I think Jobs was just buttering him up to get Sony to sell their music on itunes. If Apple does let another electronics company make their own clone of the ipod it would be Sony (sticking an HP emblem on Apple ipod doesn't count as a clone IMHO).

The "truth" won't set anyone free unless it's delivered with a message of "hope" and "redemption". To find whats wrong in the world and point out flaws is easy, but to find what is good and true is much more difficult.
