Major news which could very well spell the end of Noika, Motorola,
Samsung, LG and on and on... especially within the very non-competitive
Cell Market. It looks like the iPhone has scored a massive hit, not only
in record sales but by the people that own the content.
"Nobody wants to use an "non-ipod" in their Phones, we all know that,
but now the leading content company says the same thing is going to
happen to all other MEDIA types."
Wow!
From Time Warner's Chief:
"You need to look no further than Apple's iPhone to see how fast,
brilliantly written software presented on a beautifully designed device
with a spectacular user interface will throw all the accepted notions
about pricing, billing platforms and brand loyalty right out the window.
And let me remind you, the genesis of the iPhone is the iPod and iTunes
- a music device and music service that consumers love."
Quote from --- CEO Edgar Bronfman, Head of Warner Music
Wow What a SMART GUY!

I agree...WOW...how could anyone make such an all encompassing
outlandish statement.

So you're saying that if you don't have pay into iTunes, you won't get
your music. Golly, and here I always thought MS was the most closed company.

iTunes is free, much of the content on the iTunes Store is 100%% free.
Apple uses open standards on iTunes, MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AACit also
has the largest non-protected music selection on earth.

there are a lot of free songs on there, 10,000's of free podcasts,
videos, audiobooks, college courses, sports, news, radio, etc....
only some iTunes songs have DRM required by the record companies, but
plenty of them no longer do.
itunes has over 6,000,000 songs, the largest online library in the world.
2,000,000 of them are free of DRM and of higher quality than other music
stores and just .99 cents.
