Music listeners will soon be able to transfer songs they buy from Apple
Computer Inc.'s
iTunes music store to Motorola Inc. cell phones.
The companies announced plans late Monday for Apple to create a new iTunes
mobile music
player that can transfer songs to Motorola mass market cell phones. At the
iTunes online
music store, customers can buy and share individual songs from a set list.
The new service will enable users to transfer songs from their computers to
Motorola
mobile handsets with a USB port or Bluetooth wireless connection.
The service is expected to become available in the first half of 2005.
"The mobile phone market - with 1.5 billion subscribers expected worldwide by
the end of
2004 - is a phenomenal opportunity to get iTunes in the hands of even more
music lovers
around the world and we think Motorola is the ideal partner to kick this off,"
Apple CEO
Steve Jobs said in a release.
