iTunes Shutdown Scare Officially Over, Officially Dumb

The National Music Publishers Board didn't get their request to the Copyright Royalty Board for a larger cut of digital music sales, putting a definitive end to a miniature media crisis over the "possible" shutdown of iTunes. Apple threw a minor shit-fit over the prospective hike last year, insinuating that they might not be able to continue business if they were "no longer able to do so profitably" (what business sense!), after which the British press decided that music was going to go away forever, or something. In any case, iTunes' profitability was never really at stake, Apple wasn't actually planning to shut down the largest music retailer in the US, and the press needs to calm down. [BBC]

T-Mobile To Get Google Android Phone First - HTC Dream with Android to be officially announced in September

Though a number of blogs earlier this week stated the exact same thing, the New York Times today confirms that T-Mobile will be the first wireless carrier to sell a Google OS-based phone starting this fall.

It's still a bit strange that Google's wireless broadband centric OS is debuting on the least developed of all third generation carrier networks (T-Mobile's HSDPA network has only so far been deployed in NYC and Las Vegas).
