Unlike most HTC devices nowadays, the S740 does not sport a touchscreen display, mind you, at 2.4", you couldsay it's not necessary for the displayto be touch-sensitive.

A non-touchscreen device could be a welcome addition for some. The S740 also features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, as well as a standard numeric phone keypad. The S743 will be available in the US, later in this quarter, with it being available from retailers, such as Dell.com, CDW, Best Buy. Technical specifications of the S743 include:

Apple to do away with DRM on its iTunes music store [ 07-01-2009 13:04 ]

Author: Serge Novikov Translation by: Administrator

At Apple's last keynote, at the Macworld expo, the company announced that they would be doing away with DRM-encrypted music files, on the company's iTunes store. Songs available on the iTunes music store come courtesy of Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group and EMI (who, today, agreed to do away with DRM on their music files purchased over iTunes), as well as a large number of independant record labels. Now, you are no longer confined to play purchased songs on just one device, you can freely send songs to your peers too.

By the end of March, every song available on the iTunes music store will be DRM-free. To add to this, songs will, effective of April, the pricing of songs purchased on iTunes will change, with the pricing of songs being either $0.69, $0.99, and $1.29 - the price of a song will be dependant on what a label wishes to charge Apple. Should you wish to remove DRM to songs previously purchased on iTunes, you can do so, by "upgrading" the songs to iTunes Plus, which will cost $0.30 per song, or if it'sa full album, 30% of the album's price.
