BT not launching "iPod killer" |
BT will not be launching an 'iPod killer' today, as widely reported in the media, according to silicon.com. However, it is reportedly looking into the possibility of doing an iTunes-type download store for mobile devices next year. The company launched a pilot of its mobile TV project, called BT Livetime, starting today. The company is now trialling the service with 1,000 Virgin Mobile customers, allowing them to watch a selection of satellite channels and listen to more than 50 DAB digital radio channels. A BT spokeswoman said the telco might look at putting together a service for release in the first half of next year but "it's not designed to compete with the iPod."
