iTunes Plus is live

media, news, society,nerd,personal | Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

this is the project i’ve been workin like crazy on the past few months. it’s finally live!

as of now, there are 521 news articles about “iTunes Plus” on Google News. from the NY Times: “The Apple iTunes store, the largest seller of music downloads, began selling tracks from EMI Music yesterday without any restrictions on copying, for a slightly higher price than usual, $1.29 instead of 99 cents. To sweeten the deal, those tracks have better sound, with a bitrate of 256 kilobits per second (kbps), up from the standard 128 kbps. Apple has gone so far as to say that this results “in audio quality indistinguishable from the original recording.””

this article from 7:40am this morning was eerily accurate (do we have a rat?): iTunes team pulling all-nighter removing DRM

here’s the apple.com homepage today:
iTunes Plus launch, 5/30/07

simple reasons why the iphone might succeed

nerd | Thursday, May 24th, 2007

- every phone i’ve used the past few years has had an mp3 player built into it, yet i never used any of them as my music player

- i couldn’t plug my regular, everyday headphones into any of them.

- they all had web browsers, yet the browsing experience was always painful and not useful

- they all had horrendous fonts, ringtones, wallpapers and color schemes.

- the disjointed user experience is part OS (Microsoft), part handset manufacturer (Motorola), part carrier (Verizon).

those are the failings of the current phone companies that left this big gaping hole for apple to enter the market…without even getting into the features of the iphone.

i’ve started seeing this email signature…i suspect it’ll become pretty common:
