Apple To Expand Mobile Music Offering

Wed, 21 May 2008

Apple is looking at the possibility of expanding its mobile music platform, according to reports in the US .

The electronics giant reportedly in talks some of the major music labels to try and expand its range of music available to the iPhone direct, and to other mobiles, via its iTunes format.

Apple is said to want to offer its customers a wider range of ringtones and also "answer tones" - described as customised sounds that a caller hears instead of the usual ringing sound.

The firm is also rumoured to be holding talks over the possibility of introducing over-the-air 3G music downloads, and whether the cost for tracks available in such manner should increase.

The negotiations are unlikely to be concluded in time for the opening of the WWDC 08 event, where Apple chief executive Steve Jobs will take to the stage to deliver the keynote speech and is expected to announce the launch of the highly-anticipated 3G iPhone .
