NTT DoCoMo, Microsoft to form music download service

by Marc Perton, posted May 11th 2006 at 6:22PM

NTT DoCoMo plans to work with Microsoft to build a music service based on Windows Media. The service would not allow direct downloads, but would instead require music to be transferred from a PC to a cellphone. The service would work with Windows Media audio from over 100 providers, and will launch this summer on the F902iS (pictured), one of DoCoMo's recently announced HSDPA-capable phones.
