Lock-in via the ecosystem
Well I was somewhat dissappointed in the iPod announements on Tuesday. As I blogged earlier, I lost my 30 GB 4G iPod about 10 days ago and I was waiting for the new iPod announcement before deciding what to replace it with. If Apple had come out with the widely anticipated ‘true’ video iPod that…
