Great news I guess...

Now tell Steve to make an iPod which doesn't need iTunes in order to transfer music, (or any other 3rd party app I need to pay for/or not) and I'll bite. Until then, my quest for larger capacity, non proprietary file format/software driven DAP continues.

But yeah, good news for flash based HD's..sorta. Betcha Apple cornered a HUGE percentage of that market and has some deal that prohibits (who is it, Toshiba ?) the HD manufacturer from dealing with companies other than them. Bi'ness as usual.
