Motorola Cell Phones Set to Play iTunes

[RedEarth]

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Music listeners will soon be able to transfer songs they buy from Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes music store to Motorola Inc. cell phones.

The companies announced plans late Monday for Apple to create a new iTunes mobile music player that can transfer songs to Motorola mass market cell phones. At the iTunes online music store, customers can buy and share individual songs from a set list.


The new service will enable users to transfer songs from their computers to Motorola mobile handsets with a USB port or Bluetooth wireless connection.


The service is expected to become available in the first half of 2005.

3. Why carry two gadgets?

They already have one with an FM radio in it...

And web browsers, and email programs, and they act as pagers, and as calenders, and alarm clocks, and game machines and calculators...

Seriously, why carry a dozen gadgets around with you when you can pack all of that into the one?
