The iTunes stores! It is monopoly at its finest. Apple could eventually half the price if the masses by their books and software and rent or buy their movies all from Apple.
Eventually, there will be an iPad to Apple TV interface, and they can cut out the cable companies too.
Scary now that I think about it.
- GHFigs 17y agoIt is monopoly In what market and by what definition?
- Perceval 17y agoGrandparent is probably thinking along the lines of a local monopoly, analogous to an old company town: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_town http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_town The analogy is not perfect, since you can buy mp3s and movies and ebooks from other services. But on iPhones and iPads the barriers to getting content from non-iTunes sources is certainly higher than it otherwise would be on a regular Mac (or any other PC for that matter). full disclosure: lifelong Apple user
