Yeah, AND they would improve on the iTunes interface instead of aping Apple's iTunes interface.
And what do YOU call windows users?
in this case it makes sense to be the sheep
otherwise you're not the sheep, but you're stuck with piece of sht hw or sw that doesn't work
aka you're not a sheep, you're a retard
Users who prefer Windows. What do you call them?
Also, how did they ape iTunes' interface? It happens to use standard OS X controls and conventions. You know, like a good OS X app would do.
Can you please give examples? I can give you some links to exploding iPod touches. No hardware is perfect, but saying iPod rules and everything else doesn't work without supporting evidence doesn't help you win an argument. There are a lot of nice alternatives out there that work just as well, including the Zune HD (please don't burn me at the stake).
Double twist is pretty useless unless you have a supported device. Which is a small group of the populous. It would be cool if Jon didn't sign up with the DRM providers and kept with his mission of cracking DRM. If you could take your purchased iTunes or Windows marketplace (or whatever the fu*k they call it) songs and seamlessly drag and decrypt and add to said device, there you got a killer app. I don't think anyone in the biz is really worried about this. Note to Jon: get back to cracking the DRM on iTunes and you'll have much greater support.
When I first heard Jon had a new utility (after the stopped development of double helix) I thought great! I can take the DRM off of my songs and actually use them. No. It's just a bad version of iTunes syncing. At least this version provides for some devices but still. I got duped into the Apple DRM game and now I want my purchased music. Even the iTunes plus can't be converted to another format for my mp3 player. I spent cash on updating! WTF!
But I ramble... Jon, get back to your roots and make us a utility that actually frees our songs. Please.
I would on my own, but as you can see, I'm just a degenerate consumer.

I couldn't let this slip by-
I don't see how you can say that google are "useless", it just astounds me that you can make such a poorly founded, bias statement that lacks any research or understanding.
Google has double the financial rating that Apple does in the NASDAQ index and they have only been around for a little over 10 years! (Apple circa 1977)
Google is probably the worlds best software company, their services are used every day by almost everyone- how can this be a "useless" design?
Google is the opposite of useless, the companies software is use-endless.
Gah, how can you make such a statement?
Proving the old saying, "One stupid comment deserves another".
To set the record straight:
1) Google write great software and builds great technology platforms. This is my subjective opinion, yes, but you'll find many others who agree on this. Google's commodity hardware approach and super-intelligent platform management and distributed processing software allowed them to leapfrog from a garage business to the most powerful computing organization on Earth in less than a decade.
Also, the basic idea behind the Page Rank algorithm that made Google so much better at finding good web pages has now been incorporated into every other major search engine out there. So I think you could say they were onto something there.
2) Comparing spot prices on equities doesn't have anything to do with the quality of either company. It doesn't even have anything to do with the financial valuation, either. I hope you were joking, because that's a ludicrous claim to make.

I just hate burning my DRMed songs to CD and then rip them back as MP3s. But that's the only way to use them as MP3-data-CD - which is a very convenient and all-supported format on nearly every device nowadays.
Erm....
Symbian (mainly Nokia E & N Series) has over half the smartphone market - pretty much all of which have media players.
Sony Ericsson Phones are supported too, and PSP's
I found this on Wikipedia
(Palm pre's OS not included as it was launched in June 2009)
That's a fair chunk of the populous.

Pwned.
And thats just phones too. Double pwned.
LOL, apple evangelicals.....my god, so dense.
Unless doubletwist adds support for the Zune on Mac, I can't say I really care to even download their software.
