Comment What apple should do! (Score 1) 423
1. Pull out of the french market
2. Create a european Ipod that plays all the format and don't use the itunes store
3. Let all the other stores use the european ipod technology, as apple drm won't be used in europe.
4. Make the Euro Ipod cheaper, 6gb US$250.
5. Create a new marketing campaign where the euro ipod appears in all the music stores. So the people can see the new capabilities, ogg vorbis, wma, atrac, all the format out there
Let's see:
a) Because all the european users can download songs from all the music stores and put it in the euro ipod, apple will have not just a monopoly, could be a GIGAPOLY, imagine buying songs from microsoft and playing it on the ipod.
b) Wait to see how french people kill each others for the new euro ipod that play grandmother format.
