The iOS ecosystem

There’s been lots written about the advantage of the iOS ecosystem. The wide range of apps and accessories that competitors can’t yet match. Having a Touchpad has really made me appreciate this, though.

Just a few of the iPad apps I’d miss on the Touchpad: AmpKit, Amplitube, Flipboard, GoodReader, Inkpad, Instapaper, MarkdownNote, Netflix, Premier Guitar, and Reeder. There may be a Touchpad Kindle app, but there might as well not be. And there are the Apple apps like Garageband and iWork.

Then there are accessories like the Apogee Jam, iRig MIDI, or Digitech iPB-10.

There was a time when iOS didn’t have any of that. WebOS could have all that and more...someday. But today, it does and webOS doesn’t.
