Cingular Wireless has launched a broad mobile music service to compete with those of Sprint and Verizon. Cingular Music features partnerships with content providers including Napster, Yahoo, eMusic
and XM Satellite Radio. Through the service, Cingular is offering mobile access to the 2 million-song catalogs of Napster and Yahoo Music for $14.95, and starting at $11.99, respectively. Consumers
who buy a Sony Ericsson W810i or Sony Ericsson W300i will also be able to get 50 free songs from eMusic. Cingular Music is organized into eight sections that include a music store and areas for music
videos, streaming music, and music and entertainment news. For $8.99 a month, users can also get mobile access to 25 music channels through XM Satellite Radio. The XM Radio Mobile application was
developed and will be hosted by MobiTV.
