I consider Apple to be the king of proprietary products. I have never purchased an Apple product and never will. Special cables and adapters, sealed batteries, no removable SD cards, proprietary music file formats, etc. I remember when a company designed a portable video viewer that would allow the user to plug in an Apple IPod and watch videos on a larger screen using the IPod's video output feature. Apple immediately redesigned the IPod to disable the video output, thus rendering the third party product unusable.
