iTunes Match, iPhone Battery Update, BOD Changes

Apple took iTunes Match live this week. The new service allows iTunes users to store their entire music collection on Apple servers and then access it from any desktop or iOS device. The service only uploads songs not available in the iTunes store, simply giving you access to the iTunes store versions of others. The result is all of your music appears to be “in the cloud” and accessible anywhere. It is only available in the U.S. for now, and costs $25 per year. You can find out more about iTunes match in this episode.
Apple issued a minor update to iOS 5 that fixed battery issues for a number of iPhone users. However, some are still complaining of problems and rumors are circulating that another update is coming soon. In addition, a larger update with new Siri features may be arriving shortly as well.
Apple filled out its board of directors this will with the addition of Disney CEO Bob Iger and the appointment of Arthur Levinson as the Chairman.
