Re: Apple Releases iTunes 8.2.1 - Kills Palm Pre Sync Dead

Everyone cracks on Microsoft about being money mongers... but Apple is far worse. Apple thinks it's a good idea to charge 3 times as much for a computer that has half the power, and markets themselvs as a status symbol more than a company that makes good products. Then they top it off by blocking devices from iTunes? The way they think is completely stupid.

Apple...

Blocking other devices so people have to buy an iPod to use our service.

That is going to cost them, not make them money. Why use iTunes and Apple music store if it doesn't work for the device you ALREADY HAVE? People aren't going to run out and buy iPods just because they blocked out the Pre or any other device. Everyone will find an alternative. Hopefully Apple will trip over their own greed at some point, and their prices will fall with them on the way down. An "economic faceplant" so to speak.
