Steve Jobs Reads My Blog...


Looks like someone from Apple reads my blog. On May 21, I posted the following right here on Blog-Fontenot:

StarTunes or iBucks...

Living a good 30 miles from the office, I work alot from my friendly neighborhood Starbucks. I use their wifi via the wonders of T-Mobile. The welcome web page allows you to download different Starbucks "mixes" from iTunes. But wouldn't it be cool if there was a pop window that displayed, in real time, the actual songs playing in the store, and you had the option to purchase that song from iTunes in real time. Hmmm....


Last week Apple announces their new "Starbucks Wifi Music Store". From the announcement:

"Say you’re in line at Starbucks. You hear this amazing song wafting from the speakers. You gotta have it. Now. Tap the iTunes button on your iPhone or iPod touch, tap the Starbucks button, and voilĂ : You see the current song, the last 10 songs played, and featured Starbucks Collections. Preview, buy, and download whatever you like, right then and there. Or, if you’re sipping away with your laptop, buy what’s playing — exclusively on iTunes."

Mr Jobs, please, in lieu of any royalties, feel free to contact me about where to send my free 16 Gb iPod Touch.
