I just got the Moto Razr phone three weeks ago thru Cingular, works awesome. I can already transfer complete songs using Bluetooth file exchange, the same can also be done with video that is converted into .3GP format. Photos can also be easily transferred via file exchange.
Having had many different cell phones over 10+ years now, I was really hesitant to return back to Motorola. Their phones over last 5 years were really uninspiring and lacked features and had the worst user interfaces.
Motorola really is trying to get back into first place again. The Razr is a great phone. I picked it up for the compact size, syncing and looks, I really didn't think I would use the video at all or photo that much. But, people love to see this phone and being able to show them video has been awesome. Photo capability has been much more useful than I thought it would be. Moto hit a homerun with this phone, so I have high expectations for the iTunes phone. (plus, maybe, a software upgrade to the Razr to allow syncing with iTunes)
Moto could really benefit from Apple's superior UI knowledge, and this phone will have to have some awesome features to dissuade people from choosing a Razr (as it can already have music x-ferred to it).
I beleive that this will be an introductory model using the SIM chips for storage, as the Razr already does, to get this party started, future models get hard disk with larger storage capacity. Apple wants to stop other phones from eating at iPod market shares.
Speaking ot that,
iPods are in need of an update, and this would be the perfect time, with the expected slowdown in Mac sales during the intel switch. (gotta keep the shareholders happy)
1. I am thinking the low end iPod minis get a price drop- To put a non-flash iPod within reach of people who couldn't justify buying one.
2. Color screen comes to iPod Mini(high end) and across the board on full size iPods- iPod photo moniker is dropped( it always sounded lame anyway)
3. All color screen iPods have ability to print direclty to printers via bluetooth- This also simplifies syncing of contacts and calendars via wireless, Might also work if iTunes notices you have updated a very limited number of songs to your playlist, 5 or less.
4. Bluetooth headphones- wireless, wireless, wireless.
5. BATERRY LIFE- Wow us with this one, 24+ hours please! (hope the rumours are true about 40+.
6. Video capability on high-end iPod
