The 2007 mobile music market could be summed up in one phrase: “It’s the device, stupid.” And though no mobile music service or associated innovation gained even a fraction of the attention that Apple did by unveiling the iPhone, that story certainly helped shine a spotlight on other mobile music developments, if only by means of comparison.
But from its initial flashy unveiling to the lines of people camping out for a device that didn’t even sell out, to the inevitable backlash when Apple cut the price by $200 just 70 days after it went on sale for $600, the iPhone dominated every mobile music discussion. And it will continue to do so for months to come. Meanwhile, other handset manufacturers too are now pulling out the stops.
