Although this is now added on to my large pile of 'reasons to hate Apple,' I'm not angry at them for making only certain types of headphones compatible with their products, as I don't use any Apple products.. I'm actually more upset that because Apple is charging other companies for the rights to make a compatible headphone, those companies would simply end up charging more for those products.

That means even the people who don't even OWN Apple products will be effected by this stupid move.

Creative MP3's anyone?

I'm still using a Zen Vision: M because it hasn't broken yet. Plenty of capacity, battery life and no stupid monopolistic licenses or software requirements... Smile

Renguard is a wonderful initiative
