What Would Jobs Do?

BBC reports:

Speculation is reaching fever pitch about what Apple will announce in its 7 September press conference. Most pundits and analysts are expecting Apple to unveil a mobile phone that works with its iTunes music download service. But other possible candidates include a high-capacity iPod that stores songs in memory chips rather than a hard drive or an iPod that can play video.
I'm hoping it's an iTunes-equipped Segway. Early buzz, however, suggests it'll be the Motorola iTunes phone -- and it may hit stores this week. No word on how many months before its battery dies.

Seriously, that is a good point about the battery on those phones..... problems now with a regular cell phone battery and can't imagine it running too long with having iTunes on it. have to charge my old ipod constantly as it is and that has a pretty high capacity battery..
interesting to also see that Nokia (supposed #1 cell phone guy) did not strike deal with iTunes......i am sure moto will see some good response to it and start to put them ahead..

If you are a geek like me and you read Robert X. Cringely, then you know that his opinion is an iFilm movie download service is coming. How great would it be to be able to just download movies when you want to watch them.

It would make Netflix obsolete.

yeah bandwidth is never an issue these days and pretty cool idea to be able to download movies when you want from your pc or whatever...
personally i am still outdated in the sense that i don't want any of that shit on my cell phone. hard enough time walking and talking on it....

word is that it is the Motorola ROKR phone (itunes compatible), and a smaller iPod mini called the iPod Nano.

apple is spreading themselves thin with ipods and their whole piggy back technology. like all other empires, they too will succumb to defeat.

Oh, that's right. Netflix and TIVO working together. I stand corrected.

It makes Blockbuster obsolete? :-)
