    Farhad not big on details

    Farhad, you'd be much more credible if you were more accurate with your statements.

    "Nearly everything you purchase from the store will never work on any device not made by Apple."

    Wrong.

    "if you want to go mobile, the iPod and iPhone are your only options"

    Wrong again.

    Any songs one buys through iTunes can be burned to a CD and then the CD's tracks converted into MP3 format for playback on any device that supports MP3s.

    Sure it's a workaround, and it may not be convenient. But it's absolutely do-able. And in tech, details matter.
