They're as likely to do that as they are of letting you know all the
other convenient places you can get music for your iPod.

I seriously doubt Apple's main motivation in locking down *any* of
their devices is the welfare and security of their end-users.

And yeah, my protest plan in this democratish capitalistish society is
to buy an Android phone. We're waiting to see what handsets come out
over the summer, but both my wife and I are pretty well decided on
Android as an interface.
