Too Big to Fail or Nowhere to Go But Down? 5 Companies That Dominate
Today’s news that Apple sells almost 70 percent of songs online had us wondering about other industry giants. Some companies, whether because they make a great product, or were first to a particular industry, or some other reason entirely, make goods that manage to secure a massive amount of market share.

Belkin Headphone Adapter For The Apple iPod Shuffle
It’s no secret that the headphones that come bundled with most Apple products aren’t really the best out there. It’s often worth finding better alternatives on the market and hope they’re compatible. This is the reason why the latest iPod Shuffle, which came with its own special headphone set (the controls are on the headset, and not on the iPod itself), was enough to make eyes roll. Just like Apple. Luckily, Belkin has recently developed a headset that’s compatible with the third-generation
iPod is Dying, Really?
During its quarterly earnings call today, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer focused a lot of attention on what the company is now calling its “pocket products.” That is, the iPhone, the iPod touch and the iPod. You’ll notice that Apple has taken to separating out the iPod touch from the rest of the iPod line. And that makes sense, given it shares many more similarities with the iPhone. But it’s also for another reason: The iPod, as we know it, is dying. Of the three pocket products, two saw huge y

Apple Releases iTunes (8.2.1): Disables iTunes Syncing with Pre
Apple has been ruling the roost of the mobile phone market for the king-crowned iPhone , almost two years until Palm introduced its iPhone killer, Pre to give Apple a jerk, and it did really trouble Apple for a while.
