Motorola og Apple annonserte i går at de planlegger et nytt samarbeid. Dette samarbeidet går ut på at Apple og Motorola skal gjøre det enkelt å overføre musikk fra iTunes til Motorola sin neste generasjon mobiltelefoner via USB eller Blåtann. Apple vil komme til å lage en egen mobiltelefonversjon av iTunes, som Motorola vil komme til å bruke som standard musikkavspillingsprogram på alle sine nye mobiltelefoner. Dette ventes å være tilgjengelig i løpet av første halvdel av neste år.
"We can't think of a more natural partnership than this one with Apple, the brand synonymous with easy-to-use, legal music downloading, and Motorola, the innovator in mobile technology," said Ed Zander, Chairman and CEO, Motorola. "Being able to transfer songs you've purchased from iTunes to Motorola mobile handsets expands the market reach for both of us and drives new revenue for customers, delivering an amazing music experience to millions of wireless users."
"We are thrilled to be working with Motorola to enable millions of music lovers to transfer any of their favorite songs from iTunes on their PC or Mac to Motorola's next-generation mobile phones," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "The mobile phone market--with 1.5 billion subscribers expected worldwide by the end of 2004--is a phenomenal opportunity to get iTunes in the hands of even more music lovers around the world and we think Motorola is the ideal partner to kick this off."
