Apple continues to create an entirely new level of disruptive innovation in the areas of MP3, smartphone and tablet PCs by continually fueling new ecosystems of musical and video content while revolutionizing the hardware experience. The continual evolution of the iPad is today re-ordering the structure of the PC market and with it, enterprise computing (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). Just as the iPod and iPhone are revolutionizing music delivery it is feasible to assume that that iPad and follow-on tablet PCs will also bring the same level of rapid change into enterprise computing. Apple has redefined the concept of the platform as the competitive force in stable and emerging, high growth markets (Deck, 1997).

Figure 1, Apple Product and Services Ecosystem, taken from a filing the company made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) highlights how the iTunes ecosystem works (Apple Investor Relations, 2012).
