More on the iTunes Cell Phone

Posted by michael on from the only-99-cents-cheap dept.

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.

  1. Worst of both worlds by DrKyle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Take a cellphone I have to charge every day and add an mp3 player that gets charged every day and I'm willing to be that doesn't make 2 days worth of charge. When will convergence end and manufacturers just give me one thing that works well for a long time? Next they'll add video playback that will kill the battery in less time than to watch a movie.

      Good thing you don't have to buy one!

      Seriously, if you are tired of new features taking up battery life, then don't use the feature or buy a phone with it.

    Why spend upwards of 2 bucks for a crap ringtone when we could (assuming it supports this feature) use actual song snippets

    You're listening to music, you have an incoming call... and then what? You can't talk to somebody and listen to music at the same time.

    ...Maybe...you could "pause" the music?
