And you are free to consider their product to be garbage. But it'll never be more than your opinion, no matter how many times you post it as if it's a fact. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com

That's is indeed a very good example. Were Canon to provide the same functionality then they'd be spending a lot more on unneeded development, test, and support for negligable increase in revenue. >But iPods have always been famous for forcing users to use iTunes Nope.

And yet iPods still comprise the vast majority of the market.
