More on Apple/Motorola Joint Cell Phone Venture

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the gross-conjecture-reigns dept.

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.

    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.

    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.
