At this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, provider of the unlimited music download services Omnifone launched the MusicStation Max unlimited mobile music handset programme.
Omnifone’s plan, very similar to Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s “Come with music” initiative, involves partnering with handset manufacturers to give consumers the “freedom to download, play and share unlimited amounts of music, wherever they are.” LG is the first manufacturer to sign up for the Omnifone’s programme, with the first LG (touchscreen equipped and HSDPA enabled) MusicStation Max handsets due to be released in H1 2008.
Naturally, MusicStation Max features a full PC companion product so that users could listen music on both desktop and mobile phones. In addition, changes in tracks, artists, albums, playlists, friends and recommendations are automatically synchronised, without the need for wires or human intervention… Full release is available from here.
