You know the drill. Another week, another set of links to iPhone stories of interest to me, and perhaps also to you.
- If you love to listen to music on your iPhone and like the idea of paying a monthly subscription fee to access an enormous music library, you should check out this New York Times article by Bob Tedeschi about the Rhapsody iPhone service which costs $10 a month and now allows you to download music to the Rhapsody app for offline listening. David Charier of Macworld also has a review.
- An article in the Broward / Palm beach New Times describes an iPhone app developed by Palm Beach lawyer Christopher Hopkins containing Florida and local rules of professional conduct.
