  Another example of Apple enabling the Internet Singularity. The news that car audio manufacturers will implement a "Tag-it" button that can download tags to an attached iPod which will then line up those songs for purchase when the iPod is synced.

  This demonstrates the wisdom of Apple working with car audio manufacturers. While it looks like the feature will be targeted at tagging songs the possiblities are enormous. This could provide a boost to talk radio. Imagine if you are going to miss the end of a show because you have arrived at your destination. What if you could tag the show and download the podcast to finish listening later.

  Once again Apple is enbling the ecosystem and each expansion of that ecosystem makes it less and less sensible for the music labels, tv networks and movie studios to abandon that ecosystem.
