Apple lacks good PR. They create criticism less by their actions that by not attempting to explain or justify them. It is their attitude which could cost them user loyalty. Mathew you could well be right. ” It’s not what you do,it’s the way that you do it ” is the phrase that comes to mind. Apple lacks good PR.

When the craftier hackers unlocked and jail-broke the iPhone opening up the platform to world wide development and use - Apple shrugged and then true to form "opened" up the SDK and distribution channel. Both of which they could control - remember we're talking about Apple (Yes I'm a devote) and it has always been a "privilege" to buy, sell and develop on Apple gear. No body but Apple ever really profits here! Apple redid Napster with iTunes. Now they're redoing Pwnage etc and they alone will profit.

At the moment, Apple seems to be opting for the "vertically integrated" model, where it owns and controls the whole value chain from hardware to content. It certainly satisfies the company's legendary need for control, but I'm not sure it's the best way of generating longer term value for either Apple or its customers. I think you’re right, Alistair.
