Mark Bridge writes:

Exactly a year ago, Yahoo! and Nokia announced a worldwide strategic alliance that would see Nokia providing Yahoo!'s maps and navigation services under the Ovi brand, while Yahoo! would power Nokia's Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat services. The two companies would also work on sharing log-in details across Yahoo! and Ovi services.

Music is a fundamental part of our lives, yet the vinyl record and the CD are increasingly formats of the past. The rise of digital music has been exponential and mobile is firmly part of that picture.

The event was chaired by musician and mobile specialist Oisin Lunny with contributions from Vincent Roger of Mobibase, Ohad Sheffer of Play My Tone, Kim de Ruiter of Cheil and Alyssa Tisne of 7digital.
