The great downloads war

Guardian: "Apple's iPod has put it in pole position in the MP3 downloads race, but with the entry of aggressive new competition, the running order may be about to change, says Victor Keegan ... At the moment Apple is top banana with iTunes and the justly acclaimed iPod, and looks invincible. But Apple has been here before - it dominated the computer market decades ago but later blew it - and the question is whether history will repeat itself in an eerily similar manner ... The attraction of the quality and style of its products could wane if Apple's first-mover advantage evaporates and second movers offer cheaper products compatible with Windows Media Player and by extension, the majority of the world's computers."
