- Research In Motion may roll out BBM Music, a new music service designed to work with BlackBerry Messenger, as early as this week.
- RIM has nearly completed deals for the service with Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group, Sony Corp.’s Sony Music Entertainment, Access Industries Inc.’s Warner Music Group, and EMI Group Ltd.
- Subscribers would only get access to 50 songs but they can share them with other Blackberry Messenger users.
- The service will reportedly cost less than $10/month and is not intended to compete with the likes of iTunes or Spotify. “Instead, the BlackBerry service is supposed to help younger users ‘customize’ their phones and share their songs with friends.,” reports The Wall Street Journal.

RIM is late to the party, the problem isn’t so much music content, but a lack of apps and innovative hardware. It’s seems that adding music to Blackberry is really just grasping at straws.
