    Just a clarification. Is that 20% of downloaded apps are free, or 20% of all apps on the store free?

  2. Barry says:

    What I wonder is, is with Apple products becoming more and more popular, will they lose their identity? I thought the whole mystique of apple is that it was for the “rest of us.”

    The above is a great summary by the way, but I found skimming the full transcript to be very benefitial.
