Music bundled free to entice those users who may want to browse & buy tracks for more unlimited use. Sounds perfectly legit, a win for consumers & an opportunity for distributors to reach wider audiences. Get something for nothing & still ppl have a beef or complain?

Read the article much? "The tracks can be played on the handset, or any other Slotradio enabled handset"

I can't say I'm a fan of the concept either though.

Then give us what we want.

Make it cheap, make is easy, and make it stylish for the easily led and weak of ego apple-mob ;-)

"An earlier attempt by the company to sell music albums on SD cards as alternatives to CDs has not exactly swept the world.

Here is the answer to why:

"But the company argues that new business models can be enabled by the fact that a microprocessor with encryption software can be put onto a card to police its use."

They should consider just putting something like .flac files on there, wich the user could do what they want with. Such as add to their computer media library etc.

Do people really want to have music files that are bound to one specific device?

Its also deceiving people because I'm sure they won't put it in big letters that you can only listen to it with the device you just bought and you lose it the moment it's broken.
