BT not launching "iPod killer"
BT will not be launching an 'iPod killer' today, as widely reported in the media, according to silicon.com. However, it is reportedly looking into the possibility of doing an iTunes-type download store for mobile devices next year. The company launched a pilot of its mobile TV project, called BT Livetime, starting today. The company is now trialling the service with 1,000 Virgin Mobile customers, allowing them to watch a selection of satellite channels and listen to more than 50 DAB digital radio channels. A BT spokeswoman said the telco might look at putting together a service for release in the first half of next year but "it's not designed to compete with the iPod."
