Article wrongly says: " I can't extract a music file from my iTunes collection on my MacBook and send it to the same friend, not unless it came into iTunes from me as an MP3 file in the first place."
Super wrong, it's easy:
Step 1: Right click song in iTunes and choose Show in Finder/Explorer
Step 2: Drag or copy and paste into email
This works with any song purchased from the iTunes store.
iTunes also lets you convert to any other music format in one click by choosing Convert from the Advanced menu. The format is chosen in Preferences > Import Settings

The video is on this page:

Amazingly, you can use all the built in functions, browse the web and compose and read emails etc without any sight. It looks incredibly easy too. The iPhone can even stay in your pocket.

An average of one base station was built and activated every 25 minutes day and night over that period.
On top of that it shared the spectrum with a CDMA network, was the first to activate 14.4Mbit across the network and it now covers 98.8% of the population...
