Toshiba Includes Oasis SD Card

Toshiba Mobile Communications Division has signed a deal with pop-band Oasis to market “exclusive live and pre-recorded content” from the band on a 512 MB SD card to be sold with the Toshiba 803, the companies music mobile phone. As part of this agreement Toshiba has been appointed exclusive mobile sponsor for Oasis live dates across major European territories up to Christmas 2005. The phone will be sold on Vodafone’s network, and the SD card will contain the following Oasis content:

  • Let There Be Love (audio and video)
  • Let There Be Love – exclusive demo track (audio only)
  • Live audio and video exclusives from the band’s Manchester gig of: Live Forever, Wonderwall, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star Acquiesce and Lyla.

It’s becoming common for handset manufacturers to promote their products with exclusive content, especially from the music world, but I think the SD card is an interesting idea because it makes it easier to package different content with the phone.
