Samsung readies rival digital music service to iTunes. Gearing up to compete with MS' Zune too IFA 06 Samsung is to take the digital music fight to Apple by launching its own song download service in the UK, France and Germany, the South Korean giant revealed today. Details of the service remain scarce, but we can say it will be operated by digital music distributor MusicNet, which also powers Virgin Digital, HMV, Yahoo!, iMesh and others.âo[oe] [The Register] comment []12:54:35 PM

Is Apple Nuts? $14.99!...Movie Downloads on iTunes in 2 Weeks; New iPod??. I wonder if the $14.99 would allow you to keep the Movie or if it's a 'timed' service. The announcement is expected by mid-September, with prices of $14.99 for new releases and $9.99 for older movies. I would have to guess is that there would have to be a new hardware product to go with such an announcement too. [digg / Technology] comment []11:32:38 AM
