Talking of mobile networks, O2 have said they are preparing to launch the first proper download phone onto which you can download full DRM protected tracks. O2 were the first network to launch a proper music-to-mobile download service, but the tracks were actually held and played on a small Nokia device that you plugged into your mobile. However the network say they will soon be launching a new service which will utilise a Siemens phone which means your mobile itself will essentially become an MP3 player. Expect a launch later in the summer.
