If smartphone app sales (namely iPhone app sales) have taught manufacturers anything it's that there's ready money to be made in the parting of the people from their pennies. For the past few years we've seen very little uptake in the general, non-mobile app sales market as Apple - and now, to a lesser degree - Android had that world sewn up. Now, however, I fear that appization - meaning the creation of cloud-based stores that sell small widgets, pieces of content, or streams and that eschew physical media entirely - is coming to just about everything including desktops (Mac App Store and the Windows App Store), publishing (Conde Nast et al), and now TVs. Books will be appized. Magazines will be appized. Cable TV will be appized. Heck, even OSes are appized.
