LOS ANGELES, CA, Feb 04, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Napster (NASDAQ: NAPS) and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced the launch of the Napster Mobile music service with leading Chilean operator Entel PCS to provide the Napster Mobile music service in Latin America for the first time.
Napster Mobile is based on Ericsson's service delivery platform and will enable Entel PCS's subscribers to search, browse, preview and purchase content on their wireless handsets via i-shop, the Entel PCS Mobile Portal. The service features Napster's catalog of more than four million songs and mastertones, and offers a dual-delivery option for simultaneous downloads to subscribers' mobile phones and PCs.
