@ Mike :
this is naive… iPhone is a monopoly in smart phone market, App store is a monopoly, iPod is a monopoly in mp3 player market.

I love Apple and i admire Steve, but this dosnt blind me and my sense of judgement is still intact inspite of all that love… what is wrong is wrong, what is BS is BS.

How is Apple becoming an ugly Monopoly if they don’t have a monopoly in any market?

You have a choice. If you don’t like Apple, spend your money elsewhere.

Apple learned little with time and will eventually lose it all by continuing on its current path.

iPhone is an example of forcing customers to ignore all the competition.

Developers need to use Mac to develop legal software for iPhone… What were they thinking?

Not to mention silly user restrictions. Users don’t like to pay $500 to do just what Apple wants them to do.

The message Apple passes with iPhone is: “Either you are with us or against us!”… With the exception of Apple’s blind fanboys, people will eventually buy what’s best, not something that’s crappy but is branded with a famous company name… iPhone now has some success because it’s new, but unless it provides long-term quality service it’ll eventually die.

Perhaps Apple should open its eye while it has the chance, like Microsoft has been doing by learning from the mistakes it has done with Google.
