AT&T Deal With eMusic Excludes iPhones

ubermiester writes "ArsTechnica reports that AT&T has inked a deal with eMusic, a direct competitor to Apple's iTunes music store. eMusic specializes in independent artists and offers DRM-free content for direct download. For a monthly fee (the number of tracks one can download per month depends on the package) the site's catalog will be available to AT&T customers using Samsung and Nokia handsets, but not the iPhone."

    Why pay 8.00 for five DRM scarred songs that only only intented to be used on a single device from itunes when you can buy the same 5 songs outright for about the same amount from this service?

    Fixed that for you.

    What's the opposite of a fanboy? Just as rabid and uninformed and loud, just a detractor? We need a word...

    "GuywhoreallywantsaniPhonebutdoesnthave$600." You know, it took me a good 30 seconds before I figured out what that was supposed to say. I kept reading "Guy whore ally wants..." and thinking it didn't make any sense!
