It’s taken a few months for Qtrax to actually score a contract with one of the major labels after announcing in January that it would offer free, legal downloads of over 25 million tracks, but it looks like the company has finally succeeded in spearing itself a whale. Universal is the first major on board, joining bankrupt indie TVT, and Qtrax says the deal is for “all” of Universal’s music. Of course, in true Qtrax form, there might not actually be a contract yet — Universal spokespeople would only confirm an “agreement,” but “declined to elaborate or to say whether a contract has been signed.” Sigh. Well, the first one’s always the hardest, right?

Zoombak is launching another package for its convenient little Zoombak GPS locator device, in addition to the existing Car and Pet versions. Zoombak Universal comes with a new universal carrying case designed to let you mount the device to just about anything else you’d care to track — like a bike or a wayward child, for instance. It looks like it’ll be retailing for the same $199 and require the same $9.99 monthly fee as its predecessors, but you will be able to pick this version up at major electronics retailers in May.
