Awesome!
This was quite unexpected!

As far the song price I would say Rs.9 would be ideal.

NO ! Flipkart is selling mp3 songs which are converted to 320 kbps.

Apple is selling the Original Songs directly from the Song Company in AAC format [ Advanced Audio Codec ] in 256Kbps AAC.

All songs will match with the iTunes in the cloud service automatically.

As soon as you RENT the movie from iTunes Store it will start downloading on your computer. You can watch this rented movie within 30 days. Once you click on the PLAY button you have 48 hours to complete the movie.

Is that a one-time process?
Cant we watch multiple times, within the rented period?

yep, and the player keeps track of plays... this is not something new, podcasts have always worked like this and are configured to download new stuff and delete the already viewed/ listened to stuff automatically

you can watch the movie multiple times within the 48 hours of starting to play it, but not after

Oh that means the movie file can only be played in itunes & not other players.

Welcome to DRM :) videos purchased on iTunes cannot be played in any other player. But you can play the music files in any player which supports AAC.

in the mean time.. I find the renting price as too high, Rs. 80 SD quality. there are other services which deliver original rental DVD to home !!

In simple terms, it is a ONE-TIME process. Once PLAY is clicked, it ought to complete the 48 hours time limit, and the file gets deleted.

But, you can pause the movies in Windows 7 iTunes, and pick it up again on iPad or iPhone or Mac within the 48 hours.

If you have TataSky at home, showcase movies works the same way.
