Nokia Music appliction for PC finally sees release    [ 03-10-2008 22:42 ]

Author: Irina Turina     Translation by: Administrator     

With Nokia Comes With Music campaign about to unfold, the Finnish phone maker has released the final version of Nokia Music application for PC – previously all enthusiasts could only get a taste of its beta version. In a nutshell, Nokia Music works in pretty much the same vein as Apple’s fabled iTunes – it allows accessing Nokia Music Store online, sorting tracks on your PC and moving them to a mobile device. As simple as that. All in all, Nokia are all set to take on Apple on its own turf, given what kind of service their new music phones will come with (a year of subscription will guarantee you unlimited downloads and limitless use of tracks, provided that you don’t move them to any other device). You can upload the final release of Nokia Music app for PC and enjoy all its benefits here.
