Indeed. But we may be better off without them. Naturally the speculation is a new iPhone from Apple that will kick the Rokr's butt. In fact Motorola may have known of a new phone from Apple, and decided they needed to go it alone. What do you all think?
We will have to wait and see how Motorola's music system works. It is more like a hybrid of Satelite radio and Radio365. It will be a subscription service ($7-10 a month) and it download to your phone. But they will also have the ability to play in your car and home stereo system. From what I hear this will be a little cheaper than Satelite. Craig has XM radio and he really likes it. There is a lot of variety. Plus the sports broadcasts.
One other comment. Having a shuffle on your cell phone was not what the public wants as shown by there dismal sales. The idea of a convergence of all devices on one phone has been bantered about as being the utopia but I seen many discenting views on this. It is better to have the device specialize and do it well than to sacrifice and cram it all together. In my view.

Gents,
Good commentary. I do not know for sure that phone technology is ready to be all things to all people, but I do think it will in the near future.
On the ROKR issue, I am kind of glad that they are giving up iTunes, since the phone is kind of lame.
