France Telecom CEO Didier Lombard has said that he is pleased with the rate of iPhone sales in France, according to a new report. “This (the launch of the iPhone in France) has had a positive image impact for us and led to a very positive commercial result,” Lombard told BFM radio on Thursday. “Overall, we have sold more than 70,000 units,” he said. Lombard had previously estimated sales between 50,000 and 100,000 iPhones between the device’s launch and the end of 2007.

Erica Sadun of TUAW has released a new application for the iPhone called Listen which enables users to discover information about a song they are listening to, such as the title, artist, and album, by simply holding their iPhone near the speakers. The application utilizes the iPhone’s built-in microphone to sample the audio being played and return the track information. Listen currently requires a jailbroken iPhone.
A new article from Wired, titled “The Untold Story: How the iPhone Blew Up the Wireless Industry,” provides new insight into the creation of the handset, from the early days of the iPod in 2002 up to now, and takes a look at how Apple’s negotiations with AT&T, and the early success of the device, have begun to change the structure of the $11 billion U.S. mobile phone industry.

Medialink could be a pretty sweet program basically allowing your PS3 to function as an AppleTV…
except…
the little asterik next AAC files on the formats supported portion of the website goes all the way to the bottom and says ” iTunes Music Store purchased content is DRM-protected and is not supported. Apple Lossless or iTunes Plus music is currently not supported by the PlayStation 3”
Oh well, not the perfect solution or AppleTv replacement, but at least you can stream all your burned music even if it in AAC format. I’ll have to download the trial version and give it a shot.
