Sony Ericsson Plans Music Store

Mobile-phone maker Sony Ericsson yesterday hit back at rivals Apple Inc. and Nokia Corp., unveiling plans for its own Internet music portal and introducing three new handsets. The Wal Street Journal reports.

"Sony Ericsson, a joint venture between Sony Corp. and Telefon AB LM Ericsson, plans to release the upgraded PlayNow service next spring, adding millions of new music tracks from major record labels.

Until now, Sony Ericsson has only offered music downloads via its handsets from Sony BMG Music Entertainment, a joint venture of Sony and Bertelsmann AG."
