Journey down the DRM-free Amazon: Amazon launched Amazon MP3 yesterday, the first online store to offer all of its songs without the restrictions of DRM. The new iTunes competitor is offering more than half of its songs for $.89. It's a bargain music shoppers dream. Songs are compatible with the iPod and iPhone.

 

Apple, we need to see your papers: A California judge will order Apple to turn over meeting minutes and related records pertaining to stock option accounting. Apple will turn the documents over to a shareholder named the Boston Retirement Board.

 

iPhone money machine: The three European operators who won the exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in their respective countries may have to repay Apple up to 30 percent of their revenues. None of the companies involved have commented on the speculation.

 

Apple Store remodel: The Apple online store got a facelift last night. Check out the new blue color scheme and purchase an iPod for your favorite Mac-centric website. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

 

Super secret Newton plans: Is Apple planning to re-release the Newton? Appleinsider thinks so. Jobs isn't really a fan of the PDA in general so, we're not holding our breath.
