Maybe, Just Maybe, an iTunes Phone?
For as hyped up a product as it is, the Motorola iTunes phone is certainly running behind schedule. It was at Macworld Expo that Steve Jobs first talked about the new product, and ever since then the Apple rumor sites have been turning out countless rumors about its "upcoming" release.
Now, after so much waiting, we have another rumor. This week, Apple announced that it would be making a momentous digital music announcement on Wednesday, September 7. It is unknown whether this press event will even concern the long-awaited iTunes phone, but analysts and industry insiders alike believe that the time is right for such a release from Apple.
It has also been reported that Cingular may be the first carrier to incorporate the iTunes phone into its lineup, and that the company may even be working on something more than just servicing the new model. Sources say that Apple and Cingular could be working on a wireless version of the iTunes Music Store, allowing music purchases and downloads to be carried out straight from the mobile phone's interface.
While still unconfirmed, these rumors definitely suggest that Apple may have quite a bit up its sleeve for the Wednesday event.
