Free the iPod Petition

<< < (2/2)

Chronon:
 ;D

Now that's a petition I can get behind!

Zoness:
I will sign both petitions out of politeness, I don't have anything better to do anyways. I'm sure it will have absolutely no effect on Apple because of the sheer number of devices they sell. Lost business for them I suppose, when my Nano decides to fail I will search for another Rockbox-compatable mp3 player and it may not be an Apple product.

Basically the worst damage you could do is not buy their products.

zajacattack:
Exactly. Apple doesn't have to do anything to improve their products UNLESS (1) they feel threatened that it will decrease sales or (2) it actually decreases sales!

Walrus:
Why would Apple give a shit about its customers?  They have such a legion of geeky diehards who will buy anything they release, regardless of how good it is, they don't really need to cater to, well, anyone who's not an Apple geek.  It's kind of like Radiohead, but with electronics.


What kills me is that no manufacturer has seen Rockbox and discovered that there's a small, but potentially lucrative niche market for higher-end mp3 players with high-capacity drives, OGG/FLAC support, better internal components to power bigger headphones, etc.
