Lala, Apple, Mobile Music, and Cloud-Based Streaming

Lala, Apple, Mobile Music, and Cloud-Based Streaming

By Ryan Van Etten on 12/07/2009

Tweets about Apple acquiring Lala have been flooding Twitter for 3+ days now. A number of sources have provided news and analysis on the acquisition. Personally I think Apple aims to move iTunes to the web in an effort to control mobile cloud-based music streaming via iPhones and iPods. Mobility is paramount, and I think that buying Lala was a sound move for Apple.
