iPhone 3G

The much awaited iPhone finally hits the market today and its price has been a huge turn off for most of the Indians like me. While the iPhone in India remains a snob appeal I would like to be happy with my new iPod.

Apparently Tuaw.com an unofficial Apple weblog seems to have received a bit of information from an anonymous person. He claims that the late September Apple event may just prove to be a delight for Apple lovers. One of the best things that they might announce is unlimited iTunes.

iTunes

Since the unlimited iTunes service might have brought a smile on your face let me tell you that the cost for unlimited iTunes s will be $129 (Rs. 5,418 @ 1$=Rs.42) for a year or $179 (Rs.7, 518 @ 1$=Rs.42) if combined with MobileMe. You will then get full access to high quality digital music. Moreover, there would be an option of “buy and keep” the track which would replace the subscription version of a song with a downloaded version.

Hey, wait a minute this offer does not excite me. I can buy and keep the music for a year? What happens after that? What if I wish to listen to the music after a year? Moreover, when I am able to download music, movies, applications and more stuff for free from various websites and applications like Lime Wire and Ares why should I even think about getting unlimited iTunes at a certain price. I guess Apple really need to re think about this strategy if in case they wish to make iTunes free.

What do you guys think about it?

Well the reason why you’d rather use this service is that its actually legal, as opposed to limewire etc. Moreover, I’d imagine that its far more convenient, given that you’d have a bigger library to choose from, assured quality, and faster downloads.
