iPhone getting iTunes music store

Apple today announced that they are adding Wi-Fi access to their iTunes music store, a feature that was initially demonstrated on their knew iPhone-like iPod Touch device. This application will be available later this month as part of a free update and will allow users to purchase iTunes music and download it directly to their device. In addition Apple announced a partnership with Starbucks that allows you to purchase music currently playing at the store via a tab that appears only when you are in the store. We assume that this is handled via the Wi-Fi hotspots that are ubiquitious at Starbucks stores, although we have to admit we feel a little weird about the though of Starbucks and our iPhone communicating to each other automatically. More details will be posted as we hear of them.

Update: It seems that you will be given free Wi-Fi access at Starbucks to browse the iTunes store. But this may not apply to web browsing via Safari or other data services. The rollout will begin on October 2nd in New York and Seattle, and expected to be deployed nationwide by the end of 2008.
