Competition Heating Up As MOG, Rdio Enter Mobile Streaming Music Market

The world of mobile streaming music just got a little more interesting as social music blog MOG and startup Rdio prepare to enter the market with apps for Android, Blackberry and iPhone users. Pitching themselves as cloud-based alternatives to the iTunes store, both companies hope to make a dent in a market which includes players like Rhapsody and Apple. Unlike Apple’s iTunes however, both MOG and Rdio offer users the ability to stream music directly to their mobile device.

Rdio, backed by Skype and Kazaa creators Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, plans to include robust social features, with the ability to share opinions and recommend songs to friends.
