Verizon Wireless has announced the launch of its Mobile Producer in Residence program, with the first Mobile Producer being R&B visionary Timbaland.
Timbo will launch an entire mobile-exclusive album via V-Cast, throughout 2008 – his chart-topping collaborations include Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On” JT’s “SexyBack”, and more recently he has released his own album “Shock Value” (which very good indeed!).
The project will start end of March, and include a different artist each month, to create a new track via the Verizon Mobile Recording Studio Bus. Verizon will also broadcast session footage on the V Cast and Surround platforms.
Anyone else think this is just awesome news? The ONLY downside is that this won’t be accessible in the UK – boo!

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
