Au contraire. My new iPhone works with my years old Bose Sounddock, and my old iPods work fine with the latest iTunes 8. I have got dozens of new features in the time I've had that iPod. Sure, not every piece of hardware is compatible but hardware is a lot less flexible than software.

Apple is light years ahead of Sony in this respect. I have several Vaio's as well as a PRS 500 and Sony's software support on drivers etc is equally lacklustre. It's a common complaint with Japanese companies that their post-sale customer care is weak, and Sony has this problem in spades. At some point I guess I'll learn my lesson. :-/
