Apple's strategy: a web-free cloud. "Apple's new cloud platform is built for native applications, in an attempt to pull users into native apps designed for their platforms. This method also gives Apple the chance to sell hardware, applications, and content that will lock users into their platform even more firmly." This is why we see, for example, the T.S. Eliot The Waste Land on iTunes (which, incidentally, costs $13.99) instead of a web site (which, incidentally, is free).
