- delinka 10y agoNeither Apple nor Sony have monopolies. Their respective offerings have plenty of competition. This is why "nobody seems to care." Don't like Apple's walled garden? Go elsewhere.
- gcb0 10y agothey "aim" for monopoly. They lock you in at every step they can. In hopes to archive monopoly, or quasi monopoly market cornering. ever since the walkman, sony tries to have a monopoly on media production. from betamax to memory stick cards to mini cd to blueray. oh, wait, they got it. what is the alternative to blueray when dvd goes away? Apple tried to do that with custom ports and data formats and now found the sweet spot with apps and media. Adobe also tried that with formats a while ago but is giving up.
