PHONE giant Nokia have delivered a Double Whammy to Apple with the launch of a rival music service to iTunes AND a rival mobile to the iPhone.

The quality of video shot on some mobiles is now so good that bands are keen to get hold of it to add to their websites.  Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine revealed that he uses his Nokia phone as a personal video diary of the band’s tours. “I’m always making little movies on my N95,” he said at the Ministry of Sound in South London. “I’d love to see stuff that the fans have shot on their phones. If it’s good enough, we could even use it.”

The new N81 is an 8GB music monster which will hold up to 6,000 songs and is designed to challenge the iPhone this Christmas.
And now that Nokia has launched its long awaited Music Store backed by the big music labels—EMI, Sony BMG, Universaland Warner—they really can claim to be offering an alternative to Apple’s iTunes.
The £300 phone, out in November, will play back music for 11 hours and has a standby time of 16 DAYS.
And it has one thing iPhone doesn’t have—3G which allows you to stream video to your phone. You can also easily “sideload” CDs with Microsoft’s Windows media.The mobile is also great for gameplay on its 2.4-inch screen.

THE new Nokia Music Store is a slick, well-designed website. Options including streaming, downloading, wish-listing and sampling are clearly displayed.
And you can tag songs on your phone for download next time you’re at your PC.
Synchronisation is automatic too, so if you download a song over the air to your phone, next time you connect to your PC, it’ll pop up in your library too. Tracks will cost 79p, the same as iTunes but you will be able to open an account which you can top up like a pay-as-you-go phone.
