14 DAY TRIAL // The name Nokia is very well known to everybody. The Cloud name might be not so familiar to the people. But, maybe the fact that Cloud remains at the forefront of the wireless broadband industry is an information that might help many of you out there.
The service offers sophisticated national wireless LAN coverage across hot spots and city networks in the UK, Nordics, Germany and The Netherlands. And now Nokia has signed a deal with the company. The most important thing is that this deal will allow the Nokia customers to access for free, via Wi-Fi connection, the Online Music Store that Nokia owns.
The music provided by Nokia comes in the Windows Media Audio format (WMA), and it has high quality sound(192Kbps). For transferring the songs from the store you can use the Windows Media Player. If you have enough patience, next year Nokia will launch the Nokia Music PC client made for the same purpose: to transfer music.
A very good news, but there's still a catch. This service is available only for the United Kingdom. So, if you're there, you will be able to access the networks from any of the 7,500 Wi-Fi spots provided at McDonalds, Coffee Republic, BAA airports, or any other hot spot across London's Square Mile.
Anyway, the important thing is that anybody interested will be able to scroll through more than 2 million songs. Also, those who want to play around with this are required to have an account. With these steps made, any laptop or Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device will be good for surfing the music store.
A track will cost 1.60 dollars and an entire album of an artist will cost the user 16 dollars.
"The high-speed connectivity of Wi-Fi helps those who want fast and easy access to all types of multimedia content on the go", said Owen Geddes, director of business development at The Cloud.
