Good question. I suspect software downloads and installations will be strictly controlled by Apple, as non-developer users will not be able to load unsigned software on their iPhone/iPod Touch. Only iTunes will be able to do it, and only software that has been explicitly allowed by Apple to appear in the Store. DRM is possible, but I doubt it's necessary as the only people who will pirate apps will have an even harder time than they do on Mac and PC platforms. I liked this post. Good question.

Although you have assumed I have actually purchased both devices, this is not the case. The question is: how does Apple plan to enforce its purchases. Currently songs have a DRM limit of x number of devices that they play on, and I'm curious to know how Apple will handle software sales. ACT, Thanks for your impudent comment.

Will I have to pay for it again? What happens is you bought two completely redundant devices and don't deserve to put the app on both.
