What a news !! Apple announced, at last, the first mobile phone with iTunes support, the Motorola ROKR. This cell phone can store up to 100 songs (yes ONE HUNDRED songs !!!), and pauses music automatically when a call comes. The Apple RokR phone is available for $250.
What's more to say about this Apple special event...nothing.
