the content can be in any XML format - thus they are betting to make money on hardware.
Amazon's kindle - Both hardware and software.
Well, I think of iTune, Apple, Spotify and Apple contained ecosystem.
Interesting, ain't it?
