The Zune concentrates on being a Transportable Media Participant. Not a world wide web browser. Not a game device. Possibly in the long term it’ll do even better in people regions, but for now it’s a great way to arrange and listen to your songs and video clips, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its world wide web searching and applications. If people sound much more compelling, perhaps it is your greatest choice.

I’m sort of extremely surprised that Mr. Jobs would see his audience only within the US.

From my understanding of things, over half of Apple’s customers wouldn’t even care.

I think Mr. Job’s “What’s the point” is more saying that AAPL risks having 50% of it’s customers ticked off by this app (and in this day, anything and everything can and will get blown out of proportion) – what AAPL’s potential upside? Not much – one more app in it’s 70k app library and a drop in the revenue ocean if this is a paid for app. I completely agree that The Market should decide, but this isn’t a free market unfortunately. APPL is in a position of power to weigh the risk vs reward of letting a new app into the arena and unfortunately gave the thumbs down … no offense, but in this case I think it is smart business move on their part, but I realize how frustrating / unfair it is for the individual developer as well.
