o U.K. Consumers' Association Calls for Probe into iTunes Pricing

London -- The U.K. Consumers' Association on Wednesday called on the Office of Fair Trading to open an investigation into the pricing of Apple's music download service iTunes. According to the Consumers' Association, iTunes is "ripping off" U.K. customers and possibly breaching EU competition rules by charging 120 euro cents for each track downloaded -- about 21 cents more than it costs to download a track in France or Germany. Apple defended its pricing scheme, comparing the situation with divergent prices for CDs in the U.S. and the U.K. The company said that prices should be compared with other music download services in the U.K., not on the Continent. "The underlying economic model in each country has an impact on how we price our track downloads," an Apple spokesperson said. "We believe the real comparison to be made is with the price of other track downloads in the U.K."

o Report: Beatles' Record Label May Get Landmark Settlement from Apple

London -- Apple Computer may face the largest out of court settlement in history, if a U.K. court decides it broke an agreement with the Beatles' Apple Corps record label that restricted the company from entering the music market, according to published reports citing legal experts. In 1981, Apple Computer and Apple Corps brokered a deal that allowed the computer firm to use its name and not infringe on the label's trademark so long as it did not sell music. Apple Computer was then sued by Apple Corps in 1989, following the release of music-editing software, and settled that suit in 1991 for a reported $30 million. With the launch of iTunes and its iPod, Apple was sued again in Sept. 2003, and legal experts have said that Apple Computer may have to pay what could amount to the largest out of court settlement in history in the case, outside of class action litigation.

o Amazon.com Unit A9 Launches Internet Search Engine

Seattle -- Online retailer Amazon.com on Wednesday announced that its A9.com subsidiary has officially launched its Internet search engine that allows users to store and organize their search results. A9.com offers search results culled from a range of sources, including Google, Amazon.com's book text search service, the Internet Movie Database and GuruNet.com.

"The search landscape is evolving at such a rapid pace that we must continue working hard to build innovative technologies that offer a great user experience."

The Nokia mobile P2P network functions on the GPRS wireless platform, and divides users into "clusters," where each user stores a list of the files stored on their cluster, to increase efficiency on the network.
