Apple's new iPhone could challenge the hopes of Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel to grow their own mobile music stores.

While it's obvious that mobile handset makers such as Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola or LG, which all make music-playing handsets, will see the new iPhone as a threat, wireless operators and Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel, which have built their own virtual stores for downloading music, might also be threatened by the new product.
