Slicing up the 'Apple' pie

When you think of "downloading music legally", it seems like the first name that comes to mind is iTunes. Apple's had an enormous influence with the integration of their iPods and accompanying iTunes software, so enormous that a lot of people skip trekking out to the local music store and instead buy an album right through the iTunes store.

Now, though, it looks like Best Buy, Real and Sandisk are jumping in on the action. Who knows what it'll mean for Apple--perhaps it will quash the competition, perhaps it'll be taken down. Personally, I doubt that last bit. Apple seems to have a nice slice of the American music pie; I doubt that it'll settle being the leftovers.
