Cingular Considering iTunes Phone
According to Reuters sources, Cingular is considering using the iTunes cellphone created by Motorola and Apple. An RBC Capital analyst has said there are current negotiations for how to work out the revenue share between the carrier and Apple. Motorola expects to ship the phone in the third quarter of this year.It was widely perceived that the phone was delayed because carriers didn't want Apple to disintermediate them for music download revenue. Verizon Wireless is expected to launch their own download music service that will compete directly with Apple's iTunes. Good luck Verizon. Your web technology expertise has been pitiful to say the least.
