It looks like Nokia is launching their own music download service in August. With 70 million music capable nokia phones already in the hands of consumers, they are well positioned. Apple will have their work cut out for them. I'd expect to see some serious iPhone price cuts and new features before the European release. The iPhone is cool but they've entered a crowded field who doesn't want to loose market share. The winner here is consumers with more choices. And more importantly for us .mobi builders is this is yet another expansion of data services to mobile phone users.
