CAN APPLE CONTINUE DIGITAL MUSIC DOMINANCE?

Apple currently has about a 75% market share in the digital music player market with its successful iPod series, and is the dominant digital music provider with its iTunes service selling nearly one billion downloads per year. Competition ranging from the SanDisk Sansa E280 to the Microsoft Zune digital music players, and MTV's Urge , upstart Spiral Frog, and a myriad of other music download and subscription services (Napster, Ruckus, and Yahoo! Music, to name but a few), threaten to topple the Apple digital music dominance and cash cow.
