FlyTunes Inc. today demonstrated its new digital music service for the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and other portable media players and cell phones. The FlyTunes service offers users a personalized satellite radio-like experience, with thousands of channels of digital music that can be enjoyed anywhere they go, regardless of wireless connection.
FlyTunes outshines satellite radio in a number of ways:

• FlyTunes does not require a receiver or additional hardware purchase; it works with the cell phone or personal media player already in a consumer’s pocket.

FCC has recently approved the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic, a new mid-end easy-to-use music cell phone.

Apparently, it is a successor to the Nokia 5310 sporting a slider form factor and equipped with a 3Mpix camera.

Buying music through the Player costs 99 cents per track, while purchasing music on the handset will cost you $1.
