So finally the myth about the wealthy Apple user has been broken. These people spend all their money on hardware and then Apple has to smack them into legal mode with a cryptographically signed application platform.

Sure, the iPad is a very cool product. But it's basically a DRM platform for people people who claim to hate DRM. The fight against music DRM was not "won". The reason Apple removed DRM from music was because, unlike movies and software, music is something we move around with. We listen to music in the car, on our cell phone, while painting a fence and when we wake up. Music needs to be mobile and multi-platform. Music needs to be an open standard.

I don't care about DRM or no-DRM. I just build what people want and what is financially sustainable. And the iPad more or less tells us everything we need to know about the marked. And that most people are children who can't understand copyright warnings.

There is no "no-copyright" world. Only more DRM. Like Xbox, Bluray, Kindle, iPhone and iPad. The alternative story would be that 3G forces a DRM solution. But is that really the case when you run one application at a time ?
