I'm in favour of this move. CDs were great (along with cassette tapes and LPs) because you could play them in any CD player and you could buy the CDs themselves from any shop. For some odd reason we don't get this with MP3 players and I do think that's anti-competitive. If I want to move to a different MP3 player or buy my music from another store to use on my iPod then that should be my choice and Apple should have to accept that.
This has not really been the case, though. When VHS was replaced by DVD, you didn't get the new media for free. Being locked into a particular platform occurs all the time--toner cartridges for printers aren't standardized, for example. I can't use Comcast's on demand to buy programs, then switch to DirecTV and have them transferred. When I buy the latest video game, it doesn't come packaged with PS2, PC, Mac, and XBOX versions.
See the theme? If you choose a limited hardware platform, you must accept the constraints of that platform. CDs are universal because the standard was universal (Sony, Philips, etc. formed a consortium from the get-go)--multiple manufacturers make CD players. Here, the content is the same but the packaging is different--cassette, CD, M4A. Only Apple makes M4A players.
By purchasing a song from iTunes, you are receiving the file with limitations. The reason for the price is bundling. If you want a product with no restrictions, which you want to use to the fullest extent of fair use (or beyond, if you so choose), you have to look elsewhere. You're not being denied fair use when you rent a movie on VHS for $2 when the DVD rental is $4...and you don't get to rent the VHS, then make a DVD just to save $2. Likewise, you're not paying for an unrestricted copy of the song on iTunes, and you aren't entitled to treat it as such using "fair use" as an excuse.
If you want unencumbered music, pay for the CD. If you want instant gratification and a lower price, then be an adult and accept the DRM. The option you want is out there and legally available--it's just that CDs are a "bad value." Likewise, iTunes tracks are probably a "bad value" to many people who think 99 cents should entitle them to DRM-free files. Should DRMed digital files be cheaper? I think so. But that's no excuse to go beyond the clear and publicized terms of my payment.
I don't want to have to re-purchase my iTunes music that I have bought. If DVD Jon has a way to allow reasonable consumer choice then FairPlay to him.
Nobody wants to buy things twice, but that's no excuse. I have piles of spare tools that fit cars I no longer own; toner cartridges for printers I no longer own; memory cards for cameras I no longer own; and floppy disks for computers I no longer own. Each time I switch companies, I have to deal with the consequences of my prior purchases.

As far as I know Palm is the best way to go for what your describing, plus its the most compatible with OSX. One of the Zire's should suffice. I personally like the Tungsten T5 myself.

I could never figure out what the problem was with the screen margins. Look how the last letter in "Marketplace" is cut off. This drove me insane when I first saw this image - I thought it was a beta screen. But this was how it shipped apparently. I've noticed the same thing happen in some of the WinPhone7 screen shots and product demos. Can anyone explain this to me? What were the designers thinking?

Right, that's why Android has taken over the #1 spot in the mobile space
Irrelevant. Just because Android is the lowest common denominator doesn't make it better. Nor does it mean that Apple aren't going to carry on making huge profits. Consider the case of OSX/Windows if you need help understanding this.
and why there are threads with thousands of people asking daily for jailbreak updates? lol
So there are thousands of people who stupidly didn't do their research and bought the wrong product. Compare that to the millions of satisfied customers who don't spend all day whining on the internet.

i was all ready to plop some money down for a new 80gig iPod, even though I really dont need it. the big attraction for me was the battery life. however...
i upgraded the software in my current 30gig 5G and with the brightness controls turned down a bit, i noticed that movie playback lasts a good deal longer than it did, actually letting me watch a full 2.5 hour movie i encoded myself with a bit of life to burn at the end listening to music.
anyone else test the life of their 5G battery watching video with this new feature?

Ok I did something stupid.
I downloaded the trial of appzapper thinking that I'd actually try to keep my new macbook pro clean and get rid of the "hidden" files associated with other applications. So I downloaded the trial of photoshop cs5 and then zapped it after the trial period was up, and appzapper deleted a bunch of other files associated with adobe. Great, I guess that's what I told it to do.
Now, when I try to open pdfs in Safari (to just view in the browser, and not download them), a dialog box opens asking me where adobe reader is because safari can't read the pdf. I can only download the pdf.
I looked a little on adobe's website and google, but the adobe website wasn't much help and I could only find an apple memo on how to fix it if you're using windows. :(
So I'm turning to my friends in this forum... What can I do to make it better?
Thanks in advance.

I remember I was in the 8th grade when it happened. No one would tell us what happened, but all the teachers were upset and freaking out, and rumors started to leak in from kids who had checked in to school late, etc. I remember being scared because no one could tell us anything, no TVs, etc. They finally did in the last period of the day and everyone just sitting there with these awful looks on their faces, and this one girl just crying and crying because she had family who worked next to the WTC. It was awful.
I wish they'd told us; they didn't tell the high schoolers either (though I do know one current issues teachers ignored orders and turned on the news because he thought his students should know). I mean, we would have known anyways, and all it did was cause confusion and fear.

Sorry to hear that. I really liked the Zune HD interface but MS never created something like the iTune Store. I have seen it in the wild at the university and the interface was actually nice and did things that I wish the iOS would do.
The Zune HD was sweet looking but MS really dropped the ball when they did not put effort into games on it. What I find strange is they are killing the Zune but bringing out a phone interface that mimics the Zune :confused:.
You would think that they could integrate the Zune HD their Phone 7 and Xbox to make something like what Apple has done but NO:rolleyes: that would be just way to out there for MS.
Pretty sure the windows phone 7 team is the zune team. Music players are kind a waste of time now days since just about everyone has a cell phone along with most being capable playing music.

hello everyone! i just joined the forums today and would simply like to introduce myself. i searched around for the appropriate section to post this thread but didn't see an off-topic or introductions section so i figured i would post it here since i'd more than likely spend my majority of time here.
my name is gabriel and i have been a windows user for over 15 years now. that all changed with my purchase of the new generation mac mini. first thing i swapped out was the 2gb ram with 8gb of crucial memory. noticed a huge improvement especially in cs3 and bridge. i am currently using a gateway fpd2185w monitor with apple bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. i am looking into getting an ips monitor and those dell ips monitors are looking very good especially for the price. my monitor was flickering yesterday while running intensive applications but seems to be working fine now. i noticed others on here have experienced flickering screens so i will keep a close eye on it.
other apple products i own are iphone 3gs (wife and i), ipod classic 160gb, airport express and that's about it. so far it's been an easy transition from windows to mac and would appreciate any further advice from you fellow experienced members on here. :)
