They're saying "Look, we've got this new platform that's more interesting than boring old computers, let's us have absolute control over everything about, and practically prints money for us." It's pretty obvious why they've made their choice, even if it affects me as a primarily desktop user. In fact, I'd be willing to bet all of Apple's management team uses their desktops way more than their mobile devices. But it's all about cool factor and the iPhone OS has it right now.

Guess it's a good time for the Linux desktop to improve!
