hmm. things move in many directions at once.

arguably the biggest shift in income-based-on-selling-software in the last
several years has come from the iOS app model. its true that the embedded
markets and selling to professional users have the potential for moderate
size revenue if you can offer the products/functionality that are needed.
but one could easily argue that the direction other industries are moving
right now is "to the tablet". check the emergence of ipad-based "cash
registers" for example.

clearly, that's not the only direction things are moving in. but the point
is that there is no single direction.
