Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The way Apple has siezed control of the digital music download business through its combination of a tightly linked iTunes store and iPod player, a company like Navio Systems had to happen sooner or later. Navio is working on software that will enable music downloaders to buy their music from any website that sells it and download it to any portable digital music player, including the iPod.
This is good news for anyone who wants to sell music or videos online
because if they happen to incorporate Navio software in their content,
buyers can feel confident that it can be played on any device. Navio's
software accomplishes this by storing the digital rights associated
with each item of content, such as a music track, within the item
itself.
In the days before digital downloads went mainstream but everyone knew
it was coming, not many imagined that they would be restricted to
buying music from one site that could only be played on one brand of
portable player. With the advent of Navio, hopefully iPods will be just
as prolific because they are nice devices, except the music they carry
will come from a variety of online sources. Navio expects to have iPod
compatible software for sites by the end of June.
