Amazon seems to be primed to give Apple some true competition, they have announced plans to roll-out their MP3 service to an international market during 2008.
Amazon, who is currently the only retailer able to make the claim of offering DRM-free music from all four of the major labels and with that alone iTunes will have some competition. The Amazon MP3 service was originally launched in September 2007 and currently has more than 3.3 million tracks available. Sadly Amazon did not mention any specific date or time for the launch, leaving it simply as 2008. While I cannot imagine this being an iTunes killer, it does give users a very appealing alternative.
