RealNetworks today announced that U.S. consumers can now enjoy mobile access to the Rhapsody digital music service through the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. This innovative collaboration gives Nokia N800 Internet Tablet users rapid access to Rhapsody’s three million songs anywhere they have a Wi-Fi connection.

The Rhapsody features require the new N800 firmware released last week. In addition to playback from Rhapsody’s robust music catalog, this update will enable Nokia N800 Internet Tablet users to listen to customized Rhapsody playlists, stream hundreds of professionally programmed Internet radio channels and browse Rhapsody’s critically acclaimed music editorial and album reviews.

“Giving consumers direct access to Rhapsody via their wireless Nokia N800 Internet Tablet gives new meaning to music on the go,” said Bill Plummer, Vice President, Sales & Channel Management, Multimedia, Nokia North America. “Our goal at Nokia is to make the Nokia N800 the ultimate portable Internet entertainment device, giving consumers the convenience of easy wireless access to their favorite online services beyond the confines of home.”
