As for the music sales, the music companies should be happy with whatever they get, talk about gouging consumers. Yea I agree I hate Itunes and won’t use it.

I hope they relaunch with a better store front then gBox.com. I am really hoping Universal/Google make a good run at this and it needs a Podcatching client so I can fire iTunes and delete it.

They are just creating an opportunity to have the exact same model with Apple for iTunes, and at the same time getting profits also from Universal's content sales. The catalog differences of gBox and iTunes even match that plan well. This is a great move from Google.

And if Universal is so hell-bent on finding lots of providers to distribute this new service, why not make iTunes one of those venues? For those of us with Macs, iPods, and/or iPhones, the integration is convenient. If the new DRM-free files are 128kbps MP3s, I think I’ll pay the extra $0.30 for 256kbps AAC.

If you read the whole sentence, it says, There (gBox) songs will cost 99 cents, referring to the store as a place, not to the songs as a possession. @Josh: “There” is not a typo.

Plus, itunes has very high quality music, lets see how the gbox music sounds. This may work, but people won’t just leave itunes because gbox sells songs 30 cents less.

The only DRMed movie I have that still works is Zoolander that I got free from AOL last year. And Google couldn't come up with a solution beyond a $2 with strings attached settlement. Bogus.
