Nokia Music Store Spreads, Sort Of

By The Guru on March 12, 2008

The Nokia Music Store has finally seeped through the confines of the UK, spreading to Germany and Finland this past week. The mobile store is now also compatible with a whopping 5 handsets (out of HOW MANY S60v3 handsets?) supported. The store also currently requires Windows XP/Vista and Internet Explorer 6+, which is a shame.

Seeing as how the vast majority of Symbian-Guru.com readers are from the UK or US, this isn’t huge news. However, it’s a sign of life from the Music Store people, and shows they’re actually doing something. Now, how about that desktop music player application you teased me with at the Go Play event?

Also, as Viipottaja commented on AllAboutSymbian, how cool would it be to have support for the Nokia Internet Tablets? A dedicated app, like the Rhapsody one that’s already there?

    How on earth do they ever expect to get costumers with this? You can’t even look at it if you don’t have an internet explorer… I recently replaced my iPod with an S60 handset, which works find, expect for the lack of a decent online music store. Living in Germany, I was excited when I read this news.
    But then, well, I am a Mac user (no IE) and don’t have one of the specified S60 models, so this is essentially worthless to me…

    For now. Do you seriosly expect them to roll it oun on all platforms at once? Not to mention all countries (as some people have suggested they should). Btw, if I am not mistaken, the holy iTunes did not work on PC right away either, nor was it available globally. ;)

    Clumsy me managed to screw up the post above.

    Anyway point was: Firefox marketshare in Finland is about 46%, and Nokia only supports IE. They lose about 50% of potetial user’s right there. Then how many of the IE users have one of the few handsets they support? How many of those few people wanna buy DRM-music?
