The service is the first of its kind in the US, and adds to AT&amp;T Wireless' industry-leading portfolio of music-related content and offers. Designed for today's on-the-go music fans, customers simply dial "#ID" (#43) from any AT&amp;T Wireless phone to initiate the service. When prompted, customers then hold the phone near the music source for approximately 15 seconds. Users will immediately receive a text message on their wireless phone with the name of the song title and recording artist."<br /><br />What do you think AT&amp;T wireless customers - is this something you'll use?
