The problem is that it is far too much trouble to add music to most music phones -- more trouble than most people would like to deal with. It also costs way too much to buy music from the mobile-based services. Most people will buy their music from one service that they can use pretty much anywhere they like (like iTunes, Napster) for cheaper.

I think Apple saw the convergence of the mobile phone with the music player and other devices, and thought they had to get in on that to keep the iPod on top... Apple may have had a little more time to work on the convergence issue, because no one has really gotten it right at this point, but now that they are in the game we will see how the landscape changes (and it *will* change).
