Forbes magazine says it’s been told by Nokia that it will not launch its Comes With Music service in the US until next year, despite having previously targeted a 2009 launch for its unlimited music service.Its article suggests that the lukewarm response to CWM elsewhere in the world may be responsible, as Nokia regroups to get the product right. “Nokia is learning as they go along,” analyst Paolo Pescatore tells Forbes. “It’s a case of fixing it over time. For the US, they need to make sure the pieces are together before they launch any service.”The danger is that rival services – from Spotify’s app to any Apple move into the unlimited music space – could beat Nokia to the punch there.
