I was thinking more for a music point of view. How many users could Apple win over into the ecosystem just by letting you sync your iTunes library with your Android phone? I'm thinking a lot.

I don't know. Can I buy music from iTunes without installing some bullshit beachhead on my computer for Apple to push QuickSlime and Slowfari onto me?

Amazon MP3 works flawlessly. Who needs iTunes?

I'm sure that, to Apple, the more relevant question is: How many iOS device users would they lose by letting you sync iTunes library with your Android phone?

I'd guess a lot, but even if that's wrong, it takes hundreds of incremental music sales to offset the loss of just one iPhone sale.
