Apple finally ready for iTunes subscriptions?

Apple is getting ready to introduce a subscription service in September. Supposedly a $129-a-year iTunes service that would piggyback on Apple's MobileMe service.

Under the new service, Apple would offer unlimited access to half of its iTunes Store as of an October launch--for $129 a year, or $179 for an iTunes/MobileMe combo deal, in the U.S. only. If you're already a MobileMe subscriber, you'll only have to fork over $99.99 for the subscription service
