Here’s a story you haven’t heard before – a partnership has been formed to start a new music download service. Alright, maybe you have heard it seemingly every day, but this one is a little bit different. Nokia and EMI have partnered to launch bFree, their take on a music download service. What’s the unique part? Well this one is delivered by Bluetooth.
Nokia announced CoolZone, their localized content delivery service for retailers today and bFree will take advantage of the same technology. Basically, it would allow your neighborhood coffee shop to install a service point in their store. Once it is in place, customers could come into the shop and download songs while slurping down a latte.
A trial will initially be run in three coffee shops and three record stores in Helsinki. The downloads will be free during the trial, but a cost will obviously be associated if the business is rolled out to customers on a wider scale.
