PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless And the back-and-forth goes on. "Here we go again. Apple has updated iTunes to version 9.0.2 and Palm Pre sync is dead again using webOS 1.2.1, despite Palm's Hurculean efforts to spoof nearly every aspect of USB identification known to mankind. As with previous breakages, iTunes does launch when you connect a Pre with Media Mode, but it doesn't appear as a device on the sidebar. Pre owners can at least take comfort in knowing that Apple's main goal here was adding support for the new AppleTV format, but breaking Pre sync support was a nice cherry for them."

The iPod has 70%+ market share, and officially only syncs with iTunes, which has lead to large-scale iTunes adoption.

This iPod-iTunes-iTunes Store bundle has created a market where rival hardware manufacturers, rival MP3 player software, and digital music stores are each at a huge disadvantage and has lead to Apple's domination of each these markets.

Why aren't regulators doing anything about it?


It's not a Monopoly.
