another apple hating non-story
Sony, the lords of awful DRM will use MS DRM and somehow that will be attractive to consumers? NOT
Microsoft is competing with these players with it's Zune line, which uses a different DRM than the one MS first foisted on their OEMs. Nice.
So Verizon is going to compete and Sony is going to compete by offering a music service with music that COSTS more and has DRM.
A surefire winner.
By the end of Sept Apple will ship their 16gig 3G iPhone with wifi itunes music store support. Then what Sony?
you reg guys and your fellow travellers sure like to dump on apple.
yet n this space Apple is its own biggest competitor. do you really think they will sit still?
meanwhile all the content providers can do is focus on greed.
more DRM! higher prices for content! more restrictive DRM. Demanding a cut of the hardware sale too!
all things consumers are demanding. NOT.
oh wait maybe Zune 2.0 will hammer apple.
maybe the zune phone will do it.
you guys can only hope i guess.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
