What will Apple's next move be in mobile services? The company has already shaken up the mobile industry with its App Store, but more is surely to come.
We've been thinking about six ways Apple could jump when it comes to mobile services: Advertising; Mapping & Location; iTunes in the Cloud; Gaming, Apple TV Everywhere, and Social Media.
The conclusion: Apple has the potential to provide exciting new platforms and APIs on which developers can build, but it could also end up in competition with some of the companies in the iPhone space, from social gaming platforms like OpenFeint and streaming music services like Spotify through to Facebook and Foursquare on the social side of things.
