Comments Off on Variable pricing on iTunes already generating more revenue for record labels
At Macworld 2009, Phil Schiller announced that Apple would for the first time allow record labels to begin implementing variable pricing on the iTunes Music Store. Instead of a blanket 99 cent price point, record labels would now have the option to charge $1.29 for more popular songs and $0.69 for less popular tracks. Variable […]

Comments Off on iTunes servers strain under demand for new iPhone OS 3.0
In what’s becoming somewhat of a tradition, Apple’s servers are having a hard time coping with the demand for the new iPhone OS 3.0 update that was released earlier today. ArsTechnica reports: According to several reports, the iPhone OS 3.0 update is slow to download for many users. However, after the update installs, the phone […]

Wednesday, June 17, 2009
In a clear message to Palm, Apple yesterday put up a support doc noting future iTunes updates might break compatibility with third-party media players such as the Palm Pre.

Usually, it’s Apple’s advertising that gets a lot of buzz and attention, but now an ad posted on the outside of an Apple Store in San Francisco has become the center of attention.. at least for nerds. If you recall, we’ve made reference to a character by the name of ‘DVD Jon’ a few times […]

With the Palm Pre hitting select stores tomorrow, Jon Jonansen, who you might know better as DVD John, gave us some more information on how exactly the Pre is able to sync up with iTunes. As I speculated in my previous blog post on Palm Pre Sync and now confirmed by the image above, when […]

Thursday, June 4, 2009
Last week we reported that the upcoming Palm Pre can sync with iTunes, a move which we labled as “terribly shortsighted” on the part of Palm. After all, Apple can presumably issue an iTunes software update which would effectively prevent iTunes from recognizing the Pre, leaving Palm customers confused and annoyed in the process. But […]

Thursday, May 28, 2009
The upcoming Palm Pre will seamlessly connect with iTunes, according to a report from Fortune. Third party programs that perform the same service for various non-Apple MP3 players — including the Palm Treo and 700p – have been available for some time. But team Pre has apparently built the necessary code right into the device’s […]
