UK: Woolworths announced yesterday a dual-change to it’s current retailing of music and video – firstly, that from August, it would no longer sell CD singles in it’s stores – and secondly that it was launching a digital download site for Mobiles.
The new Woolworths site will offer ringtones, wallpapers, and Java games for mobiles, and music/games/film/TV for PCs. The site is apparently designed to appeal to those not overly-familiar with downloading – perhaps an attempt to take those that were shopping in-store to an online experience…
Apparently Mobile content will be priced from £1.50, and then the top ten music tracks will be 59p for the first week, with other tracks from 77p. It is understood CDs will continue to be sold in the album format.
If you want to check out the new site, you can go here.

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.
