Verizon Wireless, Real Networks’ Rhapsody and MTV Networks today announced the launch of V CAST Music with Rhapsody service, to deliver “unlimited monthly access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers, for about the cost of a single CD.”
The monthly subscription cost $14.99 and provides users with unlimited access to Rhapsody’s 5 million songs. Individual song purchases are also an option — for PC downloads, a single song could be yours for 99 cents, while OTA music purchase cost $1.99, but also includes a complementary DRM-free master copy file which users can download from their PCs.
V CAST Music with Rhapsody works on V CAST-compatible phones such as LG Decoy, LG Dare, MOTO W755, Samsung SCH-u550, Samsung Glyde and Samsung Juke. Customers using the MOTORIZRTM Z6tv, MOTORAZR2 V9m or LG VX8700 may bring their phones into a Verizon store to receive a free software upgrade on their phones to access the service.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
