It seems wrong that company's such as apple try to take away your freedom of choice on the software and accessories you can use to complement your player.
I cant help but think that if apple had a bigger percentage of the computer market you'd have to buy a mac in order to use the ipod. Its like being locked into a contract....
Thank god for people like the Rockbox crew.
EDIT: this is probably not in the right thread so feel free to delete it , I won't be insulted
