 Include me in the camp...Submitted by Mike Torres (not verified) on April 7, 2007 - 4:59pm.
Include me in the camp of disappointed readers that the points you're arguing are invalid, Merlin. It's very much not an exclusive deal and EMI is the "innovator" here, not Apple. Of course I do agree that it's exciting for iPod and Zune owners alike - I work for MSFT and have had an iPod since 1st gen.
