Microsoft plans to acquire MusiWave, French mobile music company

Posted Nov 12 2007, 06:24 PM by Kip Kniskern with 15 comment(s)

In a press release issued this morning, Microsoft announced its plans to acquire French mobile music company Musiwave.  The company is a leading provider of mobile music entertainment services to operators and media companies.  According to the press release:

The acquisition would bring Musiwave's relationships with music labels, device makers and mobile operators that deliver digital entertainment to consumers, together with Microsoft's Connected Entertainment technologies and services, including Windows Mobile, Zune, MSN and Windows Live. Should the transaction proceed, Musiwave would continue to operate out of its current headquarters in Paris.

MusiWave provides the technology behind the new T Mobile Music Jukebox, and provides technology, marketing, and content for mobile operators and music companies.

This has got to be WLM related. I bet it'll be the new phone service provider and perhaps, as Alber said, a wireless Zune music store.

If they wanted a mobile Zune store, they could if they wanted to.

Instead of putting WMP 11 in WinMo, they could have just put the Zune software instead. Or make both optional. So if Microsoft really wanted Zune on mobile, couldn't they have just update WinMo to support Zune software?

That would also make a WinMo device, practically a Zune itself. Without some of the cooler features.

This does sound interesting though.
