I have been wondering about the lawsuits that Microsoft went through when it bundled Internet Explorer and Windows Media with its Windows operating system. Apparently everyone had a problem with it because Windows was the OS that the majority used.
In today’s world, I use an iPhone (and together with iPad make a system which is arguably becoming the platform of choice).
In this case I am limited to the iCloud, iTunes and iPod. To be honest, I love the iPhone but hate the latest version of iTunes and iPod, and really really dislike the iTunes desktop application.
Why can’t I use the Amazon service seamleslly on my iPhone. Or store my photos and videos in a more open way. Or load the digital books straight from my desktop. Is this limitation not similar to Microsoft using one device to force other choices on people?
Thoughts are appreciated.
