Universal Music Group gets a phone of its own

Universal Music Group and partner SingleTouch Internative are bringing to market a music-focused mobile phone, called MoveU Mobile, which will provide access to such personalized entertainment as ringtones, wallpaper images and other music-related downloads, according to Reuters.

"SingleTouch will create phones branded for individual UMG artists, sold through each artist's Web site, with preloaded content specific to that person. SingleTouch already has sold 7,000 units of a Hilary Duff-branded phone (picture left) and is in the process of rolling out a Barbie-branded model.

The MoveU phone will be sold later this year for $99.95 at Wal-Mart and other retail locations. That price is considered to be essential for mass consumer adoption".
