CES: Motorola Leaks iTunes Phone Image
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 02:41 PM
"During a presentation Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show, a Motorola executive previewed the upcoming mobile phone that the company is jointly developing with Apple Computer. The iTunes-compatible phone in many ways mimics the iPod, according to a first-hand PC Magazine report. "It syncs with a computer and the iTunes Music Store like an iPod does, and incorporates the iPod interface for navigating and playing digital music," said Ron Garriques, a Motorola executive vice president."
Cool looking phone, but it reminds me of the Sony-Ericsson T-series models. I was rather hoping it would have a more "iPodish" look and feel. :(
UPDATE: AppleInsider has updated this story and sheds some new light on the matter. Apparently this phone is not the iPhone after all, but rather a reference design that Motorola used for demonstration purposes. This indicates that Apple..or rather Steve Jobs, is going to announce iPhone at MacWorld. And that can mean only one thing; it's going to be a special phone designed by Apple. Excited now? Good. :)
