Why the iPhone won’t rock the music industry
Carlos Gomez could be the recording industry’s ideal mobile music customer.
His phone is his music player of choice and he spends about $US100 a month buying songs for it - often on impulse after hearing a tune on his car radio.
That’s why he’s not buying an iPhone.
It’s not that he doesn’t want one. The 24-year-old officeworker is mesmerised by the look and feel of Apple’s uber-sleek new phone that’s a combination mobile phone, iPod media player and web-browsing gadget. He particularly likes its touch-screen navigation.
But Gomez says he won’t buy the handset because users can’t use it to buy and download music over a wireless network.
Instead, iPhone owners will have to buy music via their computers and then download it to their phones, a process called side-loading.
