Nokia, Microsoft and Loudeye to provide digital music to cell phones

Nokia, Microsoft and Loudeye announced a deal to provide digital music to cell phone users.

The deal is a boost to Microsoft, which until now has had little success penetrating the mobile handset market. It has tried to push a slimmed-down version of Windows for use in so-called smartphones, which offer limited PC-type functions such as email, but its market share is below one percent.

The service will be launched in more than 30 countries.
