Orange has unveiled a trio of handsets it will label ‘Great for Music’ to strengthen it’s push into the mobile digital music market, coinciding with the arrival of Find Music, Orange’s attempt to associate itself with live music events, most notably the Glastonbury festival. The Register seems cynical about the phones actually being great for music — of course, they’re cynical about everything, but this time they may have a very good point.
“Only the 6680 comes pre-loaded with Orange’s Music Player and Fireplayer – they can be downloaded from Orange World…Both apps allow network subscribers to download songs, but Fireplayer allows you to remix them too, albeit at a price: Music Player tracks cost &1.50 per download and Fireplayer tracks cost &3.50 per download.” Great for music? Or great for Orange?
