RealNetworks cuts prices in half, sells a million tunes

Trash them all you want, but RealNetworks says that they've managed to sell a million music downloads since they cut their prices in half to just 49 cents a song and $4.99 per album last week. We don't exactly see Apple shaking in their boots over either this or Real's recent moves to hack the iPod so that music downloaded from their Rhapsody online music store will play on the iPod, but at least it'll make it a bit tougher for Apple to justify raising the current 99 cents they're charging for downloads.
