Mobile music is back on the agenda since Apple launched the Iphone. However, the music industry’s focus is elsewhere - Radiohead being one such credible distraction.

The Next Great Thing provides  a useful summary relevant industry moves in mobile music. Here’s an overview:

• Apple’s iPhone downloads songs using wi-fi from its already successful iTunes store.
• Nokia has launched its own store, another download-to-own option. It is also planning a subscription service which allows users to keep the music they have purchased after the subscription has expired.
• Mobile music company Omnifone has teamed with networks in the UK, Sweden and Hong Kong to provide a subscription-based service called MusicStation.
• ATT offers Napster to Go (straight to the handset) and eMusic Mobile (via USB cable from a PC), and you can stream music via MobiRadio
• Verizon’s V CAST Music catalog has a catalog of 1.3 million songs that customers can subscribe to download for $15/mo.
• Monstermob offers off-deck music in Europe
• Sprint Music Store powered by Groove Mobile is the first off-deck solution. It lets wireless customers download music from EMI Music, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group for $2-2.50 a song.
