Media and other entertainment services are expected to be a major area of growth for the wireless and media industries, analysts have said.
MySpace, one of the fastest-growing Internet services with more than 130 million user profiles, is also offered on cell phone service carrier Helio. But Cingular's version will be more expansive, MySpace said.
Users will need to download a Java software application to their cell phones. Initially, about 30 cell phone models will be supported, with another 20 models supported in the coming weeks, which will then account for about 90 percent of Cingular's cell phone user base, a MySpace representative said.
Although online videos from MySpace will not be viewable on cell phones at launch, it is likely to be a service offered some time in 2007, she said.
Media conglomerate News Corp. bought MySpace for about $580 million in 2005. Cingular is a joint venture of phone companies AT&T and BellSouth."
