Since Apple’s announcement of the iPod Touch earlier this month, numerous people have been touting the wireless iTunes store. No longer do you need to have your computer by your side to purchase music. With the iPod Touch and the iPhone, you can purchase your music wirelessly. To add further value to this experience, Apple teamed up with Starbuck’s to reach even more customers. Unfortunately, it will not be until early 2009 when almost all Starbuck’s stores will allow consumers to connect to the “special” Starbuck’s iTunes store for free.

On that note, Starbuck’s is preparing to offer 1.5 million song downloads per day starting October 2, 2007 and ending on November 7, 2007 for free. In order to take advantage of this, you have to have an iPod Touch or the iPhone. Fortunately, every Starbuck’s store will be giving away free music even though only a select few stores will offer wireless transactions. To put it frankly, if you don’t have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, you might be in luck. I still can’t determine how you’ll be able to take advantage of this offer in stores that do not have wireless iTunes capabilities.
