So after months of speculation and delayed launch dates, the i-tunes phone is released – and its a lemon !
An ugly old Motorola phone, the MotoROKR phone does not allow you to download music via a mobile network, you cannot sync songs using bluetooth and it has a Motorola user interface – remember no two Motorola phones have the same UI !!
Even during Steves Jobs demo, he came unstuck trying to use it.
The new iPod nano of the other hand is just THE thing to lust after, a very small flash-memory based iPod photo – I bought mine today at the Apple Store in London and I can’t stop just picking it up and playing with it – the design is just magical !!
If anyone every needed a lesson in the importance of industrial design this is it – I expect the iPod to continue to dominate the market, everybody will want a nano, and the ROKR will disappear.
