This will never be an iTunes killer, because the install base is not going to compete with the number of iPods out there. Making it DRM-free makes it attractive though. If you really want people to stop stealing music, make it so easy to buy songs and discover new songs that the alternative becomes a hassle. For instance, if my phone knew what I like and kept introducing me to new stuff, and I could buy it right then with one click on my cell phone/music player like Dash Media is doing www.dashmediausa.com, well then you got me sold.
You are wrong. Here are the reasons why PlayNow Arena will be an iTunes-killer:
*PlayNow arena features a format playable on all portable devices and Computers. No special applications needed, the files are simply 320kbps mp3-files. No special programs of "Itunes-style" is needed.
*PlayNow will feature an unlimited "all-you-can-eat"-service which allows unlimited access to DRM-free music for a monthly fee, so big consumers does not have to pay 1$ per song.
*PlayNow offers music from all big record labels, DRM-free, which means no restrictions, you get any music you want, you can reuse it how you want, and it's legal.
The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays.
