October 22, 2010 -- Think Apple has a monopoly on iPhones? Not exactly. At The Daily Beast's Innovators Summit, Sean Parker explained how if you can't move content to your iPod, you're "screwed."

  • Apple doesnt know open source. And ppl support it. sad....

  • @m015094 - yes, but you made is "sound" like he was automatically getting $400 million, so watch it next time...

  • @tnoyy34rt No shit idiot.  That's why I called it a contract.

  • Correct, Apple hasn't used any copy protection for music for several years. Steve killed DRM with his famous letter. (google it)

  • @chammer221 - no, you are confused, you can put ANYTHING that is standard on an iPod, iPad, iPhone, Mac, etc... Apple only uses OPEN standards so there is no lockin. You are thinking of "Microsoft" where they use proprietary formats so you can't move around, but Apple is fully open. Download from Amazon, Rhapsody, or a CD, the iPod, etc will play it with great fidelity. That's why the iPod is so popular, it plays anything.

  • @austntexan - the iPod plays all audio standards, it's the most open MP3 Player don't forget.

  • @hectorcaceres04 - but Apple doesn't work that way... they've never been in it for the money, it's all about making the world a better place. Sure, money is a side effect of that effort, and helps people in the process, but employees don't work at Apple to make a lot of money, the culture doesn't allow it.

  • @m015094 - but that's over 10 years! and he doesn't get nearly that much unless he stays the full 10 years... do research dude!

  • @TheQueenl92 - Mac laptops start around $1,199, desktop Macs around $599, so quit trying to lie. You get more than what you pay for when you buy an Apple, we all know that... so quit with the hate.
