Real networks has found yet another way to piss off Steve Jobs.... heh. They've just released software which makes it possible to listen to Real-encoded music on iPods; something that Apple has been trying to avoid. Anybody remember the Firewire patent fiasco?

"The new Harmony software, which RealNetworks said mimics the proprietary copy protection used in Apple's iTunes store, is sure to be controversial. Apple has previously refused to provide licenses to companies seeking iPod compatibility, and RealNetworks did not seek permission before releasing its own version of iPod-friendly software."
