From the MSNBC article:
Sprint Nextel is hoping to bite into Apple Computer’s core by launching the first US music download service direct to mobile phones.
The Sprint Music Store will enable subscribers of the third-largest mobile carrier to choose from 250,000 songs from all four major music labels and download them for $2.50 each using phones from either Samsung Electronics or Sanyo Electric.
Shoppers will get two copies of each song: one formatted to play on their phone and a high-quality version to download to their PC. Customers can also burn their music to a CD using Microsoft’s Windows Media Player software.
"Sprint is first carrier in the US to deliver what customers want most in a wireless music store – the instant gratification of downloading and owning their own personal collection of high-quality songs on a device that is always with them," said Len Lauer, chief operating officer for Sprint Nextel.
So if there is now an iTunes for your phone, where is the KaZaA for my n91?
