Pretty hot news actually with marketing logic behind it. Many/most mobile phones will have mp3 capability. And users already have an account with their mobile service provider. Why not download from your online account songs in your music library. This is another step in utilization of mobile phones for so many things ... including internet access. Music on mobile phones will facilitate migration of all other media to mobile devices.
