Pandora, Last.fm, Grooveshark live to breathe another day. The recent shutdown of Lala streaming service signaled the possibility of an Apple equivalent service being launched in the form of iTunes.com. That investment however seem to require more development time before it will bear fruit. I bet Apple is having a hell of a time to negotiate international rights to all of the media they want to stream out of their new data centre.

I hope Pandora capitalize on this situation and launch internationally. Canadians have been drooling over it for a long time now. It’d be nice to get some music on demand from licensed sources.

Does this make any sense to you? The new iPod touch will come in 3 sizes: 8GB, 32GB, and 64GB. But at $229, why would anybody even buy the 8GB? And where is the 16GB? What’s with the huge gap? Why even make the 8GB in the first place?!

It should have been 16GB, 32GB and 64GB at those prices. Come on Apple, the new enclosure can’t cost that much!

Let’s see what we have here: bug fixes, HDR (OMG), 720p video upload (been available to jailbreakers for a while now), TV show rentals (is this a pre-amble to what’s later to come out of the Apple event today?) and Game Center.

The HDR is being demoed on stage right now and it’s pretty awesome. 1 key press will trigger 3 shutters and the OS will automatically create the HDR image. I wish my DSLR does this!

More to come as the day passes.
