We’ve asked if AT&T’s service had made you consider dumping your iPhone 3G. But even if the iPhone was available on other US cellphone networks, what choices would you have?

Many people would love to get the iPhone on Verizon, but the current generation Verizon network is CDMA, which is not compatible with the iPhone’s GSM radio. This means that, until everyone moves to LTE 4G in a few years, existing iPhones won’t run on Verizon (or Sprint for that matter).

That leaves T-Mobile. Unfortunately, T-Mobile has different 3G bands then, well, the rest of the GSM world, which means unless Apple changes the iPhone radio (unlikely), you would only get 2G/EDGE on T-Mobile, slower speeds, and no simultaneous voice and data.

Is that a deal breaker for anyone? Or would having the iPhone on T-Mobile, even on 2G/EDGE still be better for some of you than your local AT&T coverage?

Sorry for the slightly dopey post title, but I have a couple good reasons for it: I couldn’t think of a better one, and it’s probably the quickest way to get across the type of application that Nabbit for the iPhone is.

Shazam is the enormously popular iPhone application that takes a quick sample of any song playing around you (close enough to the iPhone’s speakers) and identifies the track’s artist and title for you. It’s one of those ‘wow factor’ iPhone apps that you just have to show to all your friends.

Nabbit also helps identify songs (and who sings them) for you, but only from radio stations. It may not have quite the same wow factor as Shazam - since it doesn’t listen to and analyze music playing near it - but if you’re a big radio listener, it may be even ore useful.

Finally, here is the video and audio version of my presentation at MidemNet 2009, in Cannes France. I put a ton of work into this presentation and, well, honestly... I think it's one of the best I have ever done on this topic.  Hope you enjoy it - and please comment, below, and / or spread the word!  Thanks to the Midem organization for providing the DVD with this video.

The topics: why the music industry needs to license the Internet just like it has licensed Radio (i.e. with a collective license), why criminalizing the users & fans will not work - and why those efforts should be re-directed to the creation of a new 'Music 2.0' ecosystem that actually produces growing revenues, where those new revenues will come from, and how the music flat rate - aka music like water - would work. See my previous blog post for more details and the PDF of this presentation. The MidemNet blog is here. My free book, Music 2.0, is here, btw;)

The UK’s Official Charts Company (OCC) has launched an iPhone application called Official UK Music Charts, which will let music fans get the new chart every Sunday evening just after it’s been broadcast on Radio 1.

It costs £1.79 to download the app, although this will soon rise to £2.99. But hang on, any savvy iPhone user can simply visit the Radio 1 website every Sunday and get that info for free. Why pay simply to have an application serve up the same data?

Well, the OCC is hoping its app’s extra features will make it tempting, with the ability to preview and buy tracks on the iTunes Store, stream videos for some tracks from YouTube, browse that week’s new releases, and click through to artist websites.

The app includes several charts - the Official Singles Chart, Official Album Chart, and a new chart called the Official Mobile Download Chart, based on OTA sales of songs to mobile handsets.

The app is the first in a series of planned charts-related products from the company this year - it’s promising a revamped website and various web apps and widgets. Interestingly, the app will be made available in several languages and sold in more than 40 countries around the world.

You can get the app by clicking here.
