i was agreeing with it.

then it will likely fail. 

some users might switch from nikon to canon or vice versa for an apple
slr, but not that many because of the hassles and expense of replacing
lenses.

licensing both would get them about 80% of slr users who would just
need to buy a new body. no need to replace lenses. 

sony users will have to switch but they're probably already considering
that anyway.

it's unlikely to be an slr because apple no doubt is looking to the
future when mechanical cameras are mostly history, assuming this is
more than just a rumour.

or they might pursue lytro. supposedly steve jobs talked to them.
