A lot of these arguments just don't seem very well thought out. Apple's todo-list is going to kill Remember The Milk? Maybe, but there are hundreds of todo-list apps in the store already, all with subtly different semantics and presentation, none of which appears to have achieved dominance and killed all the others, even though many are free. Why should Apple's fare any differently? And it's like that in every category. People predicted that Time Machine would kill SuperDuper. Well, it turns out that Time Machine is totally not a replacement for SuperDuper, and SuperDuper is very much alive, thank god. And Time Machine thrives as well, which is good, because the tools have different audiences and purposes. Seems like any article like this one should include a link to that classic article about the guy who had a Starbucks open up next to his indie coffeeshop, and then a year later started looking around for locations near other Starbucks stores to open coffeeshops in. It would be a useful disclaimer, because sometimes the big player co-opts your niche, but sometimes it justs makes your niche more mainstream.
