Overview
Music Phones: An Introduction
Music phones are mobile devices optimized for playing music. They combine the functionality of a cell phone with that of a portable music player, allowing users to carry just one gadget instead of multiple devices. All major cell phone manufacturers offer music phones.
Leading companies like Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia have made significant contributions to this market. Sony Ericsson introduced Walkman phones, Motorola released the ROKR iTunes, and Nokia presented the XpressMusic series.
In 2005, more than 100 million music phones were sold, which was over twice the number of portable MP3 players sold at that time. These phones constituted about 12 percent of total cell phone sales that year.
