We have a sneaking suspicion that this wasn't the only reason Apple bought Lala (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/wsj-confirms-apple-purchase-of-lala/), but it looks like the first fruits of the acquisition have now begun to show themselves in the form of 30-second song previews on the company's recently-launched, browser-based iTunes Charts. Not exactly a web-based version of the iTunes store, to be sure, but it's a start... sort of.
