MP3.COM GETS INTO WIRELESS SERVICES

Now You Can Sue Them With Your Palm Pilot!
MP3.com launches a new service today that allows music lovers to instantly link downloaded song collections to their wireless devices, CNET reports.

The service is made possible through a partnership with FusionOne, which provides the technology to synchronize the audio files.

A song downloaded to a PC also can thus automatically appear on the user's mobile phone, PDA and other hand-held gadgets.

Financial details of the partnership were not available, but as part of the alliance, MP3.com will offer its visitors FusionOne's software for free.

Michael Robertson's MSP, despite still-unresolved litigation with persistent plaintiff UMG, publishing organizations and some disgruntled stockholders, continues to advance a range of initiatives to help move digital music off the desktop, which most observers agree will be crucial to making the onine music revolution profitable. A previous deal with Xystos placed the company's music services on exercise machines in gyms.

In other news, your life is completely in the hands of machines and a man who reads at the third-grade level is about to become the new U.S. President. Hey, don't shoot the messenger, baby.
