Cingular offers access to Napster, eMusic and Yahoo Music

Today, Cingular Wireless will become the first U.S. operator to provide mobile access to online digital music services such as Napster, eMusic and Yahoo Music, reports Reuters.

"Unlike rivals Sprint and Verizon Wireless, which operate their own branded a la carte download stores, Cingular is instead taking a partnership approach with subscription music services as the cornerstone of its mobile music strategy.

It's not yet possible to download over-the-air tracks directly to the phone but this feature should be operational within the next six months and points to eMusic as the likely first to go live."
