KATY CLARK: Now, here’s a quick technology story we wanted to pass along.  It’s kind of an interactive story.  So we’ll start by letting you take a guess. What i-Phone application do you think is most popular in Italy? The one that gives fans the latest soccer scores? Nope.  It’s an app call “i-Mussolini.”  It’s a collection of samples from il Duce’s speeches. Sales of the app have skyrocketed to about a thousand a day on Apple’s Italian i-Tunes store.   Some protested saying i-Mussolini is slide toward legitimizing fascism. And the institute that owns the images has threatened a lawsuit.  So the apps developer has removed it from the iTunes store for now.  Apple in Italy has refused to comment.
