Apple iPhone Even More In A League Of Its Own (AAPL)

Apple iPhone Even More In A League Of Its Own (AAPL)

Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone 3G S, announced today, doesn't look much different than the iPhone 3G that Apple announced a year ago. But it doesn't need to. It's what's inside that counts, and what puts it further ahead of competitors, including Palm's recently released Pre.
For instance, many phones offer video recording. But how many phones have incredible, free, simple, built-in editing tools? And yes, many of Apple's rivals have offered voice dialing for years. But do other phones let you ask what song is playing -- or tell it to switch to a different album?
This isn't about a list of features or specs. It's about getting people to do things with their phones that they've never done before. (And millions of people -- not just nerdy early adopters like us.)

The first iPhone got people to use the Web, music, and video much more on their iPhones than any other phone. The iPhone 3G did that for mobile apps and location-based features. Now Apple is making video and voice controls something that normal people can get behind. (And we can only imagine what kind of neat accessories are going to start rolling out now that third-party devices can talk to the iPhone.)

The competition is nowhere in sight.

Apple to expand DRM-free iTunes content, revise pricing

Apple to expand DRM-free iTunes content, revise pricing

(Source: Free Mobile Content)
Macworld rumor du jour: Apple will announce a series of new licensing deals that will expand its catalog of DRM-free iTunes downloads across all four major record labels--in addition, the computing giant will also embrace a more flexible iTunes pricing structure. CNet reports that Apple has inked deals with Sony BMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group to offer iTunes downloads free of digital rights management protections--the agreements follow close to two years after Apple announced a similar deal with the fourth major, EMI Music. Per terms of that agreement, iTunes introduced DRM-free EMI content at a higher-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding for a premium $1.29 per-song price tag, but as CNet points out, the EMI catalog accounts for less than 10 percent of all music sold in the U.S.

In conjunction with the new label agreements, Apple will reportedly trim the cost of catalog music to 79 cents per song, down from the current 99 cents for each DRM-encoded track. CNet adds labels will now be given the flexibility to price some current chart blockbusters for more than 99 cents, but as those songs lose steam at radio and retail, their prices will fall back to the new 79 cents standard as well. The report adds Apple will also confirm the availability of over-the-air iTunes downloads, an announcement rumored since version 2.2 of the iPhone software appeared in late 2008: Citing leaked screenshots depicting an iPhone user downloading a podcast from iTunes via 3G connection, pundits have speculated that Apple would sooner or later activate an iTunes premium music download application as well
