Your analysis was spot on up until you made this needless remark. My praising Apple's brilliant marketing does not equate to my calling their customers sheep.

You've made a good point that by capturing a large section of the early market for iPods Apple built up a head of steam that proved unstoppable, even after the competing products caught up with and even surpassed the Apple products.

Apologies, din155, you're right. We have gone way off topic with the mp3 thing. However, it's probably reasonable that some discussion of Apple vs Amazon takes place in this thread because the introduction of the Kindle Cloud Reader does have a bearing on the restrictions placed on the Kindle app on iOS.
