Cingular Wireless is going to announce a music service - new phones that will connect to online music services. Only Cingular is a 3G and not having a music offering.
The new phones will offer Windows Media Plays For Sure for compatibility with many online music services. Cingular will first launch with software to transfer existing music to handsets and then later launch an over-the-air music store. Users will have a possibility to transfer their own music/songs from any compatible service to their phone using Windows Media Player.
Cingular will not offer downloads direct to the cell phone, although subscribers won't need to use additional custom software for this service. For example, the Samsung A707, can be one of the first compatible phones for this service.
The launch of this service from Cingular is very possible even for tomorrow.
