iTunes Available to iPhone Via Edge Network

No Wi-Fi Required: iPhone Users Can Now Buy and Download Songs from iTunes Using 3G…or Even EDGE!

Everyone's always waiting with baited breath to hear what Steve Jobs has to say at each year's Macworld Expo. This year he had lots to say on the iPhone and here's one of the most impactful:

iPhone users can now download songs from the iTunes music store over the AT&T EDGE 3G network. Until now, music from the iTunes online music store could only be bought over an iPhone and downloaded to an iPhone using a WiFi connection (or an iPod Touch)--in fact, until now, the official name of the iTunes Music Store was the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

Now anyone with an iPhone can get the songs they want on demand, no matter whether they have a 3G iPhone or a first generation iPhone hooked up to the much slower (but still supported) EDGE network.

One restriction does apply--that you can't download any files larger than 10 MB.
