I would be surprised if it didn't look like one of their new higher-endy designy thingies.  Kinda doubt Apple would even allow a phone that looks like this sport iTunes compatibility either.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Is this the iTunes phone?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</guid><description><![CDATA[For one thing, Apple is not designing the phone. They're supposedly just designing an iTunes mobile application. Quite frankly I think this is a completely stupid idea, no matter what the design ends up looking like. Apple needs to take a similar role to the deal as Sony does in the Ericsson deal. Apple designs, and Moto takes care of the deals.<br><br>No bloody MP3 playing interface is going to make me buy an MP3 phone, let alone an overpriced and hyped up one. MP3 playing on your mobile is _not_ a killer feature.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Conrad Quilty-Harper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Is this the iTunes phone?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</guid><description><![CDATA[is it just me or does this thing look very xbox? the green glowing and the black body... very interesting, and very non-apple.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Is this the iTunes phone?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</guid><description><![CDATA[are you retarded?  why wouldn't you want a cell phone/mp3 player, it eliminates carrying two things around.

The iPod just wanted happiness and the Xbox wanted to violate the little white guy, so now we have this cross breed freak of a phone....  Sad really....

Since MOT and Samsung have already dropped this input device due to negative feedback from focus groups, I wonder how well it will be received in this new phone...  The challenge with capacitive sensors is that there is no way to customize the sensitivity of the sensor (hence all the false positives that one gets when you inadvertently touch your thumbs to your laptop's touchpad - grrr!)  Imagine how many false positives we will have to live through when we try to throw this phone/iPod into our pocket/purse/cupholder in the car...  Not sure this going to make sense for consumers...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[craig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Is this the iTunes phone?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/is-this-the-itunes-phone/</guid><description><![CDATA[ALSO - wonder about battery life.  I read in the teardown reports from Portelligent that the capacitive sensor is a power HOG using approximately 1/3 of the iPOD battery just for the input device...
