There has been a lot of talk on the internet about Universal's move not to renew a multi year deal with iTunes. This article discusses the idea that it could be related to Universal wanting a cut of the iPod and iPhone hardware sales. I know it's speculation, but I mentioned earlier that Universal has such a deal with the Zune. The article notes that Universal would make some big bucks given the volume of iPhone and iPod sales. I know we don't know it for sure, but if Universal expected and got this deal from Microsoft, I don't know why they wouldn't want the same deal from Apple. I think that would be outrageous, and this article lays it out very well:
Universally Greedy!
