until you can make ObjC apps on your iPhone I expect that to be possible within two years or so. And even if Macs remain the primary platform for developing apps, what's available to normal consumers is a separate matter. I stand by my prediction that by 2016, Apple won't sell any mass-market products that allow root access or running arbitrary software. Steve's footprint is ALL OVER Lion, starting with the total abandonment of the HIG in a lot of the core apps Agreed, which is why the article is incorrect. Steve doesn't care about interface consistency (at least across versions), or functionality for power users. Merging iOS with OSX is something you see in Lion? Where? Scrollbars? Launchpad Yes, along with fullscreen mode with non-support for multiple displays, reversed scrolling, removal of functionality in Spaces, and the app store being the only publicized way to install it. Steve himself said in the "Back to the Mac" presentation that a major goal of Lion is to incorporate parts of the iOS user experience, so it's not clear what you're disagreeing with.
