Nokia and Universal go after iTunes: Nokia announced a deal with Universal Music to provide the labels extensive music catalog to consumers who purchase their latest music-enabled mobile devices in 2008.

Their goal is to unseat iTunes/iPod from the massive lead it has in the digital music market in order to force Apple to negotiate on its pricing structure.
