It's funny that everyone keeps docking Sony for pushing it's proprietary hardware on us. Meanwhile, Apple is doing the very same thing and nobody cares because they just look so bubbly and cute. I'm sick of M4P's and their damn DRM. Most of all, I can't tell you how sick I am of iPod docks. It's proprietary crap. If Apple would have made the move to bluetooth A2DP, most of the radios (home, car, and otherwise) today could have the ability to receive bluetooth hifi audio without any damn docks, cables, or cradles. Plus, other manufacturers could add bluetooth to their MP3 players and they'd be universally compatible with any car or home stereo. Of course, why would Apple want to do that when they have dozens of companies making their proprietary crap JUST for THEIR players? They've cleverly cornered the market and pulled the wool over everyone's eyes.

But they seem so cute and bubbly.....
Couldn't agree more.
