Disappointing Results for Motorola iTunes Phone
"According to Bloomberg, a provider of market data, news and analytics, Motorola's iTunes music phone, developed with Apple and unveiled last month may not be performing as expected. As many as six times more customers are returning the Rokr phones than is normal for new handsets, according to American Technology Research analyst Albert Lin, who said he talked to distributors, retailers and call center workers at Cingular Wireless LLC, which sells the phone in America. Motorola Chief Executive Officer Ed Zander said he is disappointed with the phone's marketing and plans to fix it."
Fix it just like you fixed the MPx220 Ed? Just moments after I posted the iPod/Smartphone post I found this article. A bit off topic for this site, but I think it illustrates the point that the the marriage of the Smartphone and the "iPod" is not a forgone conclusion. That and the fact I have to gloat a bit because I predicted this phone would fall on its face. :mrgreen:
