Everything started with Universal. After that, we saw EMI and SONY BMG joining Nokia’s Comes With Music initiative, and now the Finnish giant announced that Warner Music Group also jumped on board. Under the agreement, the record company will not only participate in the Comes With Music scheme, but will also make its catalog of new stars and legendary artists available through Nokia Music Stores around the world.
Commenting on the announcement, Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Warner Music Group’s Chairman and CEO, said: “Through this innovative service and business model, all parties are equally driven to create the best and most comprehensive music offering designed to meet the ever-expanding consumer appetite for music and music-enabled devices.”
Comes With Music is expected to launch in H2 2008 on a range of Nokia devices in select markets.

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.
