Teaming up with AT&T Wireless, Sony Music has now introduced a mobile version of its website, providing access to ring tones, graphics and breaking news about Sony artists.
Making its first foray into the world of mobility, Sony Music's Mobile Products Group has announced the debut of Sony Music Mobile on the AT&T Wireless mMode service. Music fans who take a particular interest in artists in Sony's stable can now access ring tones, graphics and breaking news about their favorite artists right from their phone - provided the user subscribes to mMode.
Through Sony Music Mobile on mMode, customers will be able to purchase ring tones from songs made by Sony artists, display graphics featuring album covers, and make CD purchases through links to Amazon's one-click service. Ring tones include John Mayer's "Your Body is a Wonderland" and Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade." Ring tones cost between $.99 USD and $1.99 USD each.
Sony Music Mobile also features a subscription service for access to a mobile version of Sony Music's website. Subscribers with compatible handsets can receive fresh news, pictures, tour dates, album releases and more through a graphic interface.
For an additional subscription fee of $1.00 USD per month, Sony Music Mobile users can also download a J2ME application to receive up-to-the-minute news, tour dates, album releases, information on personal appearances, and pictures of the artist of their choice. At launch, Sony Music Mobile features artists including Amerie, Tori Amos, The Ataris, B2K, Celine Dion, Mario Frangoulis, Good Charlotte, Vivian Green, Jennifer Lopez, Nas, Opera Babes, Pete Yorn, and more. Subscribers can also enter contests and play trivia games.
