This new offering from SanDisk will enable mobile enthusiasts to enjoy their most liked digital content on their handsets without the need for a PC to download music. The company has announced a card-based media solution with network-connected memory to lend support to Cricket’s Muve Music wireless service.
The service puts forth unlimited talk, text, web, music downloads, ringtones and ringback tones. The content is effortlessly downloaded DRM-free over Cricket’s 3G network and securely saved on the SanDisk flash memory card. This new innovation promises to render high-quality mobile experience.
“With the help of SanDisk, we have created an innovative new way to protect digital content without the use of DRM. This solution enables a superior overall experience for Muve Music customers. They will have immediate and easy access to all the music they love while the music industry has the confidence it needs in a secure mobile music solution,” commented Jeff Toig, vice president and general manager, voice and data products, Cricket.
“Cricket is a leading-edge mobile network service provider that knows how to deliver value and innovation to its customers. The use of our advanced technology to secure the Muve Music service is one of those ways. We help Cricket deliver a great quality of service and a premium experience, and we are pleased to serve as a value-added solutions provider to Cricket,” remarked Daniel Schreiber, senior vice president, software and solutions, SanDisk.
The card’s integrated security technology intuitively encrypts the content whenever users download music from the Muve Music service. The safety level is enhanced since the card safeguards content by verifying the user’s account status before allowing access to the service.
The Cricket Muve Music service is anticipated to be available in January next year on the stylish Samsung Suede.
