It’s an unsurprising move considering that phones have all the requirements…the music and backing vocals play while the words scroll across the screen. The songs can be supplied now, although there are technical issues associated with operator bandwidth, different handsets and so on. The price per song is expected to be $2, although Sound Choice CEO Kurt Slep suggested the songs could be part of a promotional campaign by operators to push new handsets or 3G, or possibly in conjunction with a major contest where the customers would be submitting a recorded song as a precursor to tryout entry… they could even be video entries."</i><br /><br />It's bad enough that people are flooding to the bars to sing their own horrible rendition of a classic tune, now we'll have to put up with people singing horribly on the streets, in the subways, and many other public places. :evil: Impromptu karaoke sessions will start to appear on various street corners as friends bump into one another and sing the last pop tune. Someone save me! :?
