MusiKube helps Windows Mobile users find music

Now this is an innovative idea. An article on Infosync announces the a joint solution between Microsoft and Musikube. From what I can gather, anyone with a PPC or Smartphone can walk through a retail store and listen and gain information on media products using the barcode and the PPC or smartphone device. That's pretty cool.
Will this help you buy music and other media?
New York-based MusiKube, a developer of music recognition and discovery solutions, today announced an integrated Music Discovery solution for Windows Mobile 2003 software for Smartphones and Pocket PCs. MusiKube and Microsoft will jointly demonstrate technologies that enable richer enjoyment of music discovery and music interest capture. Microsoft is the lead sponsor of MusiKube's launch event and concert at CTIA, featuring Alanis Morissette, to showcase this new solution.

The MusiKube PMG is a wireless music discovery system for music retailers that uses a customized personal digital assistant, and a proprietary Media Platform encompassing licensed samples of millions of songs, album reviews and related content, to give consumers the ability to scan barcodes in a store and receive a personalized and interactive music discovery experience.
Whether captured via audio or barcode scanned, once a song has been identified through the iCapture service, consumers can open links and listen to song samples, receive recommendations, share the information with their friends and buy related products, such as ringtones, 'truetones' and digital downloads - directly on their Windows Mobile-based device. A full list of all identified songs and albums can also be viewed, sampled and purchased from the MusiKube Website along with related products such as monophonic, polyphonic and 'true tones' ringtones through MusiKube's fulfillment partners.
