Research In Motion (RIM) and Amazon have introduced the Amazon MP3 for BlackBerry smartphones in beta.
The new app aims to give BlackBerry smartphone users access to Amazon's entire music catalogue of over 14 million songs for purchase and download.
According to RIM, Amazon MP3 for BlackBerry smartphones lets users discover songs, artists and albums, and then lets them buy and download tracks from Amazon.
“The app also offers delivery options to suit all data plans, so tracks can be downloaded over WiFi or cellular networks.”
The company adds that users are able to easily share their latest musical finds with their friends by sending comments and links for specific tracks through BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), e-mail, SMS, Twitter and Facebook.
“Amazon MP3 for BlackBerry smartphones makes it fun and easy to get new music and we're thrilled to work with Amazon to bring this service to users,” says Alistair Mitchell, vice-president of RIM's BBM Platform and Integrated Services.
“Users can directly access Amazon MP3's massive catalogue to easily find, preview and buy music through the BlackBerry media player, and then share their thoughts with their social circle, giving them a uniquely BlackBerry experience that combines communications with multimedia.”
