Music from Heaven
Here come the wireless music stores. Late last year, Europe and Asia launched services for downloading full-length songs straight to mobile phones, and consumers responded. Now the U.S. is ready to get into the game, as Cingular, Sprint and Verizon Wireless all plan to launch over-the-air music stores next year. "There's an instantness that is amazing," says EMI's Adam Klein, who has helped carriers around the world launch music services. A mobile music store requires networks that can support fast downloading. Sprint and Verizon now have them, and Cingular will soon. Verizon may be the first to launch a wireless music store in the U.S., as it is already selling phones capable of tapping into the network. One to watch for: the new Samsung SCH-a950, a clamshell phone with stereo speakers and a thumbwheel for cuing up songs fast.
