Apple buys Lala, confirms intention to move to the web and marks a first in Apple acquisition history

By Appsfire Team | Published: December 4, 2009

Apple has acquired web based music service Lala. There are 2 things that are interesting to observe

1. Apple is confirming its intention to move iTunes to the Web. This has already started with iTunes preview released 2 weeks ago
2. What is striking about this acquisition is that, if we're correct, this is the 1st Apple makes in the web consumer space. Traditionally they acquire hardware, or software or web infrastructures service.

Is that the beginning of a new Era for Apple? or just an opportunistic acquisition to preserve iTunes leading position before services like MOG or Spotify really take off?
