You already have a choice to either buy their products or not too.

In no way is it Apple's fault that no one else can offer competitive services to iTunes or the App Store, nor is it their fault that people can't offer software that works seamlessly on their devices.

Of course people are able to take shots at Apple cause they are constantly in the spot light, and apparently someone high up has stock in Microsoft and has it hard up for Apple.

Consumers decide with their money which companies are producing products that people like, and currently with how the money is flowing into Apple, everyone is loving their products and their services.

Then this whole 1984 thing everyone is on about, is about EVERYTHING being the same, Apple is not about being the same, all their products are cutting edge. Then people complain about not having a full OS on the iPad or iPhone, they built an OS tailored for mobile devices, why would anyone want anything different, if you want to do something serious then use some sort of remote access on the iPad or pull out a laptop.

But oh well, my opinion counts for nothing in this fanboy laden comment section.]]>May 31st 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
People still criticize Apple for limitations. See, it's not that they feel trapped, it's that people WANT to like the Apple platforms, but there are things they just can't get past (draconian policies), and want to bring them into the spotlight so Apple addresses them, gets better, and they can use the platform. Why do people like you shun all criticism? Why behave like cons don't exist, or are just another subjective thing and aren't Apple's responsibility?

Btw, you can't run around accusing others of being fanboys when you make absurd claims like the DoJ being in Microsoft's pocket after the past 15 years of legal crap (and a good chunk of it unwarranted) thrown in Redmond's direction. It just makes you sound silly, or blissfully unaware.]]>May 31st 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/

So you say "Apple is not about being the same," and then you say "why would you want anything different [from iPhone OS]." Doublethink intended?]]>May 31st 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
You erronously believe that anyone critical of Apple must automatically be a fanboi of company A/B/C/D.

People don't need to be a fanboi of anything to be critical of flaws or perceived flaws. Criticism is far more productive than tacit compliance.

You paint others in the skin of fanbois because it reflects your own tainted perception of yourself. You see in others, the very things you are yourself.]]>May 31st 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
I really wish 7egend had stuck to the point that consumers already have a choice: buy Apple products or don't. This is what really matters. All the rest of his nonsense really did a disservice to this argument.

Some people value other things more than platform openness. This doesn't wholly invalidate the criticism; it just means that some people are willing to take that trade-off in favor of other benefits. When the people who it's important to outnumber the people it's not as important to, Apple will address it or fail as a business.

And failing as a business does not necessarily mean having a minuscule market share. Mac sales account for less than 5% of computer sales worldwide, but it's still a wildly successful business for Apple. The same can be true for mobile devices. The opposite can also be true for Google. Having 60-70% market share may look great on paper, but if it doesn't translate into advertising revenue, it won't matter.]]>May 31st 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/

The OSX versions of Office, Photoshop and Firefox disagree with you. When applications are consistent across platforms, then you get competition based on the strengths of the platform itself. Which is a plus.]]>May 31st 2010 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/May 31st 2010 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
That was my point. Feature and performance wise they're lacking compared to their Windows counterparts. Even worse, they don't seem to play to the strengths of OSX so I see Apple's point. It's an interesting debate.]]>May 31st 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
I am a developer and I like Apple products (apart from my crummy macbook), but I *hate* the idea that I have to develop unique apps for every lock-in platform. I also *hate* the idea that anyone should tell me what tools I should use regardless of the quality of my final application.

The argument that developers should be happy to do this (or incompetent if they don't want to) ignores business reality. Every platform that requires its own custom software and development toolchain adds a large percentage to the cost of the product. We've been through this rubbish for a decade of having to make websites tailored to specific browsers, and I hope for a better future (HTML5 / js doesn't come close yet btw.)

I *can* develop for numerous platforms and technologies, I just don't like being forced to for no legitimate reason but lock-in and control freakery.

APIs and translation layers work in all other software industries, and until they work for iProducts I'm steering clear of developing for them. I would guess 99%+ of all apps do not require raw native code performance and could live with a tiny percentage hit for the benefit of being massively cheaper to produce.]]>May 31st 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
I understand and appreciate your desire to streamline your workflow, but I think you're blowing things out of proportion.

Apple made it clear that it feels the need to control the programming language in order to keep its platform competitive. You need to evaluate the potential income from developing for Apple's platform and decide whether or not the additional investment is worth the potential return. If it is, then you need to build that additional development cost into the cost of your application.

If this additional cost drives up the cost of applications for the iPhone platform and users are not willing to absorb them, they will move on to other platforms that can offer the same (or a better) experience for a lower price. As users leave the platform, your potential return will diminish, and eventually it won't be worth the investment needed to support the platform. If – on the other hand – users are willing to absorb the additional development costs, then it has no negative effect on your business whatsoever.

It may irk you philosophically, but it won't affect your business.]]>May 31st 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/I don't see why Apple can't have it both ways, Flash AND HTML5.

Yes they should be able to dictate what they sell in their store, but they shouldn't be able to dictate what people do with their devices. This means allowing 3rd party stores or side loading of apps through something other than itunes.

And just because they're not a monopoly yet doesn't mean they shouldn't be looked into. In the music distribution industry in particular they're quickly heading towards number 1 and its right for the DoJ to be stopping any anti competitive practices before it really effects the consumer, not after]]>May 31st 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
But in reality, the "other smartphone" manufacturers are not market leaders in the amount of and availability of apps for their products.

Why? Because they did not see it coming. they were and still are complacent to the actual needs and wants of their client base.

Apple is not the best nor the worst at what they do. BUT what they do best is provide a series of technological tools that fulfil their/its desire to create a media hub environment for the general user.

I do not like the restrictions that Apple has placed in its products - hardware and software. And I do not like it enough to use something else. I had too many problems with other products too long.

Now, my home, office, labs and factory and all Apple-fied!

"...Apple's iTunes store accounted for a whopping 90% of the online music downloads." 2007

In US mp3 downloads iTunes has a dominating marketshare.

This doesn't differ anyway from the inquiry of intels business practices. In intels case they used their dominating marketshare to keep AMD off IBMs etc machines. Now apple is getting a look into their strategy to keeping amazon down.

While the definition of monopoly that was used against Microsoft is vastly different than the definition that is being used against apple, both did/do have a monopoly. MS has one in pure numbers and a weakening one on industry influence. Apple has one with number in the DAP market( just not as big as MS in the PC market) and influence in different types of media ( music store, digital content on vastly popular devices. The latter of which is the reason the DOJ if investigating, Apple is rumored to have pressured EMI records to not participate in Amazon's discount pricing on their mp3 store, which is illegal if found to be true (kinda like the case against Intel and Dell,HP, etc for limiting AMD's processor usage). But the most influential part the the type of "monopoly" that starts these investigations is the monopoly on mind-share. iPod is used as a noun to describe any mp3 player by the public, kinda like Google is a noun used to describe searching on the internet, or like internet explorer is synonymous with the "internet" with the public. If these weren't so common place the Officials could care less if companies dominate an industry. The problem is that the public often thinks that the only way to buy music online is through iTunes, or the only way to search online is to "Google". That and when a company does something illegal ( like Microsoft and the Netscape fiasco) are the only reasons that the DOJ even cares.]]>May 31st 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
I agree. Apple can do what they want with their app store because they own it. Just as I own a bus company in Alabama, so I can make black people sit in the back.

In reality I think Steve has done well, but he's hung Apple out there on its own with few friends. The Labels, Microsoft, etc have all learned how to work the system. The only thing harder to fight than getting companies under the microscope, is being on the outside once they're all "cozy" with regulators and "industry standards". They're all looking to throw Apple "under the bus" under a mountain of technicalities Apple has avoided until now. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/dojs-inquiry-at-apple-purportedly-expanding-beyond-itunes-pract/
