More iPod Innovation
|
The CNET story cited by Solveig notes:
The slow shift in MP3's role is part of an ongoing change in the digital-music industry, with the focus moving slowly away from the anarchic file-swapping networks and toward money-making stores and services such as Apple's iTunes Music Store. This nicely tees up a story from Forbes (subscription required) reporting that Apple and the group U2 have agreed to a special edition of black iPods that come preloaded with U2's latest album, plus some oldies. iTunes will also get an exclusive on the new album for a time.
Meanwhile, Bose is advertising a docking station that turns the iPod into a living-room quality player.
Note, please, that all these are profit-making efforts. As usual, money is the mother's milk of progress.
