trapped in the paperless, wireless, timeless and spaceless office

A few weeks ago we got iTunes on the iPhone so we can download any song we want over the air. Kewl!

I bet the Adbusters guys must be really happy with this impulse purchase temptation right on the palm of our hand!

But it doesn’t stop here. A while ago there were some rumors about iTunes booths on Starbucks so customers could download via WiFi their favorite songs. Well it got actually way better (or worse) than that. Consider the following scenario:

You’re sitting in a Starbucks and you hear a song. You fire up your iTunes app on your laptop or on your iPhone and “boom” there comes the artwork for the current song plus the ten previous ones. One click or one tap and the song is yours forever (and your dollar is Apple’s).

Check Apple’s info on the matter.

The system could be generalized to any web based radio station or broadcasting platform for the matter opening new marketing opportunities in the music distribution arena. I bet Steve is on the job already.
