in Thinking Apple’s iTunes Genius is not really that smart on atmaspheric endeavors
Personally, I like that Apple have kept it separate. This may be just me, but I'm only in the mood for 'new' music even few days, most of the time I just want to set the mood and let iTunes provide me with a couple of hours worth of something similar. Genius playlists do this well.

I wouldn't say that 'Subscription music is infinitely more flexible', but it certainly has its place and I'd love to see Apple offer a music subscription model.

As for Nokia, they might like to add device streaming and Mac support before they attempt to second guess my next purchase!

Sadly, I think that device streaming is 6 months or more away, and Mac support will probably not happen before the Nokia Music Store disappears altogether. :(

in The iPhone arrives tomorrow: I don’t like it already. on Mobile Industry Review
The iPhone is a fun device, but most of that fun comes from using it as a TV (BBC iPlayer), a radio (again BBC, but also Tuner, a cool Internet radio app), for music playback, Web browsing and gaming (I recommend Bejeweled, Bubble Bash and CritterCrunch).

Based on your previous posts and your general phone usage I'm not convinced that you'll like the iPhone. However, if you start using it as more of a supplement to your regular PC and less like a 3200 you may find that there is quite a bit to like.

One other thing... I know it sounds dead boring - and yes the video is kind of cheesy - but Apple's iPhone introduction video is the best way to learn many of it's functions;
