O2 slashes iPhone Prices: UK mobile provider, O2 will officially cut the price of the 8GB iPhone by £100 ($197) to the low, low price of £169 ($333). iPhone owners who purchased their device in the past 30 days will get a voucher for £100. This news almost cements the rumors of the 8GB iPhone being phased for either a larger capacity iPhone or the much anticipated 3G iPhone.

 

Amazon is no match for iTunes: Amazon's cheaper, DRM-free tracks are barely a blip on the iTunes market share radar. According to research group NPD, Amazon's service is growing but not at the expense of the iTunes Store. Only 10 percent of AmazonMP3 shoppers in February are iTunes shoppers.

 

Apple TV update out: Apple TV has been updated. Don't blink, you might miss the new features. For example, fast forward and rewind have been improved and the Flickr feature will now show the favorite photos of your contacts.

 

Bejeweled is back: Bejeweled is back in the iTunes Store. The new version is ready for the latest iPod nanos and classics as well as the fifth-generation iPods.
