I'm far from being an Apple fanboy. In fact, I really hate my Mac Mini. But I really consider iTunes a stroke of genius (and key to Apple's recent success).
Having a single platform for all your needs? I remember the times (well, actually just 2 months ago), when checking on my UMPC for updates of the OS via Windows updates, for games on 3 different platforms - basically for every single 3rd party application on a different website. And that's just for applications. Movies, TV shows and music again would have been on different platforms.
There's a single annoyance in iTunes though, but this certainly will change over times: The quality of games is far from iPads potential. There are some acceptable apps like "Fieldrunners" or "Plants vs. Zombies". But if I compare to NDS, PSP or your average PC, on average the quality is abysmal. This certainly will change, as soon as the "big names" enter the arena. And that's not a problem of iTunes per se of course. I still prefer it as a single platform for games as well (I just need more quality games to chose from).
