I would agree with you Apple didn't have the application side of the model figured out... but they had a great launching point in iTunes (and the related experience gathered along the way). How much of an issue would you say discoverability is in the App Store (seeing that they are glutted with apps)? If you are not profiled (i.e. have no ranking) it is very difficult to get noticed.

It is hard to say if Apple had the apps-side of the ecosystem figured out. Apple started w/ a web approach to applications. They definitely had music-side figured out. Yes extending the iTunes model to applications was the right thing to do. Thanks Phil. It is hard to say if Apple had the apps-side of the ecosystem figured out.
