Of course, the risk is that Apple will introduce a similar service as part of iCloud that millions will jump on to because it's by Apple...

What I was saying is if Apple did introduce a direct spec for spec service as part of iCloud but if that service only worked between iDevices then I don't think Dropbox would have much to worry about
Since I was the one who wrote that original comment that started this tête-à-tête, perhaps I should clarify that I was not implying that Apple would introduce an iOS-to-Mac-only service. It would, of course, work with Windows, at the very least. I can, however, see them not bothering with Android, as there wouldn't be much to gain from their point of view.

I think the big difference there is that Apple, unlike B&N, has proven itself to be a rather well-run and efficient outfit. I doubt they would do something as stupid as not making their iCloud compatible with Windows.
