You know if Microsoft said you could only use Microsoft branded keyboards, mice, webcams, etc.....They would be sued so fast (and rightly so) for anti-competative practices. How is it that Apple keeps getting away with their dictatorship? And no one bats an eye.

Apple are dumb! Palm basicaly created a whole bunch of new customers for them, they had to do no work or effort to get these new customers Palm did that for them. That could of been potential revenue for Apple since Palm Pre owners may have decided hey since im on iTunes perhaps I might want to legally buy a song. I truly dont see how they think this is to their benefit. Not everyone wants an Ipod or an Iphone. The people out there who they are not reaching out to because of that reason could have still gave them their money and lmao they cut them off. What a bunch of dumb Fks! I own a Palm Pre and couldnt care less lol but it was nice to have the option when it worked.
