« Nokia Comes With Music

- Nokia is launching a new music service , called ‘Comes with Music’. Quite late, but pretty interesting. I am sure you know that iPod is not successful because of its cool looks. It is successful because of the way it integrates with iTunes. In fact, the older version of iPods (before the touch series) are quite dumb – they cannot record audio, take pictures, not bluetooth compatible and many other things my smart phone can do. But the video iPod I have is lot more expensive than my phone, with lot less features. But….I still love my iPod. I download lots and lots of podcasts and listen to them in my car. And iTunes does a great job downloading stuff from the store to my iPod…all within the same window. It is so simple and seamless and I believe thats where the magic is. I also believe that Apple did a great background job getting the iTunes model correct before it launched the iPod. And today, Nokia seems to launch a similar service, but it did take lot of time to do all this. I am sure other players, like Sony, Motorola will try some thing similar very soon. They got to. In fact, I believe they should integrate with other photo sharing sites seamlessly, to have an edge. Choice is always good for the consumer, so I will give it a try, even if I have to dump my SE phone.
