Sony Ericsson to roll out music service in weeks

Sony Ericsson will launch a mobile phone service with unlimited music downloads within weeks, the company said on Tuesday, as it competes with Nokia in expanding business beyond the sale of handsets.
Sony Ericsson's Play Now Plus, which will be available solely through telecoms operators, will provide subscribers access to millions of songs, and users can keep up to 300 songs after their 6-18 month contracts end.
Telenor would initially launch the service in Sweden and expand to other Western European countries in the middle of the 2009 first quarter and to other parts of the world in the second quarter.
