As if your cell phone bill wasn't high enough already...


If the market keeps converging like this, they'll be adding a cell phone to your iPod. Instead of paying by the track, we'll pay by the song played.
Many wireless service providers hope to boost their revenue with services like streaming music or video clip and music downloads to mobile phones, but there are still questions about demand for the new services.

About 40 percent of 1,000 phone users between 13 and 34 years old would be very interested in commercial-free radio over their mobile phone, the survey said. Nearly 35 percent of those surveyed showed an interest in wireless music downloads.

Personally, just make a cell phone for calling, and keep the price down while we're at it. I'll play my music on something else. The "Digital Leatherman" won't be the answer, but they'll try.
