iWar 2: This time it's personal

We discussed NBC’s skirmish with iTunes, breaking a mutually beneficial relationship with the digital download giant because the network wanted to gobsmack fans of its shows by charging them $4.99 per episode and Apple said nope.

So NBC has taken its ball and gone home (ball, here, being a metaphor for all its TeeVee shows) – or, at least, over to Amazon.com’s Unbox service. Unbox is essentially a dinkier version of iTunes, but here’s the punchline – Mac users can’t access anything on it, and iPod and iPhone owners – the folks who helped save “The Office” in the first place – can’t download its content into their iGadgets. Take that, MacWorld!
