Race to get music-enabled phones out
As indicated before music seems to be the focal point for mobile phone providers during 2005 (and maybe to a lesser degree Digital TV), and all manufacturers are racing to get there first.
Mentioned here are Sendo, SonyEricsson and Nokia.
SonyEricsson will market some of its phones under the Walkman brand. Technically there's of course no real difference, but this creates a stronger marketing message. Apart from this brand connection, there's otherwise very little Sony in SonyEricsson.
There will be a lot of confusion regarding what DRM scheme to follow, and just supporting OMA DRM is not enough. Note e.g. Motorola's iTunes phones.
