V Cast Is Freakin' Cool

Verizon has launched a new service called V Cast which I for the most part ignored until I saw a demo of the service on a cell phone. It rocked!

Nutshell version - click and buy songs off your cell phone. The songs "download" to your phone via the cell network ( ie. anywhere you have cell service) - some of the phones have a 4 gig flash memory card about the size of my thumbnail. Songs can be transferred to and from your PC. Headphones plug right into the phone.

The quality of the music is stellar. You get charged for any songs bought at the end of the month on your cell bill.

Now this is the wave of the future - and in the near future TuneCore will be set up with them.

And hats off to Verizon for being the first major cell phone carrier to include indie content in the store.
