This could (will?) become a slippery slope. Apple offers a lot of content through iTunes so it could potentially try to block off any media or service that doesn't pay a toll or tax to play on the platform. The "magical" device that is supposed to revolutionize the way world morphs into the large format hardware portion of Apple's content sales and distribution system.
