There is also great news for iPhone 3G users. iTune music can also now be purchased over 3G and synched back on your computer at home.Beginning today, all four major music labels — Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group and EMI and thousands of independent labels, now offer their music in the DRM-free iTunes Plus format with higher-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding.
