iTunes phone

Hmmm. Tunes on phones. I can just hear it: "But, Mom, then I won't need an iPod." Yeah, right. It will store a decent number of songs, according to the BBC (with two models, 512MB or 1GB of storage, the latter holding up to 240 songs), but I hope the sound quality will be better than that of my Samsung's ringtone! "The handset due to be unveiled will reportedly be the first in a series of iTunes equipped phones made by Motorola that will be given the name 'Rokr," the BBC reports, adding that "what is unclear as yet is whether the phone will allow for music to be downloaded via wireless services or only when the gadget is connected to a computer." The UK's Times Online reminds us that there are other tune phones on the market. "Earlier this month Sony released its first Walkman phone, an attempt to revive the iconic brand that dominated the 1980s in the same way as the iPod has become the must-have gadget of the 2000s."
