Pure Genius (Apple’s Deal with Starbucks)

Steve Jobs does it again.  On October 2nd starting in New York and Seattle you’ll be able to walk into a Starbucks store and wirelessly download songs from the i-Tunes catalog  into your  i-Pod touch or i-Phone.  And that’s without having to pay a WI-FI connection fee, nice!
