iTunes Phone

The new iTunes compatible E1060 mobile phone form Motorola is now being debuted at 3GSM, the worldÕs largest mobile trade show.

A fully functional java based version of the popular iTunes digital music software from Apple is included with the phone. This software allows users to sync with their PCÕs iTunes library and then have a limited number of songs with them on their cell phone.

Although Motorola and Apple have worked together for a long time, the introduction of iTunes to MotorolaÕs cell phones is not an exclusive deal. Motorola VP Amer Husaini mentioned, ÒWe're committed to have iTunes as the default music client, but we'll also continue to support other music players such as RealPlayer.Ó

Both Microsoft and Sony have also previously confirmed plans to integrate their digital music services into mobile phones as well. Sony Ericsson will leverage the Walkman brand and the music catalogue of its sister company Sony BMG. Nokia, on the other hand, is working with Microsoft for integrating a digital music player onto the mobile phone.
