HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Thursday it had no agreement with Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) for the iTunes music service to be included on its upcoming N91 multimedia phone.
But Nokia said that because of the design of the new N-series phones, software developers could readily produce programs to allow the gadgets to use services like iTunes.
'There is no commercial agreement between Nokia and Apple to integrate iTunes into the N-series devices,' said Kari Tuutti, spokesman for Nokia's multimedia division.
'But since this is based on a computer platform, anybody -- including Apple if they so wish -- can very easily develop this kind of application and offer it to consumers, via the Internet for example.'
