Earlier, I had wondered aloud whether Apple would duly provide free iTunes downloads of the speeches at the Republican National Convention, after their announcement of free availability of copies of their Democratic counterparts.
I was waiting to see Apple's periodic QuickTime newsletter to see what their plug for them might look like; but CapLion has no such patience:
iTunes users can download speeches from the Republican National Convention in the "New & Noteworthy" section under the Audiobooks category for free.
There was some speculation of whether they'd do this or not, as they did for the DNC speeches, but it looks like they did. Good for you, Apple.
Indeed. Though I still wonder what form the newsletter's mention will take. Will it match the earlier plug's glowing lines like "Last week in Boston, the Democratic National Convention radiated energy and new ideas" and "Amazingly, Ramirez used 10 Canon S60 digital cameras to simultaneously photograph a panoramic image"? Can Apple bring itself to play to those of their customers who prefer an Arnie speech to a Clinton one? That much remains to be seen...
