Buy Zune

Musicwave is a provider of mobile entertainment services. It is a unit of Openwave Systems, a Paris-based provider of mobile entertainment services. Microsoft will of course be leveraging the relationships with content providers to by using it with Windows Mobile and Zune. This has sparked off a round of rumors of the next Zune Phone concept as well, but that is just a bunch of air at this point.

The mobile space is more developed in Europe than it is in America, so it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft to start moving in that direction, afterall they have a well established base in Europe. When this deal will be completed is not finalized yet. Not only will this acquisition provide access to content providers but also links to carriers like Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile to distribute the content.
