Napster logoNapster has announced that its unlimited over-the-air mobile subscription service in Japan will now include unlimited access to digital video service to complement its music subscription service. The new video service called Napster Clips puts high-quality music videos into the palms of purchasers of DoCoMo’s new N906iL handset.

Napster Clips is a broadband video service that users can view from a full-size browser on the N906iL handset over either the NTT DoCoMo 3G/FOMA mobile network or via NTT DoCoMo’s new “Home U” service — a high-speed wireless LAN connection via home broadband network. Also, for the first 20,000 applicants of the N906iL onefone handset customers, NTT DoCoMo will include a free “Comes With Napster Music and Video” 6-month subscription to Napster’s unlimited over the air Napster To Go audio and video music subscription service.

In addition to viewing high-quality digital music videos and receiving full-length songs directly on their mobile handsets, when subscribers use the Napster To Go service to download songs without connecting to a PC those tracks will be “bookmarked” and automatically added to their PC collection. Furthermore, users of the Napster To Go service are able to view Playlists from their PCs and download them directly to their handsets over-the-air.
