iTunes phone to be based on the E680i?

Motorola E680i

Bits and pieces of information on the now legendary, yet unseen iTunes phone keep coming in — iLounge now has it that while the E790/ ROKR will indeed be an iTunes phone, it's not gonna be the iTunes phone that will make fanboys drop to their knees. The bigger deal iTunes phone will supposedly be based on the Motorola E680i, which runs on Linux, does SD/MMC storage and sports integrated stereo speakers plus support for Bluetooth headphones. Notably, it's also got a touch screen, which could magically turn into ye olde scroll wheel. What's not clear is what the UI is going to be like — we totally wouldn't put it past Apple to drop a bomb and unleash a mobile OS. And frankly, we hope they do.
