There are still a very few tunes on the ITMS which don't seem to be DRM free; I have one, apparently, 'Glen Island Special' by Glenn Miller, which doesn't seem to be upgradeable to iTunes+, or at least not yet. But then remember the history. Without DRM at the start, they wouldn't have been able to reach agreement with the music publishers, so I'm glad they did it. I've never had the slightest problem with their DRM, but I've still bought the DRM-free, higher quality upgrades of my iTunes library at 20p a pop. An indulgence, I guess. -- Peter

I have been prejudiced under a misapprehension all this time! D'oh. Thankfully I'm the type to learn from that. Cheers - Jaimie -- "I have an asteroid named after me. Isaac Asimov's got one too.

The impressive part was the way the music publishers *required* Apple to lock customers into the iTunes ecosystem. -- Chris

Android uses webkit for it's browser and has flash support coming soon. Chrome and Safari (both developed deom webkit too) have flash support, so obviously flash can be made to work with webkit based browsers. |
