I recently wrote about growing disenchantment with Apple and its products. Well, that unhappiness continues to grow, and the angst is moving beyond the iPhone to the iPod, other Apple products, and Apple’s way of doing business.

Take this recent blog entry from a former rabid fan, for instance. Jason Calacanis has just about had it with Steve Jobs and Co., and isn’t shy about listing his complaints. He says that Apple is displaying anti-competitive, monopolistic practices (does that sound like any technology company you’ve heard of — maybe one that was sued by the U.S. Department of Justice?), stifling innovation in MP3 players, banning other browsers and Google Voice from the iPhone, and other transgressions.

And he asks, with considerable justification, what would happen to Microsoft if it did similar things? Why does Apple get a pass? Because it’s a cool company? That’s not going to work much longer. Apple needs to change its business practices, and soon. If not, it could be facing legal troubles similar to its hated rival, Microsoft.
