The Apple iPod and iTunes
I just found a recent article that explains more about the Apple iPod’s somewhat proprietary nature as described in my previous post (for those who may not know what I was talking about). You can read it here: http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1133
Interestingly there is an update at the end of the article that says French lawmakers passed the bill to require Apple to open its proprietary format. I am curious to see whether Apple will comply or leave France altogether in order to protect its trade secrets and tight grip on the market.
