BlackBerry to get MP3 music download store from 7Digital
Research In Motion’s music push will soon include a dedicated BlackBerry download store, courtesy of UK firm 7Digital. It plans to launch its store in September with a catalogue of around six million songs in the US, UK, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Spain.
Tracks will be sold as MP3s and will be downloadable over the air. Songs are expected to cost £0.79 / $0.99, and albums £7.99 / $9.99. “We see the BlackBerry application as very much an impulse thing,” says 7Digital boss Ben Drury, making it clear there’ll be no Comes With Music style unlimited service.
The store will take the form of an application, distributed through RIM’s BlackBerry App World. It raises the question of whether this is an exclusive deal, or whether other music retailers – Amazon, for example – could launch their own store apps for BlackBerry.
