Nokia answers ROKR with Music Pack

Nokia has announced a Music Pack to further sweeten the MP3 player capabilities of compatible Pop-port enabled handsets. Visit the Music Pack homepage or read the specs and FAQ.

What you get in the pack:

• Nokia Audio Adapter AD-15 (lets you plug in standard 3.5mm headphones)
• Nokia 256MB MMCmobile card MU-9 (you can up this yourself to 1GB RS-MMC if you need more space for tunes)
• Nokia Stereo Audio Cable CA-72U (converts the Audio Adapter output into RCA connectors to plug into a stereo system)
• Nokia USB MMC/SD reader DD-10 (an MMC and SD card reader, for loading tunes onto the RS-MMC card)

Music Pack has apparently only been announced for EMEA availability so far, but marry the pack with a 1GB RS-MMC and a 6630 or 6682, though, and you’re getting awfully close to what I believe a successful cellpod needs.

Is this a carefully timed response to ROKR E1 destined to be available in other geos too sometime soon? You be the judge.
