Motorola Enters the Market

A couple of days ago, Motorola announced a first-of-its-kind deal with Apple that would let Motorola cell phone owners play iTunes music on their phones. We didn't note it here at Player Blog because this site is geared towards devices that are full-time, high capacity MP3 players rather than devices with MP3 playback tacked on and with limited storage. Cell phones certainly fit in the latter category. However, Engadget snapped a photo at a Motorola press event of what is said to be the m500, a 5GB audio player. No word on whether it too will play iTunes music, which would be questionable given Apple's refusal to allow any devices but its own to play songs from iTMS.
