Is Apple turning into a media house? The ever innovative Steven Jobs is sailing his company to totally new waters by entering the budding online music sales & distribution market.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage at the Moscone Convention center here and pronounced a new era for digital music consumption, saying that other online music services are either illegal or unattractive.
