iTunes Subscription May be a Real Bargain
Some anonymous rumors said that Apple will introduce an iTunes subscription service in September.
MacDailyNews, MacRumors and The Unofficial Apple Weblog are all reporting about a tip saying something about a $129-a-year iTunes service that would piggyback on Apple’s MobileMe service (for a iTunes/MobileMe combo, a user would have to pay $179).
So, if we are talking about subscription services, iTunes could be a killer for the other companies. Zune Pass, Rapsody to Go or Napster are all around $179 for a one year subscription and they don’t work with Apple Ipod. eMusic the only one that works with Ipods, and the only one that is less expensive ($143 per year) has no unlimited download plan, only 30 downloads per month.
So, I’d say the iTunes subscription could be the next big thing Apple has to offer, it will work with iPods, iPhones, iTouchs and with any other mp3 player device.
