Daily Apple: Norway Hearts iTunes, Wait Extend for Extra 2″, & Fun With Spelling

New Snow Leopard Updated Seeded to Select Group – A new build of the still experimental OS X Snow Leopard has been seeded to developers, but not to all. The app improves stability without adding any new big changes, which may be a sign that Apple is prepping it for public release. No info on why the testing pool is limited at this time.

Norway Okay With iTunes, Now That DRM is Gone – Norway’s consumer ombudsman has dropped his complaint against Apple now that they’ve gone DRM-free with iTunes tracks, according to CNET. They’re just one of many European groups to have lodged complaints against Apple for their protection, all of which will likely be dropped now that they’re no longer relevant or meaningful. Makes sense to me.

17-inch MacBook Pro Shipments Get Delayed – Apparently it wasn’t late January, like we reported earlier. In fact, its now early February, and users are receiving notices of delays instead of shiny new 17-inch MacBook Pros. The new ship date of 3-4 weeks puts delivery into March. Apple give the reason as “wrapping” difficulties. The new packaging must be amazingly complicated.

Samsung App Store to Launch With Over 1,000 Titles – Samsung, who makes a lot of phones, has decided to start up an app store of their very own for their devices. That officially makes the app store thing a full-fledged trend, since pretty much everyone is getting on board. Where’s yours, Nokia, or do you want to become as irrelevant as Motorola?

Take Out the “D”, Add In An “H, N, E” – That’s how your turn an iPod into an iPhone. Or, as the analyst quoted in this piece suggests, bundle iPhones with a built-in data plan. My way is easier, if less tangible.
