Wireless high speed downloads to phones, etc.

This may be too much on the technical side (i.e. not as interesting as a Hilary Duff vs. The Arcade Fire thread) so I'm prepared to see it sink to the bottom of the ocean.

I somehow managed to qualify for a free trial of the new-ish Sprint phone/mp3 player (someone found my old blog and assumed, wrongly, that I'm a hip youngster with my finger on the pulse of what's hot).

Anyway, it's horribly flawed in a number of ways that would keep me from ever actually paying for it (as it currently exists) but it's also as close as I've seen to the dream of having a little iPod sized thingy that can download any song at a moments notice. The (reasonably decent sounding -- certainly good enough for most people) songs download in something like 30 seconds...I just had an urge to listen to the Cars first album and was able to fulfill it, while standing at a bus stop, in about 5 minutes. It felt very futuristic.

Am wondering what other similar devices are currently around, how long until Apple has something like this that actually works well (does the forthcoming iPhone include this ability), if this already exists in Europe/Korea/etc?

They had a very odd selection of Fleetwood Mac: Rumours, and then a ton of Peter Green stuff. I mean, theoretically this is just a step away from buying access to stream *everything* and being able to own nothing, which is appealing to me more and more these days as I get sicker and sicker of storing CDs and backing up hard drives.
