Apparently Apple users hate our freedom

Apparently Apple users hate our freedom

This was an interesting article I found on Apple iTune's ability to sync to other phones.

Interestingly enough, this article says 67% of those polled feel Apple should have the right to only sync iTune to Apple products. This brings up a great debate around whether new devices like the Palm Pre, should have the ability to use Apple iTune technology on it's device or not?

I think back to my Economic Undergraduate classes that discussed the invention of the QWERTY Keyboard and feel iTune's has positioned itself in a similar way. Where the keyboard is a must with Computers, iTunes is evolving into a position of being a must-have with most mobile and computer devices. Our culture has embraced iTunes and the simple idea of downloading songs they want, rather than spending ten plus dollars on a CD that has songs you will never listen to a second time.

Anyways, I'm sure over time this issue will fizzle and Apple will continue to prosper. Look for future devices to incorporate iTunes into their gadgets.
