I was wondering what midrange is considered? I mean, I love Apple products, but mostly because I've never had to buy one. There is definitely quality in Apple design, but it comes at a price. Is "midrange" for Apple $700? Maybe Eddie Cue was saying that there is no way an Apple phone would come out sub-$500.

I do like the idea of an Apple branded phone - a Motorola phone with Apple stylings and OS. The ease of navigation from iPod, tight interaction with a Mac including iSync. Depending on the final price, I would get one. Apple has too much to lose to screw it up.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/
Very true. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see something remarkably like the RAZR with a new OS (and the Apple logo) as the phone.

Does anyone remember the motorola phone that swiveled around a black screen with white text? Wasn't that designed by someone at Apple? (I am thinking Ives, but could be wrong). I guess there is plenty of precedent then. Still, try not to get my hopes up. As someone in the market for a new phone that will sync with my Mac, there sure aren't a lot of quality options out there.

Wow, I don't know how apple is going to sell it, a mid-range phone to go with their high range ipod. Is it just me, or is this addressed at a different market than the ipod. We'll have to see what Steve says in January.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/
Add-on accessories suck. I want it tightly integrated.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/I'm sitting right next to mine right now.
I'm still sorta' jaded how Sprint has treated this phone. Many people at Sprint stores stare wide-eyed if I bring it in - like they really didn't think it existed. I believe they only released like - a few hundred of them or something - and even *then* it was hard to find.
This time around I think I'll just wait and see what transpires rather than jumping on getting this phone when it comes out (although even *that* temptation is going to be tough)....]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Calls are shunted to the headphones(w/mic), contact info/caller id is displayed on flash player's LCD, etc...
Sounds a LOT more plausible than the "iPohne" idea...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/
What if you were downloading tunes to your iPod via the phone's interface, but using the iPod's wi-fi for the connection? Could they bypass the carriers this way? Clearly Verizon's a problem, from what I've read, but I'm thinking about how this coud be implemented uniformly on a global basis. Just a thought.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/

First of all.. the cheapest mac you can get is 800 bucks.. and it's decent.. Apple has said time and time again, they see no point in competing with eMachines for the low end stuff.. most people get the iMac which starts at 1300 US.. you think that's overboard? That's mid-range for Apple.. and the high-end is 2000-3000 for, basically, a dual 2-2.5 gig G5 chip (equivalent to around 3.4-3.8 gig Intel)

Now that we've got that out of the way.. they said 500 is not gonna happen and it'll be mid range.. okay? that means it's gonna be 199-250 phone..?

Happy?

Great..]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/

The phone has the flash media which has been confirmed to go to apple, this memory will store lets say 12 songs (when i say lets, I mean Steve Jobs said this in July)..so an album. This phone will play music through head phones, then act like any other cell phone out there today...but with the bluetooth, and/or a cable will sync to iTunes. So you will "mount" this phone just like your ipod, and it will show up in iTunes just like your iPod. So you will transfer "purchased" songs from ITMS to your "iPhone" via iTunes.
Remember apple said they don't want this to compete with the ipod, just compliment it...so you leave your ipod in the car, but listen to music through your phone while on the elevator going to work.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/apple-and-moto-announce-partnership-on-cellphone/
