iTunes with N91? No says Nokia

Published by at

Finnish paper Taloussanomat published a rumour that the Nokia N91 (the iPod like Nseries music phone) would come with iTunes support. However Nokia were quick to deny the rumour, but did point out it would be straight forward to add support via the iTunes software. Indeed one of the key selling points of the N91 is that it will not be tied to any one service. Users will be able to add music themselves from their own collections, but there are also likely to be several services available. Indications point towards services powered by Loudeye with subscription services such as Naspter and Yahoo Music Unlimited also possibilities.


Ewan has this interesting comment:

So Finnish paper Taloussanomat, says the N91 will have iTunes on it it. Nokia, in a very nicely worded Reuter report, denies this. But let's play "spot the wiggle room" in the following quotes (our emphasis): "...on Thursday it had no agreement with Apple Computer Inc;" "but it had not agreed any commercial deals;" "We are not making any exclusive arrangements... but believe that we want to give the consumer the choice of where they want to purchase their music." Goody, can I use All of MP3 then?
