Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
Yahoo! has announced that it will be shutting down it’s DRM (Digital Rights Management) servers on September 30. As a result, all music purchased from Yahoo! Music will no longer be able to transfer to computers or devices they are currently on. This all goes with Yahoo’s migration of services to the Rhapsody music service.
The move isn’t all that bad, however. Yahoo has announced that it will “compensate” anyone who has bought DRM music files though Yahoo! Music. The company will give reimbursements on a case-by-case basis. These reimbursements can either be through repayment of the money spent for the files, or through MP3 files without DRM that will play on any computer or device. It’d be nice if the customer can choose on a file-by-file basis, so you can be refunded for the album you thought you’d like, but hated after finally listening to the full thing a few times.
For customers of Yahoo! Music, the service will be transferred over to Rhapsody which offers “the same service at a similar price.”
