I have an iPhone 5s. In am writing this on an iPad. I also have an AppleTV at home. My wife has two Mac books, an iPhone and an iPad. My two sons both tote around repurposed iPhone 4's used as iPods and my youngest has an iPad mini.justinNeal said:You can use iTunes on any PC and stream that to a TV, allowing iTunes playback on more than just Apple TVs and iOS devices....
Disney has pretty heavily alligned themselves with Apple as well, and when it comes to home video, Disney is a big time player. It makes sense that companies don't want to align themselves with only one company, that's just a poor business decision....but comparing to the logo's on the box at the video store is not the only comparison...I don't purchase physical discs anymore, I just buy movies directly on iTunes (or buy codes on the forum) therefor I don't care which copy the disc comes with, I'm buying mine straight digital. I've yet to see a new movie I can't buy on iTunes...in fact, many new movies are available on iTunes weeks before they hit the shelf.
I don't know that Apple needs to have the majority market share...while they would like it, they are more heavily supported by longterm, full blown Apple customers (I have an iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro, Apple TV, etc) and love the fact that everything is right there tied together on all my devices. I know not everyone is an Apple fan, and that's fine, I don't expect them to be...but I also don't consider Apple out of the game, especially on the digital media front.
Cupertino slick is no doubt a value add.
However, if I were to have my library in iTunes, it would of cost me a fortune. Using D2D, it cost a fraction.
