iPhone to get 3G iTunes downloads

Well, the iPhone Nano didn’t materialise (or perhaps it did, but it is just really really small) but Apple’s final MacWorld Keynote did have one big surprise for iPhone owners – iTunes downloads over 3G.

Until now, iPhone users have needed a wifi connection to download music directly to their handsets or have had to rely on synching with a desktop copy of iTunes. Now, anyone with a 3G signal can download straight to the phone using the built-in iTunes app.

In other iTunes news, Apple announced a revised pricing structure (tracks can now cost 59p, 79p or 99p) and – finally! – tracks willl start to appear without any DRM in ‘iTunes Plus’ format.
