And there goes Apple using the word App/Apps generically again. Not exactly helping their case against Amazon.

I just re-read it paying attention to how they use the word "App," and I don't think their use is generic. Every time they use the word, they are referencing either developers who make applications for their devices, the applications for their devices, or their store.
I'm not too sure, this is the line that really stood out to me:

> and delivery of applications (or “Apps”)

Basically making a direct relationship between the word application and apps. Either way, I think the whole App Store argument is ridiculous.

That was the only line that gave me pause, but that's actually where they define what "Apps" means: applications for their devices.
They shouldn't win that one anyway. My TI calculator has an "Apps" button.
