In the initial aftermath of Apple’s WWDC keynote presentation, many developers are struck by (and stuck with) the reality that future iOS features might upend or altogether replace the functionality of their own App Store offerings.  A Lonnie Lazar piece at Cult of Mac has a decent take on the perceived community fallout, quoting David Pogue of The New York Times as tweeting “his condolences for ‘all those app developers who have had their ideas pilfered by Apple today,’” and opining that several companies and technology purveyors have got to be quaking in their boots as a result of seeing Apple’s roadmap to the future. While I understand the sentiment, I disagree with the notion that Apple stole anything from App Store developers with their newly-introduced iOS 5 feature set. Not a single thing demoed for iOS 5 is new in theory or in practice, nor were the concepts unique to the apps already providing the features or services in question.  Taking a look at the list of new capabilities, it’s easy to pick out the most obvious app conflicts; and, because Instapaper ‘s future has been in question ever since Apple’s Reading List surfaced a month ago , discussing its approach is a sound place to start.  The app’s creator, Marco Arment, remains as optimistic now as he was then , putting a decidedly positive, logical spin on things. From his blog: Today, fewer than 1% of iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch owners are Instapaper customers, despite Instapaper spending a lot of time (including today) at the #1-paid-app spot in the App Store’s News category for both iPhone and iPad
