Re: "The network *IS* the computer...."

dB:
I agree with many of your points, but where I disagree (mind you, I'm a PC-user) is that they consider themselves successful with the way their more recent products have performed in the marketplace.

Their iPods have plenty of problems (durability is one), yet they continue to sell out everywhere.

The AE is a great product but for the software limitations. Add USB audio output and an open format and it would be perfect.

In their view, they tie everything together to increase usage of other product. For instance, if you have an ipod, you have to use itunes. This bumps up itunes usage. If you use itunes, you have to use airtunes/the airport express (and vice versa). This bolsters usage of both products.

Anyway, I think we're saying the same ting here. I'm happy with itunes, personally, but I wish I have a digital output (RCA/optical or USB) that I could use in my system.
