"RealNetworks wants to port its expertise in desktop media downloading to mobile devices in the future. RealNetworks is launching what it is calling RealOne Mobile Guide, which will deliver news, sports and other audio, music and video clips to users with sophisticated mobile phones and wireless devices that operate with some of biggest wireless carriers in the country. The new service will work on Nokia's 3650, and RealNetworks also said it will work on PocketPC and other wireless devices in the future."
