A wireless iPod to defeat piracy?

In his “Byte of the Apple” column for BusinessWeek today, Charles Haddad wonders what would happen if iPods went wireless. “Riddle me this: What would you get if you crossed a BlackBerry with an iPod? The answer: The future of the music business,” writes Haddad. The concept behind this is called Everywhere Internet Audio (EIA), and it would allow an iPod to become a “wireless digital ladle,” providing the user with a constant stream of digital music without the need for a storage device. Haddad also notes, “It’s an ill-kept secret that Apple is trying to figure out how to add wireless Internet connectivity to the iPod.”
