Let There Be Music - The Nokia Comes With Music Q&A
Written by Glenn Letham
Thursday, 30 October 2008
It was almost a year ago at Nokia World, Amsterdam that we first heard details of the Nokia Comes With Music Service... Today it's a reality. Read on for a Q&A about the service.
This is what we heard at the official launch (See launch PR here) "We set out to create the music experience that people are telling us they are looking for - all the music they want in the form of unlimited downloads to their mobile device and PC," said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Multimedia, Nokia. "Even if you listened to music 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you would still only scratch the surface of the music that we're making available. Comes with Music fulfils our dream to give consumers all the music they want, wherever they want it, while rewarding the artists who create it."
