Lack Of iTunes Phone Marketing Irks Motorola

Posted by Zonk on from the itunes-in-your-pocket dept.

Alias777 writes "Motorola has criticized Apple for not marketing three proposed new phones that will be able to play downloaded music from Apple's iTunes service. "[Steve Jobs'] perspective is that you launch a product on Sunday and sell it on Monday," says Ron Garriques, president of Motorola's mobile phone division. In response, Motorola has delayed release of the iTunes-equipped phones a few more months."

    The real reason Motorola is complaining is that Apple wanted them to market a one-button cell phone.
