Nokia Music Store launches without Warner Music due to file sharing fears

Notice anything missing from the Nokia Music Store launched yesterday? How about Madonna? According to the Wall Street Journal, Warner Music Group -- yeah, that guy -- is withholding their goods due to concerns with copyright abuse at Nokia. No, not with Nokia's Music Store but with their seemingly unrelated MOSH (MObile SHaring) file-sharing service. The other three majors -- Universal, Sony BMG, and EMI -- are all playing nice, however. A Nokia spokesman confirmed the absence stating, "we are hopeful that Warner will be part of Nokia Music Store in the future." Who knew that Madonna could be used like a big stick?

Nokia's N810 Internet Tablet, MOSH to debut soon?


We'll admit, the absolute last place we expected to find out about the N800 Internet Tablet's successor was an Island Def Jam press release, but hey, we'll take it. Turns out, a notice surrounding an upcoming bash just happened to reveal a tad too much about what would be featured there, as it clearly states that Nokia's N810 Internet Tablet will be showcased along with the outfit's mobile sharing service MOSH. Additionally, the "MOSH social sharing site technology will provide party guests with exclusive barcode mobile invites that will be scanned from their mobile phone," which sounds like all sorts of fun. Regardless, we're still categorizing all of this as a succulent rumor for the time being, but considering that the shindig is scheduled for October 23rd, we'd bet the official word is coming soon. Oh, and just in case the read link mysteriously goes down, a screen grab of the release is posted after the jump.

Nokia pounces on iPhone price drop with Google ads


One of the few hundred thousand that dropped 600 bones for an 8GB iPhone instead of the moderately more palatable $399? It's alright, Nokia still hearts you, and they want to prove it. Espoo wasted no time after yesterday's announcement in taking out Google ads encouraging disheartened, empty-walleted iPhone owners to check out its new MOSH service -- a collaborative mobile media site run by the phone giant -- to "salvage" their devices. With all due respect, Nokia, no amount of free content is going to put $200 back into our pockets, but we appreciate the thought nonetheless.
