More on Apple/Motorola Joint Cell Phone Venture

1+(smarterThanYou) writes "Forbes.com has an article with updates on the previous Slashdot story on the Motorola/Apple iTunes compatible mobile phone. 'Apple Computer and Motorola could soon show us the mobile phone they are developing to play music purchased from Apple's iTunes online music store. '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.'" Theories about this device showing up at the next MacWorld Expo abound.

    Oh, great.

    With all these people buying iPod's solely because they're a 'status symbol'... remember cellphones in 96-01.... combine the two and you have the ULTIMATE LOOK COOL DEVICE

    I can see it now, a poor kid taking out his iPhone and talking into it (with nobody on the other line, of course) pretending to look cool....

    With Nextel's network going away in the next few years moto needs a major new source or revenue.

    I'll buy it if it works with Cingular. I'm thinking about buying some black turtlenecks also. Naming my cat "Steve", getting an Apple tattoo on my arm, and building a shrine to Steve Jobs are all starting to sound like good Ideas as well... Maybe I should turn off my Apple, I'm starting to feel rather "cultish".

    I have been breathing manually for seven years now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

    I would have applauded your efforts to bring others to this powerful state of mind, but you have sullied the pureness of this discipline, and degraded the beauty of this ability with your comment about Apple.

    Don't think about how disappointed I am. You are my troll-bitch.

    About that #14... is there a reason behind it, or did U2 really think that it was 4?

    For those who don't know, in U2's "Vertigo," Bono chants at the beginning of the song "uno dos tres quatorce (sp?)" which is "1 2 3 14 in spanish... strange.

    I think it has something to do with the number of records (albums + EPs) that U2 has released, "HOWTO Dismantle an atomic bomb" being the 14th. Not sure, but I sure as hell reacted when I first heard the count up. :)

    Actually, you can buy official U2 t-shirts with "1, 2, 3, 14" on them, so it's very much intentional. It's the number of albums they've done and although Vertigo is not the title track of the album, it was the first single to be released from it.
