Future is streaming. I bet at some point owning movies will be as pointless as owning tv shows and music is now.

I agree. I haven't bought DVDs or bluerays for years. But I do buy movies for streaming online, because a) I'm a movie fanatic, and I don't want to wait years for them to appear on netflix streaming (if they ever do), and b) I have four kids, and kids want to watch the same movies again...and again....and again. Try explaining to them they can't watch a movie any more because Netflix's rights expired.

Anyway, while Netflix and Hulu are decent for TV, they sucks balls for movies. I've bought a couple hundred from iTunes. You can often get great deals on them too - a lot of the movies (including recent ones) I've only paid out $8 for.

I'm not sure how you tie that much up in apps, most people use pretty basic stuff.

Again, you don't have kids. The iPad in particular has a lot of great educational apps and games, as well as interactive books.
