RealNetworks Inc. launched on Monday a new service that delivers music, sports, news and entertainment audio and video to mobile phones and handheld computers running its software, the digital media software maker said.
Seattle, Washington-based RealNetworks, which makes software used to send and receive audio-visual content over the Web, said that devices such as Nokia's 3650 camera-phone and Palm Inc.'s Tungsten T and Zire 71 personal digital assistants are being shipped with its software for the new service.
Using mobile devices to receive music and video over the mobile Internet is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States, but it is already a growing trend in wireless Web-savvy Japan and has already started in Europe.
