Today, Verizon Wireless announced it is launching the V CAST Music service. Described as “the world’s most comprehensive music service”, V CAST will offer customers the ability to download music directly to their phones “over the air” using the Verizon network. On January 16th, Verizon will give customers immediate access to a wide range of popular titles. The new service will apparently be available as a one-month trial, with a subscription required after that. Below are two phones that will support V CAST Music right away, the LG VX8100 on the left and the Samsung a950 on the right.

According to Jason Landridge, the Treo 700w does not include the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (aka AKU v2.0) in it’s shipping form right now. The current configuration does however connect with Exchange Server for Always Up To Date (AUTD) synchronization. It also should support the original Exchange 2003 “push-mail” solution, where the Exchange server would send an SMS message to the device to trigger an AUTD sync that would pull any new email to the device.
Of course, since the device is Windows Mobile, Verizon could at any time release an AKU 2.0 update for the Treo 700w that would include the MSFP functionality.

As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
