Apple will create a new iTunes mobile music player, which Motorola will make the standard music application on all their mass-market music phones, expected to be available in the first half of next year. Click the link to the PR and note the URL. Or try iphone.org... something's happening here...is Apple playing a much bigger role in Motorola's seamless mobility drive?? Mike Davidson makes the case for the Apple iPhone:

"...the two killer apps of the iPhone will be the music player and Mobile iSync. Many Apple users don’t use .Mac right now because there is no compelling reason to do so. With .Mac synching built into the iPhone via iSync, $99 a year doesn’t seem so bad anymore. Especially considering that Apple’s data plan could include many mobile browsing niceties like a mini-Safari-KHTML browser, Dashboard-like applications, and a nice native mail/newsreader.

It’s the clearest sign yet that Apple is waking up to the cell phone industry. With Cupertino handling the hardware design and UI and Motorola engineering the circuitry and infrastructure, we could have a real product on our hands pretty quickly here".
