Apple And Motorola Developing iTunes-Ready Phone
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 05:00 AM
"Apple Computer and Motorola may soon show the mobile phone they are developing to play music purchased from Apple's iTunes online music store, reports Forbes. "We've said we have something coming on this in the first half of 2005 and we're definitely on schedule for that. Hopefully you'll be able to see more about it soon," says Eddy Cue, vice president in charge of applications at Apple. "What we've talked about is a something that is valuable for the mass market," Cue added. "It has to be a phone in the middle-tier of the market, not a $500-tier phone. It has to be very seamless to use. And we're very happy with the results."
It will be interesting to see what this partnership between Apple and Motorola finally yields. Many Apple fans are speculating that an Apple branded phone or "iPhone" is in the works, which I strongly doubt. If iTunes is being developed solely for Moto phones or one particular model, then I don't see it taking off.
