iTunes goes Motorola... New convergence is born

There it is...! The new Motorola is equipped with iTunes

Long expected device is a first in a series, because one cannot see why Apple would open itself exclusively to a single manufacturer, yet, the first iTune phone is here... Yet, here it is, and a new convergence has been made possible.

The little wonder is capable to transfer "up to 100 of songs from the iTunes jukebox on their Mac or PC to their mobile phone."

“The Motorola ROKR represents the ultimate convergence of mobile communications and music,” said Ed Zander, chairman and CEO of Motorola. “Fusing iTunes with your always-with-you mobile phone, we’re revolutionizing the way the world experiences mobile self-expression and entertainment.”

"We've worked closely with Motorola to deliver the world's best music experience on a mobile phone" said Eddy Cue, vice president of iTunes. "We're also thrilled to be working with some of the largest wireless carriers in the world to bring this pioneering phone to market."

The Motorola ROKR features a color display for viewing album art, dual built-in stereo speakers and stereo headphones that also serve as a mobile headset with microphone. Music fans can randomly autofill or manually fill the mobile phone with playlists of their favorite music, audiobooks and Podcasts from their iTunes library via a USB connection. The Motorola ROKR pauses music automatically when users take a call and offers the ability to listen to music while checking messages or snapping a photo.
