Design won't become ubiquitous. Where else has this happened in the world? Design is hard. Great design is incredibly difficult to achieve. What Apple's managed to do is create a great design and then make it a priority all the way through the company. They won't ship a product if the design isn't exactly what they want.
Building a search infrastructure is expensive, but relatively trivial.
I disagree completely in your assertion that design will become ubiquitous.
- bostonscott 16y agoYou're right, great design is incredibly difficult to achieve - the first time. But then it gets copied by numerous competitors. That's happening right now with the iPad.
