Nokia has denied it has a deal with Apple Computer to put the iTunes music service on the upcoming N91 multimedia phone…mere hours after the rumor hit Reuters.
Nokia did say that “software developers could readily produce programs to allow the gadgets to use services like iTunes”, which everybody had already assumed.
“There is no commercial agreement between Nokia and Apple to integrate iTunes into the N-series devices,” said Kari Tuutti, spokesman for Nokia’s multimedia division. “But since this is based on a computer platform, anybody — including Apple if they so wish — can very easily develop this kind of application and offer it to consumers, via the Internet for example.”
