I personally don't see Dropbox as a loophole, but a cloud service. Lot of companies are already investing on the cloud, including Google and Amazon.

If that article is true, acquiring Dropbox will place Apple in a better position, adding into its portfolio a well known cloud service used by thousand of people, even Android and Windows customers. No need to reinvent the wheel.
