I guess the app store app it self would do the splitting up of the applications automatically. This would relatively simple to do and be transparent fit the end user. On a computer similar methods coils be used to determine which device you have based on the device you have or simply just filter the devices (added by Mobile using Mippin)

2-way video on a handset is going need a powerful graphics chip that does little to drain a battery.

If you want to be in front of the competition you must do it yourself. Outsourcing, or buying technology from third parties, will at best keep you on par with everyone else.

What are they planning?

Why, simply to own the hand-held computer space, that's all.

This buying of companies that own the patents may not be the best approach. It cuts apple off from innovative chip designers, because its very hard to justify a buy from, say, Anadigics when you have PA Semi in the back pocket, - even when the other company may have a better product.

But just because someone transfers from a failing company to a strong one does not mean much more than he could see the writing on the wall, and made a wise career move.

More interesting to me, is when and how they’ll spilt the AppStore for compatible / non-compatible apps depending on the device you have.

Multi-tasking and better performance of course.

But, specifically maybe looking at making a bigger grab at the portable gaming market. The iDevices are not just an iPod, mobile internet device, and phone anymore. They are going to be portable gaming power houses.

Enter the third player in the portable gaming market; Apple.
