So I'm checking out the new celebrity blog, The Huffington Post, and
see an article written by the music business' own version of Katherine
Harris, Hillary Rosen. And she's writing about her problems with the
iPod!
Here's an excerpt:
I
know Steve Jobs is a god. Look, I bowed at his feet when the iPod and
iTunes was created because HE GOT THE BALL ROLLING. He is as
laconically casually cool as Bono and makes really good cartoon movies
too. But keeping the iTunes system a proprietary technology to prevent
anyone from using multiple (read Microsoft) music systems is the most
anti-consumer and user unfriendly thing any god can do. Is this the
same Jobs that railed for years about the Microsoft monopoly? Is taking
a page out of their playbook the only way to have a successful
business? If he isn’t careful Bill Gates might just Betamax him while
the crowds cheer him on. Come on Steve – open it up.

Everything Apple is locked down in proprietary systems. They should just concentrate on what they're good at, design!
