From Starbucks to Verizon

Now that coffee shops can do the job of the record labels, it's a natural that mobile phone carriers should be in on the act as well. A piece from Billboard tells us that Timbaland has cut a deal with Verizon in the States to produce a 'mobile album':

Timbaland says the deal will let him reach more fans because "every place don't get a CD [but] everybody has a mobile phone."

The bloke must be a genius :-)
