At CES last week, Verizon Wireless launched its V CAST music service for mobile phones using Microsoft’s Windows Media technology. Now Engadget points to PCS Intel who is reporting that installing V CAST removes a phone’s previous ability to play ordinary MP3 files such as those acquired from Apple’s iTunes store or created from a personal CD collection without a conversion to Windows Media formats.
Update: The final resolution of this was that Microsoft is not blocking MP3′s, it was a design choice by Verizon.
