By that logic, why does anyone need an ipod that can store photos songs and data.

It was good for the day.

I don't mind if the phone uses some Motorola aspects but it had better be Apple primarily.

If it's so great, then use it, pay their fee they deserve your money if it's so useful.

you know I could see apple doing for digital books what it did for digital music, making it afforable and mainstream to buy your books online as online content.

If they did it would have to be pretty special, books are just as much about having the tangiable thing to hold as the words inside.

So is Music, but if the price is right, people will use it. I stil buy my CD's and buy single songs when I just want the song. When it comes to books its all about price. As a digital form there is no way I would pay more then $10.00 for a full publication because there is no production costs. And if the price is low I would pay for my publications too. I think it has a chance.
