while the fundamentals are the same, Apple’s approach to the concept of the cloud is the opposite of their competitors. Apple’s belief is clearly that users will not and should not care how the cloud actually works.
[…]
Apple is going after consumers who have absolutely no idea what the cloud is, and don’t care. Apple is saying they shouldn’t care. it all just works.
google seems to be aiming more for users who understand current computing paradigms and want to transition that knowledge to the future of computing, the cloud. power users, if you will.

progress.
The most critical announcements that Apple has made, and has yet to make, relate not to new products, but fundamental extensions of the infrastructure that Jobs has quietly embedded into and around his iconic devices: Seamless cross-device integration; ridiculously simple platforms for downloading, sharing and streaming content; a one-click payment system that currently holds more than 100 million active accounts, each with linked credit card information.
The rumors are rife about Apple’s soon-to-come move to the cloud — which would make its media and application framework both ubiquitous and device-agnostic — and an even-sooner-to-come addition of wave-to-pay technology to its mobile devices — which would allow Apple’s iTunes accounts to be used to purchase real-world goods as well as digital ones.
If so, Jobs’s last act as CEO might well be not just to change the world, but to build a new one, with Apple’s technology at its core.

- In 2009, though the financial crisis had a sizable impact on Apple’s revenue and earnings, Apple still managed to grow its revenue by 14.5% — operating expenses only grew 12.6%
