Omnifone, which provides unlimited music download services in partnership with major operators worldwide, announces the launch of the MusicStation Max unlimited mobile music handset programme. In partnership with major handset manufacturers and operators, MusicStation Max will give consumers the freedom to download, play and share unlimited amounts of music, wherever they are, for free, directly to their MusicStation Max pre-licensed music phones.

Omnifone announces LG is the first manufacturer to sign up for the MusicStation Max programme, with the first LG MusicStation Max handsets due to be released in the first half of 2008.

The first MusicStation Max devices will be compatible with any 3G/HSDPA network, and gives consumers a next generation touch-screen user interface with immediate access to the world’s music, wherever they are. MusicStation Max handsets are pre-licensed, meaning consumers do not have to pay for music but simply sign up to a special music, voice and data plan, which will enable them to download unlimited amounts of music, direct to their device, over the mobile network, for between 12 and 18 months.

MusicStation Max features a full PC companion product which gives consumers an automatically-synchronised experience across both desktop and mobile handset. Changes in tracks, artists, albums, playlists, friends and recommendations are automatically synchronised, without the need for wires or human intervention.

LG will work with Omnifone to introduce a range of pre-licensed high speed 3G and HSDPA unlimited music download mobile handsets, during the first half of 2008.
