Many 3G devices on many carriers can download music and such over the air, but for EDGE devices like the iPhone this is a little less practical.

NBC exec criticises iTunes pricing, anti-piracy security
When NBC started making conciliatory gestures toward Apple back in January it looked as thought the network's TV shows might soon be back on iTunes. Of course, that hasn't happened, and the two companies are still arguing over how media is priced and whether Apple is using, as many analysts suspect, iTunes as a loss-leader to pull in new iPod buyers.

Back when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone SDK, he told excited developers that the only applications Apple wouldn't be permitting through the AppStore were those illegal or pornographic. Now that some of the dust has settled - and those 100,000+ coders sitting down in front of the SDK! - questions are being asked about just how accurate that statement was. While it's open-season for mobile entertainment software such as games, ... continued »

Apple Russia caught up in PR nightmare
In a turn of events that almost seems too bizarre to be true, Russian journalist and 14-year Mac user Alex Patsay has written an open letter to Apple PR following what sounds to be a disastrous launch event in Moscow. According to Patsay, Apple has added a 75-percent markup on iPods in Russia - taking a 16GB iPod Touch to the equivalent of $710 - and priced the MacBook Air ... continued »

NBC suggest Apple iTunes reunion might be coming soon
Having yanked their content from iTunes after arguing with Apple over the prices charged for video - and accusing the company of slashing the cost of shows such as The Office and Scrubs so as to promote iPod sales - NBC are now apparently close to making up. In a Financial Times report about network CEO Jeff Zucker, the NBC head-honcho suggests working relationships are beginning to be patched up:
Mr Zucker appears to have patched up relations with Apple ... continued »
