Apple and Motorola to Enable iTunes on Cell Phones

Apple and Motorola late yesterday announced they are working together to allow millions of music lovers to transfer their favorite songs from iTunes on their PC or Mac, including songs from Apple's iTunes Music Store, to Motorola’s next-generation “always with you” mobile cell phones. The transfer may be made via a USB or Bluetooth connection. Apple will create a new iTunes mobile music player, which Motorola will make the standard music application on all their mass-market music phones, expected to be available in the first half of next year. Hopefully, Moto's new phones will rise to the level of Sony-Ericsson and Nokia. Here is the Apple-Moto press release. [Dana Baggett]
