My livelihood isn't any more threatened than it was before the iPad was launched or this patent came to light. I can already bring up all that information on my phone or computer, on a website. We can't just decry the technology for competing with our business; we have to adapt to the technology and even use it to our benefit. And, ultimately, the market - the customers - will determine what they want to buy or use. Blaming Apple because we've attached ourselves to outdated business models isn't useful or productive.

Apple really are trying to cover every angle to get customers nowadays. In my business I have already noticed RSVP cards have been replaced with a simple email address in the invitations. Although this move from Apple may not have a detrimental effect for a while to come, it is still a worrying prospect. We are going to have to play on our customer's traditional values and convince them the old paper invitations are the most romantic way to go! This is the first I had heard of this.
