I dunno... Continuity, answering phones on a PC, etc, seems to point pretty strongly at "we are going to make switching between all our devices as seamless as possible" for "what they plan to do next".

That's not really "optimizing", considering that Apple is aiming at a range of improvements to the cross-device experience that other companies have only barely touched at (Chrome tab sync, etc).

This is especially true because introducing any new 'smart' (=connected) products into your life if you already have computer, smartphone and tablet, is going to be just too much if the issues about being in synch haven't been solved until then. Apple has the right ideas about pushing in this direction - as for me I've essentially given up on trying to keep everything both synched and available for any use case. The main thing Apple's fall updates won't offer that I'd really like is multi-user for iPads. If it weren't for that, iOS 8 / OSX 10.10 are - on paper - pretty close to where I'd want everything to be. That being said, it probably won't solve Apple's software QA issues I've been experiencing lately.
