A landmark month for mobile music gains momentum as iPhone launches amid a slew of new services
A banner month for the mobile music sector will hit a peak this Friday with the UK launch of Apple's iPhone.
Its launch will follow a frenzied period of mobile activity last week, which saw the unveiling of Omnifone's MusicStation subscription service;
Nokia formally opening its UK music download store; and the OCC
unveiling details of a music subscription plays chart, which will track the most popular songs on services such as MusicStation and Napster UK.
Napster itself expects to sign a deal with a UK mobile company to launch an offering within four to five weeks.
Omnifone's MusicStation service allows consumers to download unlimited amounts of music to mobile phones for a weekly fee of #1.99, offering a catalogue of more than 1.2m tracks from launch, including all four majors and a significant number of independents.
