  2. Apple is operating a marketplace without AT&T control, although with Apple control Google is going to launch a marketplace in Q1 2009 Nokia, Samsung have also announced their plan to launch a marketplace in 2009. More and more devices have open WiFi and this trend is accelerating; although very few have access to VOIP applications and this trend has not started yet With Appleā€™s announcement to make all iTunes music DRM free ā€“ this trend is likely going to take hold
