Tunes on phones

In no time at all, digital music shops like iTunes will be on phones as well as the Web. "For years, wireless companies have watched with envy as Apple Computer's iPod became the best-loved pocket device in America, a role filled virtually everywhere else in the world by the cell phone. Now, they're getting ready to do something about it," CNET reports. Verizon and Sprint are leading the charge, planning on unveiling their own music services "as early as the end of this year." CNET adds, though, that all the major cellphone companies have announced phones that will store and play music. But watch out, tunes on phones are expected to be as much as three times as expensive as on computers.
