uhm... Lemmie get this straight... you can connect to any download service except the iTunes store? And it's not supporting iPods? :squint: How is this better?

If it could do those 2 things, then I see a purpose because non-Apple devices don't support DRM (which Apple has already admitted it hates DRM but it's hand was forced by the RIAA) and if you have a jukebox-type device, you're fokked with trying to play DRM encoded doo doo. Well, the iTunes application is what applies the DRM code, not the web store. If you could connect to iTunes store without the actualy iTunes app, and buy music that you can save without DRM... then there's a purpose. Otherwise, this is going to be a steaming pile of obsoleteware because there isn't yet a webstore that can beat iTunes' selection.

I'm all for competition and progress, but if this thing doesn't support all devices and media consortiums, it's worthless. iPods make up over 75% of the digital music player market. Why cater to Zune users? All 12 of them?
