I suppose I can't argue with that.
Well, supporting autistic children is great of course, but I don't think
it's the thing that makes the market (I could add: unfortunately). But
the point about apps is good. While it's not as useful to mankind as the
autistic children support, I think that e.g. Garageband will sell a lot.
Of course, it's somewhat weird to try to seriously "play" without a real
keyboard (with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity) - but it's probably
ok for the cheaper style of music that is popular today. And for having
fun too. Read in this way the slide with the two signs "technology" and
"liberal arts" that was projected at the keynote.
I think that Android needs a few (I'm saying a few, not a lot of)
high-profile apps in this area that probably aren't the ones that single
developers or small companies can do. I think that Google is doing that,
see some recent job ads. But for competing to products such as
GarageBand, I think they should rather ask for the support of a
specialized software producer, for instance Steinberg, that has got
Sequel 2. This is just an example, just replicate it for other areas.
