iPod Nano, OTOH - wow.
Shame Apple couldn't have teamed up with a decent phone manufacturer. Everyone I know that's had a Motorola phone has hated it and said it was an unreliable POS.
'tis true. Samsung, Nokia, Sony...any of those would have been nice.
I hope Apple do their own phone.
Dance you little toad!
