Apple just announced a new iTunes mobile version that Motorola will load onto their "mass-market music phones" in the first half of next year. TheFeature's Carlo Longino gives his quick take on the deal:
Plenty of handsets today are capable of playing mp3s, but presumably none do it with the ease and grace — or inherent coolness — of Apple's products. It's an interesting move for Apple, which has said in the past the iTunes music store is a loss leader designed to help sell iPods. Presumably, they want to take new Moto phone users and turn them into iPod buyers… That, or this is just the first step towards the much-clamored-for wireless iPod.
