Apple and Aperture Going into Stock
Will Apple use Aperture to go into the stock photo business?
Once Aperture is installed in a critical mass of desktops, they could buy a stock agency and become the premier vendor for commercial still and video stock.
It follows their itunes model, only with this they need to buy rather than build a stock business.
I predict that they will buy Getty, and go head to head with Corbis and Microsoft.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
