Apple Acquires Zayante

pinqkandi writes "Apple purchased Zayante, a big name in the FireWire/i.Link/IEEE 1394 community. Apple hopes to increase its FireWire presence with this purchase, or, in their own words, 'By acquiring Zayante, Apple is extending its commitment to FireWire as the premiere, high-speed digital interface solution.' Interestingly enough, Zayante works a great deal with Windows FireWire integration ... Windows-compatible iPod anyone?"

Apple is going for a firewire monopoly. If a drive manufacturer did this with IDE or SCSI, we would be up in arms. But apple users are used to dealing with the apple proprietary hardware monopoly, and no one else cares.

Long live USB 2.0, the open standard.

Thank you SOOOOO much! 5% of the desktop market and STILL DROPPING, and these bucket heads seem to over run Slashdot. You would think they have 90% market share, but the only market they seem to have cornered is the market on suckers.
