Hm, I think you are a bit too focused on bringing other companies into this. Going back to the first point you made, sure, not having to plug in your iOS device

Hm, I think you are a bit too focused on bringing other companies into this. Going back to the first point you made, sure, not having to plug in your iOS device is not game-changing when you are looking at the industry and specifically at Android but that’s not what Gruber said. Let’s take a closer look:
“But in short let’s just think about the ways that iCloud might be a major, dare I say game-changing, step away from USB tethering between iOS devices and iTunes running on your Mac/PC.”
He says that it would be game-changing for iOS devices. That’s most definitely true. I don’t think he says that it would be a game-changer for the industry.

First time I've heard "game-changing" used in such a limited sense, though. Usually, the game is played with other people/competitors. But I do agree that Apple/Gruber are so narcissistic as to consider playing with themselves to be game-changing. [EDIT: eww.... That sounded very different than I intended...]
