The Motley Fool - Yesterday, I wrote about how everyone and their neighbor seems to gunning for a slice of Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) iPod and iTunes business. And while I still believe it's possible for News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS - News) MySpace, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - News), and Sony (NYSE: SNE - News) to erode some of Apple's market share for downloadable music, I don't expect the company to passively stand by as revenues drop.

The Motley Fool - War has been declared. Not the conventional type with the troops, tanks, and smart bombs, but an entertainment war for the &#36;3 billion global music player business. Creative Technology (Nasdaq: CREAF - News) has decided to move in against the giant Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) in an attempt to capture a 40% market share for MP3 music players. In the three years since the iPod's launch, it has become the worldwide player of choice, claiming about 85% of the market, so to call this an uphill fight is something of an understatement.
