Apple Phone or UMG Phone?
Posted by Dana Blankenhorn
Which is more likely to come out first, an Apple iPod phone or a phone put out by the Universal Music Group? What does that say about the cellular market?
Also, how cold does Hell have to freeze before you're going to buy a phone run by a music publisher? (I think pretty cold.)

Both companies are eventually going to put out a cell phone, unless they realize there may be no market for their phones...then again.. Teenagers are obviously going to buy them for the new-age music that they are [possibly] going to get. Anyway, I think i-Pod phones will come out first. Apple is a bigger name, and they'll probably put it in to motion after seeing Much Music do it. Sure, they're not a music publisher, although they are a music-related company/broadcaster.
I'm pretty sure "music phones" are just for younger people anyway. I highly doubt you'd see someone in an important business playing with a Much Music phone, so it's probably going to be the same if Apple or Universal Music Group releases them. :)
