Briefly: LifeDrive; piracy; iTunes review; Coldplay
In brief: PalmOne's new LifeDrive, a $500 PDA with an internal 4-gigabyte hard drive, is a "very, very good idea" and could become the "iPod of Everything."... The music industry considers the seemingly innocuous act of duplicating a music CD for someone else ``casual piracy,'' a practice that surpasses Internet file-sharing as the single largest source of unauthorized music distribution.... Its rivals are getting stronger, but Apple's iTunes continues to be the leader, BusinessWeek says in a review of the service.... Coldplay's new album, "X&Y," topped the sales charts in the U.S. with nearly 740,000 copies sold in its first week, 62,000 of which were downloaded from online music stores.
