I mentioned that in the post, but didn't phrase it very well. I hadn't thought of the 'backlash' that way, but I can see your point. Since so many Apple 'zealots' will flock to bash and mock Real, it has (and will) draw more people to the site, making Real's campaign more effective. Heh.

Doesn't sound like a big deal now, but it will make a lot of noise. The other which I didn't allude to is that much of the 'backlash' is mostly just noise from fanatics who don't really count that much in the grand scheme of mindshare, in fact I don't think they really realize they're helping Real by creating more of a horse race with their shenanigans. :) It’s also worth noting two things, one of which alluded to and one which I didn’t; every user they get using the iPod with their store is going to be one which is going to be really pissed at Apple for intentionally breaking the functionality with a firmware update.
