Apple Confirming long-standing rumours, Apple has today announced the iTunes-enabled phone together with Motorola in a special press event. The phone will automatically pause when you get a call, explained Jobs. The ROKR can only hold about 100 songs, according to Jobs. "The way we think of this phone is, it's really an iPod shuffle on your phone," he explained. "Both devices can shuffle, both can autofill, neither has a click wheel - but the phone has a display." Meanwhile, Microsoft joins hands with Orange to challenge Apple Motorola iTunes Phone.

Not such a big deal

Listen you buy a cell phone to make/recieve phone calls, all this other stuff is just extras and wastes your battery.

For me 100 songs is just about worthless, I have over 7000 songs and I like to listen to anyone I please whenever I please and for 8 hours or more.

I quickly got tired of charging up my iPod shuffle, now I only use it to go fishing or other hard drive risky behavior.

The best option is a iPod that you can take it all anywhere. Especially on a noisy plane flight with a pair of good noise cancellation headphones with cushy over the ear comfort.

It totally reduces the stress of air flight down and I highly recommend it.

This Moto phone deal just helps ITMS music owners to buy a Moto phone, that's all.
