Verizon serves up Free Mobile Downloads of Prince’s New Single – Guitar

Looking to generate hype around his upcoming “Planet Earth” album, Prince has teamed up with Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless to offer free downloads of his new single – Guitar. Verizon Wireless subscribers using the carrier’s Vcast song ID feature will be able to download the new single, free of charge. The innovative new feature allows users to hold their phone up to a speaker and the service will identify the song playing through said speaker.
If you’re a Verizon Wireless subscriber, simply download the new Vcast song ID service for free, and then hit up revver.com, myspace.com or veoh.com to play the Guitar music video. Just hold up the phone to the speaker that is playing the single, and the ID service will dig up song information and offer an option for a free wireless download.

I’m a Verizon customer, and I’m very upset that I won’t be able to tell all my Cingular friends: “Ha! I told you Verizon is better because WE GOT THE IPHONE!”
Instead, I’ll download my “free” Prince track, and CANCEL my contract this month after it expires. IPhone here I come. Will, thanks for all the great posts and keeping us up2date.
Nice move!
Both Dusan and I will be doing are darnedest to keep you on the forefront of iPhone news!
Thanks for the encouragement
