There are rumors that Apple is currently in negotiations with major record labels to discuss a new option that would give customers unlimited downloads from the iTunes music store. You would only get the unlimited download option if you paid a premium price for an iPod or iPhone. The idea is not only great for customers but would also help Apple as well since Apple does not make as much money from its song sales as it does from its hardware. I would be willing to pay a reasonable $50-$100 more for an iPod if it allowed me free access to all that iTunes has to offer. I would probably look at the higher capacity 160GB iPod since I would be able to download all that I want.
Apple is supposedly looking at offering subscriptions for its iPhone customers. Since the iPhone has a monthly plan, the subscription would just be added onto your wireless bill. While this is a good idea for iPhone users, I hope Apple will be able to come up with a subscription service for its iPod customers as well. The subscription service might be a good option if they are unable to agree with music labels about the unlimited download option discussed above. It might also be a good option for those customers who already have an iPod and are not willing to upgrade just yet.
