There are many things which you get to know in some of the very important key note addresses. In a recent key note addresses, Steve Jobs threw out a few numbers which really astonished me. In fact I was really amazed at the numbers.

The numbers stated that during live blogging, as many as 25,000 applied to dev program, 4,000 admitted. Fortune 500 counted as 35% of the participants of the program. During live blogging these things tend to fly. Another important fact was the iPhone dev program acceptance rate @16%.

Now Apple is just cracking another source to boost its revenues. MacNN reported that Apple is going to impose file size and fee caps for iPhone/iPod touch applications. Apple might limit the file size to 2GB. We also know that most of the applications are less than 2GBs.

The post also reveals that the price will be between $.99 and $999.99. It will depend on the spectrum and Enterprise-style applications. How much are we willing to shell out? We want you all to vote and give us your honest responses.

Developer Inuta has just announced that they will soon launch a beat maker program that will help you make your own beats and compose a tune anywhere and anytime. It also allows you to record the music.

Beat maker also provides facilities like three channel EQ, synchronized delay, and for the people who like to rock the 8-bit sound even a bit crusher is provided. The pricing of the beat maker has not yet been declared. Even the exact launching date is not mentioned. The only thing mentioned is that it will be launched soon.

To the surprise of many people the price of an 8GB iPod is same as that of a 16GB 3G iPhone. This indicates only two things that we are either going to see a huge drop in iPod prices or the economic department of Apple have got their calculations completely wrong.

In all comparisons the iPhone is a better device than the iPod touch, and if both are priced at same costs then why would people even think of buying an iPod they will straight away get an iPhone.

Napster is now competing with iTunes by offering six million DRM-free songs in MP3 format that can be played on iPods and iPhones. Each MP3 song is available at 99 cents and I of 256 kbps. Most of the MP3 albums are priced at $9.95.

The strength of the Napster library at six million songs rivals that of iTunes and has the added advantage of more DRM-free songs. Apple’s response to this should be interesting to watch if it can or cannot offer more DRM-free tracks. Many music record companies are trying to challenge Apple’s share in online music industry.

Many music labels have somehow got the idea that they should be getting more money out of iTunes sales of music on mobile than what they get from online sales via iTunes. Presently, 70 cents is the cost of each download through iTunes and this is the amount that is given back to the music record labels.

According to the record labels, the reason for this expectation is that the price quoted for ringback as well as ringtones. However, they probably do not realise that the price of for ringback and ringtones is already considered to be quite high. Therefore, the current prices will generate volume sales for the music labels which will bring them profit eventually.
