Comments on: Motorola gets FCC approval for iTunes phone

But that doesn't mean the device's arrival is imminent, or that it will necessarily be the first iTunes-capable phone on the market.

Say where is the back scratcher?

Now if this phone, comes with a built in back scratcher, then maybe I'll buy it!

I want one

I have a stupid Verizon phone now and they charge $3 per song. No way sez I, since I already have an iPod. With this new phone I could synch up my already extensive library from iTunes.

The BIGGER picture here is...

the direction that Motorola is apparently heading - ultimately, not only as a handheld device manufacturer, but as a media content provider as well. Granted this first encompassing phone is a poorly represented start, but money and designers will correct it pretty quick.

However, this action presages some logical fast-moving changes from the likes of Motorola, Nokia, Qualcomm and Nextel/Sprint in the near future. Besides their own products, we will see their functional couplings to Yahoo Media Content, AOL Media and Clear Channel. New partnerships, spinoff businesses and re-directed business models. Satellite radio will also attempt an entry into this arena regardless of the fact that they ride upon a financially and operationally burdensome business model.
