Apple made two important announcements yesterday regarding music on the iPhone: one was iTunes going DRM-free; the other was the ability to download music tracks straight on to your iPhone over 3G.

We tested downloading tracks to an iPhone over a 3G connection last night and found you can download a single track in around a minute or a full album in about 10 minutes. The service works well, but there are a few issues.

The first issue is that you can only download tracks if you have an Edge or 3G connection: GPRS won't work. The second thing, discovered by our music guru Nate Lanxon, is that you can't download tracks that are over 10MB.

I thought this was a great article. G1 phone, iPhone or Blackberry. Has a personal touch that I think most phone / technology lovers can relate to. A not too technical review of which of these mobile big guns is better for business use.
