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."

    Regarding your Winston Churchill quote, Lars... you're the first person I've encountered who doesn't buy into the Anglo-American myth that Churchill was a genius who defended "freedom". That fucker and his father wreaked unwanted havoc in my homeland (Ireland). "Defense of small nations" my arse. While his crew was off fighting wars to defend "little Belgium" they were simultaneously shooting Irish citizens dead in their own streets.
