competition and "taking over"
"Hmmm, buy an IPod from Apple, no competition so you pay
what ever Steve charges. Or, buy from dozens (hundreds) of
vendors all competing. Yeah, I think Apple will lose the market."

Substitute Windows for iPod, Microsoft for Apple and Bill Gates
for Steve. Then compare Linux variations. Do you think Windows
will lose large market share any time soon? It depends on the
quality of what is offered and what people want.

As for the PocketPC vs Palm, that is as much an OS battle as a
hardware battle. MS uses it's leverage to get more items to run
using it's OS with the promise that everything that runs some
flavor of MS OS will work seemlessly. And a lot of things are
coming out using neither Palm nor PocketPC.
