What has this move done to
improve Apple's iTune's software or iPod/iPhone hardware support? Nothing. All it does it break a feature of a competitor's product. That's not being innovative, it's being anti-competitive.
Apple fanboys have blasted Microsoft in the past because they used their market dominance in one area (operating systems) to cripple their competitors in other areas (web browsers, Java virtual machines, etc.). What Apple has done here with iTunes is really no different. They're using their dominance in the digital music field to damage their competitors in the smart phone/portable media player field.
