This device is more of an extension of iTunes than an mp3 player. To
make it PC compatible they would have to port iTunes to a PC or lose the
whole concept of device/application recognition. This thing will not
work without iTunes. iTunes is unique to the Mac experience just like
iMovie and iDVD. I do not see why Apple would essentially give iTunes
to microsoft by porting it to a PC. Sorry PC users. Get something
else. As a Mac user I am glad that SJ is making my experience better.
Too bad it comes at a cost of $400.
