Now this is sad: even at 99 cents per tune, Jobs can't show a

looks like the music has just become a gimmick to sell iPods and

I don't believe him for a minute. He would of know the deal going
into it before he signed Apple to be a distributor. Maybe he is
looking for a write off and is setting it up now.

Maybe he's looking to discourage potential competitors from entering
the market?


I believe him. Just imagine the overhead. The music is a promo for
ipods. What's wrong with selling ipods?

I believe that this analysis agrees with the ones currently being published
in the business trade magazines. Apple is setting up a new line of
business - portable media players. They need a legitiamte source of program
material for their players to play.

And King Gillette is rolling in his grave.
