Mobile content firm Myxer has launched a new service called MobileStage, which aims to help artists and labels market themselves for mobile users.

It’s a bit like MySpace’s web version, allowing artists to create mobile websites, manage their fanlists, and even create their own apps for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. “We listened very carefully to a large cross-section of artists, and one universal theme we heard was the artists’ desire for more engaging and personalized ways to connect with their fans,” says Myxer CEO Myk Willis.

Although it sounds interesting, the danger for Myxer is that the actual MySpace may ramp up its mobile activities in the future. Thus far, MySpace has only taken its social networking aspects to phones, but having bought iLike – which already helps bands make iPhone apps – it may well expand in the coming months.
