Omnifone to be the first with 3G subscription music downloads?
Apparently a London firm that goes by the name of Omnifone is working with Vodafone and 3 to support what could be among the first 3G-based over-the-air subscription music download services. Apparently the biggest of all record labels, Universal, is on board (we wonder how much cash they had to bribe, er, subsidy them with) for Omnifone's sub-£10 per month service, but we've still got questions that need be answered, like: is this PlaysForSure? Can you move tracks to your PC? Can you move PC tracks to your phone? Hopefully we'll find out at 3GSM this week, so watch out.[Thanks, John]

This looks like a pretty amazing product. I can't believe some of the other mobile music companies around didn't get off their asses and develop something in time to compete.
Just found this.

Yep, there's a serious competition from an ambitious startup called DIDIOM - www.didiom.com
