Motorola iTunes phone revealed in Las Vegas

An iPod by any other name?

NEWS The Motorola-Apple tie-up is finally bearing fruit - the phone maker's iTunes-compatible handset was previewed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, according to reports.

Motorola's president of personal devices devision, Ron Garriques, gave away new details about the handset, which had been under wraps until now.

The phone comes with an iPod-style interface for users to surf their music libraries and syncs with a PC or Mac as the iTunes song shop, according to eWEEK.

Although reiterating the promise that a handset would be out this year, no release date was given, although speculation has been rife that it could well debut at the MacWorld event in San Francisco next week.

The rumour mill was given an additional boost when Eddie Cue, Apple's VP of applications, said last month that the Cupertino company was on schedule to deliver the phone in the first half of the year.

Apple declined to comment.
