In an effort not to get left behind in the next digital shift from desktop to mobile (like they almost were in the shift from CD to MP3), musicians are starting to proactively look at ways to get onto cell phones.
MySpaces iLike built tools for artists to easily design their own iPhone apps. The concept didnt really take off, but some notable acts were on board initially.
A development team called When Im Mobile is also working with bands to create and drive interest to mobile-designed pages. In January, it launched ToriMobile, a version of Tori Sparks artist site designed for phones.
