How can you say such about a Kindle? I can read my Kindle stuff on 1)
my PC, 2) My phone, 3) my iPod, 4) on the iPad if I had one. Then there
are other ebooks.
There is no monopoly with Apple. Anyone can get in on the App writing.
Even third parties can develop stuff for it, like covers, etc. The few
Apple-specific accessories don't amount to beans.
To talk about monopoly here is basically to no want anyone leading the
way in terms of innovation.

When the market get's behind them as the defacto choice, the are a
monopoly. Same goes for their PC's, after all who makes hardware than
runs OSX besides Apple?
If all the app development and content ends up primaryily or even
solely supporting this device we have a real issue. Kindle is in the
same boat IMHO. We need to decouple the hardware, OS, and content so
that no one company controls more than 1.

What monopoly? Apple's products don't represent any kind of
monopoly...it's just apple product specific..

Which is exactly why I'd never buy in, even if I needed it, too much
of a monopoly.

Gotta love Apple's version of the "razor and blades" strategy with
all those
"must-have" accessories, Apps, and content (music and video).
Except in
Apple's case, they make a ton of money on BOTH the razor and the
blades.
