hey do not want to cede any niche of the market that they have managed to gain. Gruber and others have claimed that Apple is unusual in being willing to develop new products at the expense of old products. I think this might be true. That's that only logical explanation for maintaining this extra complexity by a company that is otherwise brilliant at simplifying the user experience. In fact, Apple have a track record of poor UX with complex network services. I'll guess that they have always intended for the Ipad to be a stand-alone device, but haven't ironed out the problems with their cloud storage.
