Amazon said Tuesday that it will preload a version of its Amazon MP3 store on the T-Mobile G1, the so-called “Google phone" running Google's Android OS, which launches Tuesday in New York.
The T-Mobile G1 comes pre-loaded with an Amazon MP3 application, giving customers a phone-optimized version of the Amazon MP3 store, Amazon said. While the store requires a Wi-Fi connection to purchase songs, only a cellular connection is needed to preview them.
Amazon's MP3 tracks come without DRM, allowing them to be played on the G1 or any other music player. Amazon has not altered its pricing for the MP3, charging 89 cents for 1 million of its songs, including the top 100 tracks. Amazon typically charges more for other tracks; most albums are priced between $5.99 to $9.99.
