Motorola iTunes Phone at V Festival
Telegraph.co.uk is reporting that Apple and Motorola will unveil the much discussed iTunes enabled phone next month at the V Festival of music.
More information on the V Festival can be found at their website.
Much speculation has been triggered surrounding the iTunes enabled mobile phone from Motorola. The primary unsettled issue is which wireless carrier will be offering the phone. Cingular seemed the most likely network based on circulating rumors, but some speculation suggested Apple might launch their own virtual mobile network.
The festival is one of the UK's biggest summer music events and will include performances by dozens of artists including Joss Stone.

Interesting choice in Virgin Mobile. Could apple be trying out the MVNO option and see how well it works, or did someone just assume if apple was using a MVNO prodiver it would be their own.
Also, would apple go with Virgin in the US as well along with Cingular or just in the UK.
If in fact they did unvail it there would it be coupled with an event in the US or just show it without an event. I'm just wondering if apple is going to make a huge deal out of it, or just let motorola handle it??

Seems odd that Virgin would back iTunes and therefore iTMS when it has it's own download store.
I wonder if they're throwing in the towel on the downloads for the kudos of offering the iTunes phone hoping for the halo effect to win more customers for their phone service.
While I'm looking forward to seeing the phone (but prepared to be disappointed) I won't even be able to get it discounted cause my local carrier has a monopoly and doesn't do package deals on contracts and phones. :mad:

It seems like the "announcement" keeps getting delayed.
I wonder if this rumour is for real.

Wow... um, everybody is gonna want an iPhone.
If Apple had a phone service, I wonder how it would sync with .mac.
Yep, no useful observations here.

Well it would be cool to have a product launched in the UK for once!
Virgin seems like an unlikely network (I'm assuming a launch at V woudl imply some sort of partnership with virgin...)what with vrigin megastores and all :s ah well....Would love to see an apple network but that seems even more unlikely

That article doesn't quote any sources, or say "Motorola has announced" or anything, so I don't think you can take it too seriously.

Building a network around a single Motorola phone would be a waste of time.
