With 25-Song Capacity, iTunes Phone "May Underwhelm", Forbes Reports
Tuesday, August 30th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Gibson
The much talked about, but still as yet un-announced iTunes-ready mobile phone, may turn out to be more of a disappointment, Forbes magazine warned late Wednesday.
In an online report, a magazine source who was said to have seen a functional version of the product said the phone will ship with limited memory and hold only 25 songs.
"While it should be possible to swap out the memory card on the new iTunes phone for one with more capacity, the person who has seen the handset says the phone's software appears to artificially cap song storage at 25 songs, regardless of how much memory the phone has," the report said.
The report warned that it was possible the source saw an early version of the product and that either an improved version or various versions might be in the offing.
The report also said the plan is to offer customers the ability to download songs tthey purchase over the air, rather than load songs they already own from their PCs. "People familiar with the...plans say prices will be upwards of US$2 per song," the report said. Apple's iTunes online service charges 99 cents per song.
It is expected Apple will announce the new device at a planned event on September 7.
