Re: Unlikely, heading for "infowars" type paranoia said by a1_Andy:You keep saying itunes,
Itunes in appliance based a apple product is nothing but a appliance.
the difference is with MegaBox everyone would be able to cross platform the products gained from there service.
Itune's is useless to anyone who' does't like apple's appliances.
Well, sure. I'm not suggesting by any means that Apple is the only one out there. Google/Android has alternatives, and there are certainly others. I highlight Apple first because in my view they were the prime movers in this market and very much are the big elephant in the room. The TV content providers are very afraid of what Apple is going to do for (or to) them, analogous to what Apple did for/to the music providers.
I will quibble with you about how you characterize the Apple offerings. First it's about both iTunes and iCloud, not just iTunes. Second it's not at all an "appliance". iTunes is cross platform across Windows and Mac. iTunes generally stores music in standard MP3 files, which are compatible with any player. iCloud has a Web browser interface so can be used from anywhere. Google things like "sync iTunes to Android" and you'll see it's a very active area. |
