| The (HAHAHAHHAHA) iTunes phone! Holy cow, is this one big piece of fugly! Looks like an attachment to the Xbox! I have a hard time believing that this is the iTunes phone--I also have a hard time believing that AppleInsider would post this crap.

| If Apple has anything to do with the design (and I hope they do), I forsee something slightly narrower the the iPod, with the scrollwheel section flipping down or sliding down to reveal the keypad. Scrollwheel could be used when the phone is closed to scroll through contacts as well as songs. Possibly more rounded off corners, as well.

| These things are destined to have horrible battery life. The iPod saves power by spinning up the drive for short periods and filling up the ram. This thing has to power the cell phone also. And now your music gets interrupted everytime someone calls you, texts you and everything in between.
I'd rather see a mobile version of itunes that could talk to a bt equipped iPod so if I HAD to have a song on the road on my iPod it could be done that way.
But that would require changes to desktop iTunes that Apple and content owners may frown upon. | |

The iPod saves power by spinning up the drive for short periods and filling up the ram. i'm betting it will use the same flash memory for storage like the ipod shuffle, which gets very good battery life and can hold just enough songs to be worth it, maybe they could have 2 batteries in there to avoid the problem altogether? 1 shuffle battery and 1 cell phone battery, which charge at the same time with 1 charger?
