Music is the future
Discussed at the Cellphone Show in San Francisco:
Some analysts say the cost of adding music-organizing software and more memory will be as little as $30 a phone.
Indeed, he (Edward S. Snyder at Charter Equity Research) says he believes that over time, the huge size of the cellphone market, which he said could reach 780 million new phones sold worldwide this year, gives carriers and handset makers a chance to become the main source of portable music players.
Maybe, but then phones need to be competitive with music players. ROKR is a bad attempt at that, that can't even be used to download music from a music service.
