Nokia Chooses Loudeye as Music-Platform Partner
Nokia is jumping onto the digital-music bandwagon by collaborating with Loudeye to develop a wireless-music platform for cell phones. Motorola recently struck a similar deal with digital-music powerhouse Apple, reports NewsFactor Network.
"The multi-year agreement includes a substantial investment by Nokia in a global collaboration framework developed by Loudeye, which claims the world's largest music archive and offers a digital-media infrastructure for networks launching customized digital-media outlets and services.
Nokia's move follows closely on the heels of a partnership established between Motorola -- the No. 2 handset-maker -- and Apple , which lets iTunes customers store and play songs from the popular music store on mobile phones."
