**"The labels love Kik because it targets a demo that never paid for music."** – Ted Livingston, Kik 

Originally launched as Unsynced, a utility for managing music on The Blackberry, [Kik](http://kik.com/?ref=hypebot.com) will enable free and legal mobile playback and playlisting. After three free plays the user gets three options: buy a 99 cent mp3, that can be moved to any device, pay $9.99 a month for unlimited streaming or listen to a 5-10 second audio ad and the user can continue to enjoy the song on their phone. Playlisting and sharing with others is also enabled. Expect a Q1 Canadian and Q2 U.S. launch. ([Kik fact sheet](http://www.kik.com/kik%5Ffact%5Fsheet%5Fnov9.pdf?ref=hypebot.com).)
