There is life outside the iPhone.
There's the iTunes Store.
iTunes is now selling select whole albums from indie bands at much lower rates
of US$5.99 and US$6.99 in the Next Big Thing section. Some of
them are even DRM-free iTunes Plus tracks. (Clicking on this <
a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewCustomPage?name=p
ageNextBigThing">link will open up your iTunes app and take you online to t
he Store's NBT page.)
In the spirit of democratizing music and allowing access to excellent indie ban
ds and giving these bands a crack at getting somewhere, Apple'
s move is commendable. That said, when the heck are you opening up the store to
our region of the world? *grumble*
