I agree they are staying the course with what they have done in the past. That's part of what I find so fascinating about the whole Apple story... There are few companies that have ever had the "counter culture" following Apple has had... especially among the ones that operate how Apple does. I wonder how they pull that off?

Specifically the notion that Apple should use the iPhone as a launch pad to change the fundamentals of how the cell phone industry works. But I think the comparison of music downloads and the iPhone is kind of a reach. One is purely content and one is the support and development of a platform/operating system. If you look at Apples history and how "open" they have been with their platforms in the past, you will see that they are staying true to course. This is why you are not seeing a backlash. Denis,
