that seems useful for all the people that don't have the money to buy an iPod, but still want to listen to music.

woah, cool.
sounds like there will be come cool ringtones in the future. Too bad I've been a recently converted Nokia-man. Though my V300 Motorola wasn't all that bad.

YES! This is the kind of news we love to hear! Apple teaming up with other companies (esp one like Motorola (esp after knocking them off for IBM)) to make next generation software available for next generation phones.
You know what this also means?
The excellent possibilty of an iPod PDA or a Newton, or something of that sort... if Apple developes iTunes for a cell phone, imagine what they could do with it for their own (future) products!
iPhone, welcome to planet Jobs.

i wonder if a current phone like the e398 would be able to download use the itunes application, through a firmware upgrade or just download the app.
