Motorola iTunes Mobile Phone - in July?

Gizmodo posted what appear to be screenshots from the development version if iTunes Mobile. The iTunes-enabled Motorola phone is expected to arrive in mid-July according to an email posted by Gizmodo.

Apple and Motorola announced the plans for an iTunes-compatible Motorola cellphone back in July 2004. The phone, however, has seen delays attributed to reluctance from mobile carries from supporting the phone.

Most recent comments from Motorola's CEO placed the phone's delivery "in the next few months".

I'm not overly impressed. I've had a Motorola phone since the StarTac and I'll be honest... their software is kind of goofy. It works fine, but it's kind of clumsy. I was hoping to see some major improvements from Motorola with the help of Apple, but it seems to me this is just an iTunes Mobile app running on top of Motorola's sub-par software.

Sigh... I'm hoping for more.

Any pics of the actual phone, and not just the UI?

What's the likelyhood of thie making it into other vendor's phones?

Anyway, I wonder who would really use their phone as an "iPod" if you will.

Anyone?

Don't you think you need another hardware interface? I was basically hoping for an iPod with phone capabilities and not the other way around.

It's got that ugly Moto font... I hope it adopts iPod photo font, which looks much nicer.

Yeah, I don't really care about this for some reason. The marriage of iTunes and a cellphone just isn't hitting the geek factor for me.

And you can gosh darn well bet that SprintPCS won't be using that phone for the next 5 years, and we're still trying to teach them about the magical technology known as "bluetooth"

I would... assuming it would be more of an iPod than phone. I doubt that a phone that can play music will be a hit. More or less all new phones from Nokia and SE can do that. An iPod that double as a phone would be a different story though
