Box.net would only be useful for streaming big files like, well movies? Folks will be far better off using dotMac or .Mac for this purpose. Why? Because of Apple's sync services. They use interfaces called schemas which are based on the IETF ICalendar protocol standard. But it goes beyond sync'ing to-do lists, appointments, and contacts. It can sync entire directories of your companies web page source code. Certainly there are lots of things on the horizon. Its probably why your hacker friends saw the Apple address book application underneath the hood. Apple's new UI associated with MacOS X allows the linking of every application to the address book. And the iPhone runs MacOS X. So, how does one seamlessly integrate iPods, iPhones (now the ultimate iPod), Mac computers, the dotMac or .Mac portal, and your phone service and features? What possible service and feature extensions are possible now? That's the question to ask. Microsoft looks to be behind the eight-ball now. It seems that Steve Jobs hiatus into digital movie making magic and the entertainment industry may help him to finally put the one-up on Bill Gates? Only time will tell. Apple has been known to drop the ball in the past ... open all-the-way to the end zone they often trip over themselves through internal backbiting and constant direction changes. Will Apple use sync services, perhaps dust off some old Newton ideas, (such as handwriting recognition), voice recognition, to create a new UI paradigm? Will they leverage their huge accomplishments in the entertainment industry to revolutionize the way people use digital media and the internet? Or are have they created yet another flash-in-the -pan.
