Mobile phone or iPod? asks The Guardian.

The biggest obstacles to buying music to play on mobile phones are suddenly evaporating. The latest is this week's launch (by mblox, the first 'single price' mobile music download service has the potential to give a huge boost to music and video downloads.

... This does not mean the end of the iPod, but far more people have mobile phones than dedicated digital music players and they are getting very sophisticated, capable of storing thousands of tracks.
