1. Customers and developers alike have demanded this functionality, and Apple has seen the light. Applications that just run in the iPhone version of Safari was not going to cut it.
2. My new business can make use of this wonderful news in product development

More details need to emerge before I get super-excited, like what will the developer limitations, if any, be? But I am a bit excited.

Some discussion has been going on everywhere in the blog-o-sphere. Example: Robert Scoble discussed this.

But, it does raise an interesting question. Are we seeing the end of the “box” computer as we know it? Is this new sleek, efficient design going to be the norm? Some will say, maybe justifiably, that the Gateway One is an Apple copycat (it wouldn’t be the first time people have accused a company of copying Apple, and vice-versa). But maybe this design is becoming the new black. It may take a few years to get the design right for the ultimate productivity machine, for example, but that is what innovation and technology are for.

Would I buy a Gateway One? If we weren’t going to buy an iMac, I would consider it. Maybe I am a schmuck, but I love these type of desktop computer designs.
