More on iTunes 4.9
Great insight our dedicated user Stu:
iTunes 4.9, will be released at the end of next week about a month ahead of schedule according to the spy sites. It looks, to me, like Apple wants to put together its own XM Radio using podcasts. Perhaps, that's one of the reasons they've been so resistant to an XM/ipod product. On the other hand, the XM2Go is truly a piece of junk - technologically flawed.Looks to me like their trying to corner the content while podcasting is flying under the radar. I did a fellowship at my local PBS station a number of years ago working on digital rights issues. They realized all those great PBS documentaries hadn't anticipated the digital world and the original producers had retained the digital rights. It was quite a mess. In part, that allowed for the rise of the Discovery Channel. Obtaining content is the key.
