The new iTunes content won't be packed as apps sold thru the App Store, though Apple will likely supply a tablet app for showing new content made with this new platform, and developers will continue to be free to make apps. If the tablet is going to be a reply to stuff like the Kindle, which are solely about consumption, what you are going to see is Apple is going to be serious about creation.
