Chicago, IL, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Downloading music from the Internet is getting easier -- and cheaper. Apple Computer earlier this month introduced a $99 version of its famed iPod MP3 music player, and other developers are debuting similar low-priced products for the mass market. "Services are being launched that will allow people to purchase, download and listen to music on their cell phones," said Ephraim Cohen, a spokesman for Musiwave, a company in New York City that makes Internet music-download technologies, for Europe and, soon, the United States. -- The Web is a weekly series that examines the global telecommunications phenomenon known as the World Wide Web, by Gene Koprowski, who covers technology for UPI Science News.
