More on the iTunes Cell Phone

andyring writes "According to PC Magazine, a Motorola exec demoed the rumored iTunes cell phone. According to the article, the phone syncs with a computer and the iTunes Music Store like an iPod does, and incorporates the iPod interface for navigating and playing digital music." We've mentioned this before.

    Well, it may be wireless, but I bet it still has less space than a Nomad!

    I think that people who already shelled out cash for an I-pod aren't going to rush out and buy this now. It's going to be a toy for the rich. Plus, quite frankly, most people want to be able to download free music to their MP3 player, and this sounds like it can only use I-Tunes store. I doubt that it will be popular.

    I-Don't know about that.

    before this item gets added to that crazy iPod/iTMS lawsuit?

    Plaintiff: But your honor, Apple is now in collusion with Motorola to extend their monopoly. Not only am I forced to buy an iPod to use iTMS, but now....I have to buy a phone too! Will the insanity never end?

    What an idea! You know, I bet this would work for other devices as well. I could probably take a GBA and put a cellphone on it.

    Excuse me while I bouce this off Nokia's marketing department. BRB.

    Right. And when you're listening to music on your iPhone, and it rings...will you be able to tell if its just another song, or an incoming call?
