I understand your concern. But as Jobs has seen how many people have bought into his 'closed garden' utopia, he obviously feels he can push more.
I feel for iThingie users if this goes ahead it may get pretty bad before it gets better (or even back to what it was). And I think for many it will lead the buying to a secondary tablet/dedicated reader in the short term so they can get their media fix.
Also I think many people will be saying in the coming months you only have yourselves to blame.
