Attempting to see all this from as wide a perspective as possible, I think it's only natural given the incredibly fast pace at which mobile is developing right now. The mobile industry is in the middle of a massive renaissance, Apple somehow ended up right at the center of it, and it just makes sense to focus all their resources on it while they have the advantage.
In a few more years, as this new generation of mobile matures, Apple will probably shift back to the desktop as the pieces begin to drift together for the next generation there.

- ryanpetrich 17y agoThat is exactly what Apple is betting on with the iPad
- pyre 17y agoSo Apple is banking on AutoDesk tools 'coming to an iPad near you?'
- easp 17y agoHuh? How much has Apple ever banked on AutoDesk's tools on the Mac?
- qq66 17y agoThere are obviously cases where a mobile device cannot replace a desktop. For that matter, there are cases where a desktop cannot replace a mainframe computer (bank transaction processing). All technology shifts are about the 90% -- there is always the 10% of jobs that need a mainframe, or a fax machine, or even a telegram.
