Motorola launching an alternative to iTunes
SMAPE  News  Motorola launching an alternative to iTunes

Competition in the market of mobile content services isn’t strong for the time being. Apple iTunes are capturing the lion’s share of US and European markets. Very few people cast any doubt on the trend growth, that’s why the world’s largest manufacturers of mobile phones are seeking for an opportunity to enter the market and the existing players – to increase their share.

Thus Motorola presented the MotoMusic service, yet for the sake of popularization they launched it in the two largest Asian markets – Indian and Chinese. The matter is that almost half of the Earth’s population live in these two countries and the intention of the company is simple: instead of competing with iTunes in the Western market Motorola fastened their eyes on the highly prospective Eastern one.

According to the representatives of the American manufacturer, the service is developed based on the acquired SoundBuzz company. The library of MotoMusic is quite modest yet – about 350000 songs, but the company assure it will be growing.

In the nearest future the service access cards will appear in retail stores of the Indian and Chinese carriers and Motorola will offer their handsets with a special bookmark of the service.

Nokia render a similar service - Comes With Music, which has been mentioned on our website before (http://www.smape.com/en/news/interesting/28456.html).
