Los Angeles-based digital music provider Napster will launch its first mobile download service for Europe in Ireland later this month on Telefónica"s O2 Ireland network. It would allows users to download directly from Napster"s catalogue of 2.2 million tracks on to their mobiles.
The new service also features a recommendation engine that lets people know when songs are available that might interest them based on their choice of downloads.
According to Napster its catalog will be available to O2 Ireland"s 1.6M subscribers through NTT DoCoMo"s i-Mode, through Ericsson. The launch will be the first for Napster Mobile in the European market. Napster said that it will be expanding its service to WAP- and Java-enabled handsets early next year. Ericsson will host, integrate, and manage the operations for O2.
