On a phone it has been a useful concept since there has been previously no user optional software tools available – so the ‘App’ concept has helped introduce the prospect to phone users that their device has grown in capability.

With computers the relevancy is less obvious other than that, from the perspective of Apple’s marketing department and non-expert computer users alike (who may have cut their digital teeth using phones), there is no reason why not. Le App de Apple c’est tres bien!
