Apple makes it official: $3 BEEELLION for Beats

Personally I would have thought Monster were a better fit in terms of hardware but I guess they don't have a online music store presence.

Whats really interesting is suddenly Apple now makes apps for Windows phone (Try getting Google to do that) and Android!

From The Inq:

Apple has confirmed weeks of speculation, announcing that it has agreed to acquire Beats Electronics for $3bn.

The company on Wednesday issued a formal announcement revealing a deal which will see the House that Steve Built shell out $2.6bn in cash and an additional $400m in payments that will vest over time to bring Dr Dre and company on board. The final price was slightly lower than the $3.2bn figure which circulated when word of the deal first broke in May.

Beats Music will still be available on Android and Windows Phone after the deal, @Tim_Cook tells @FT. "It’s all about music." Story @FT soon

Amazon Prime to incorporate what was Lovefilm and become Prime Instant Video.

£50 for a year of unlimited streaming and free 1 day parcel delivery from Amazon... Not bad.

If your already a Prime customer you'll be upgraded automatically.

Wonder if they will be expanding the catalogue further as it doesn't really compare to Netflix or NowTV.

Could a new Star Trek series be happening exclusively on Xbox Live?

Totally a rumour mill article but it'd an interesting one. The tactic has certainly worked for Netflix and in an ever increasing market its becoming difficult to complete unless you have a major pulling factor to grab subscribers away from other services.

Netflix drops Silverlight, moves to HTML5- The Inquirer

Guessing other services will follow swiftly once the DRM is properly sorted (Now TV, Sky go). Look out for browser updates to support "HTML5 Premium Video Extensions"
