Apple confirmed with Listening Post that the iPod Touch will not allow users to download MP3s from web pages over its WiFi connection, so devotees of MP3 blogs will need to stick to the old plan: download to computer, import into iTunes, and sync to iPod.
However, streaming radio is still a strong possibility for the iPod Touch, and could become a bigger part of the iPhone too. When asked whether the iPod Touch would handle streaming radio from either Apple or third party sites such as Pandora and Seeqpod, my Apple contact told me there are "no announced plans."
Nor could the representative confirm my theory that Apple will release an iTunes Tagging feature for streaming radio similar to what was announced today in the world of HD Radio. Such a feature would allow the iPod Touch and iPhone users to tag webcast songs on their devices for purchase from the iTunes store.
