The iTunes-compatible phone in many ways mimics the iPod, according to a first-hand PC Magazine report. "It syncs with a computer and the iTunes Music Store like an iPod does, and incorporates the iPod interface for navigating and playing digital music," said Ron Garriques, a Motorola executive vice president."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/itunesphone.jpg" /><br /><br />Cool looking phone, but it reminds me of the Sony-Ericsson T-series models. I was rather hoping it would have a more "iPodish" look and feel. :(<br /><br /><span style="color:red">UPDATE:</span> AppleInsider has updated this story and sheds some new light on the matter. Apparently this phone is <i>not</i> the iPhone after all, but rather a reference design that Motorola used for demonstration purposes. This indicates that Apple..or rather Steve Jobs, is going to announce iPhone at MacWorld. And that can mean only one thing; it's going to be a special phone designed by Apple. Excited now? Good. :)
