Yesterday **Kickstarter** launched its first native iOS app and **CD Baby** introduced download wristbands with special Valentine's Day pricing. In late January, **Amazon** was granted a patent for Redigi-style digital content resales. Such data points, aka news items, help indicate the extensive features of music tech's terrain. **Kickstarter Launches iOS App** Yesterday Kickstarter [announced](http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/introducing-the-kickstarter-app-for-iphone-and-ipo?ref=hypebot.com) the launch of its brand new iOS app for iPhone and iPod Touch: "We took things we've learned from the past three years of building the site, and applied them to a total redesign for the iPhone. We redesigned the project page, browse pages, and others." "And we focused on making three things really useful and fun: finding new projects, keeping up to date with projects you've backed, and offering great tools for creators." **Get it:** [Kickstarter iOS App](https://www.kickstarter.com/mobile?ref=hypebot.com) [![Cdbaby-download-wristbands](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e2017d4113143b970c-450wi "Cdbaby-download-wristbands")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e2017d4113143b970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com) **CD Baby Introduces Download Wristbands w/VD Sale** Here are some [marketing ideas](http://diymusician.cdbaby.com/2013/02/promote-your-music-w-download-wristbands/?ref=hypebot.com) for CD Baby's new download wristbands from Chris Robley who explains that each wristband "comes with a unique code, redeemable on CDBaby.com for a free album or single download": Use download wristbands at your next concert. Give away download wristbands at your album release party. Use download wristbands to release one single every month. Promote a festival or compilation album with download wristbands. They're a smart hybrid and you can get them for half off the normal $89 price per 100 through February 28th. **Amazon Granted Patent for "Secondary market for digital objects"** In news that should have drawn more attention, Amazon was granted a [U.S. Patent](http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8364595.PN.&OS=PN/8364595&RS=PN/8364595&ref=hypebot.com) on January 29th for "an electronic marketplace for used digital objects": "In one example, a user may use the personalized data store interface to access and manage used digital objects within his or her personalized data store. A user may move available used digital objects to personalized data stores of other users…The movement of the available used digital object to another user's personalized data store may be a result of a sale, rental, loan, gift, trade, etc. " Obviously this doesn't grant Amazon the right to resell digital content such as MP3's but it certainly sets the stage. Digital content reseller [ReDigi](http://redigi.com/?ref=hypebot.com) released a [reply](http://newsroom.redigi.com/redigi-issues-statement-on-amazons-patent-for-the-resale-of-used-digital-goods/?ref=hypebot.com): "ReDigi believes the Amazon patent is further proof that the secondary market is the future of the digital space and that there is no turning back." **I think we can safely anticipate high \[legal\] drama ahead!** *Hypebot Senior Contributor Clyde Smith ([Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/fluxresearch?ref=hypebot.com)/[App.net](https://alpha.app.net/clydesmith?ref=hypebot.com)) also blogs at [All World Dance: Videos](http://www.allworlddance.com/?ref=hypebot.com) and maintains [Music Biz Blogs](http://www.musicbizblogs.com/?ref=hypebot.com).
