Motorola ROKR E1 now available

-
Motorola Inc. and Apple announced the availability of the world’s first mobile phone with iTunes, enabling music lovers in Philippines, Australia, Singapore and Israel to transfer up to 50 of their favorite songs from the iTunes jukebox on their Mac or PC to their mobile phone. 

The Motorola ROKR E1 features easy-to-use menus, simple navigation and playback, and the ability to simply switch from listening to music to talking on the phone and back again with the push of a dedicated music key. 

"The Motorola ROKR represents the ultimate convergence of mobile communications and music," said Ed Zander, chairman and CEO of Motorola.

"Fusing iTunes with your always-with-you mobile phone, we’re revolutionizing the way the world experiences mobile self-expression and entertainment," he added.

"We’ve worked closely with Motorola to deliver the world’s best music experience on a Motorola mobile phone," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. 

"We’re also thrilled to be working with our partners globally to bring this pioneering phone to market," he said.

The Motorola ROKR E1 features a color display for viewing album art, dual built-in stereo speakers and stereo headphones that also serve as a mobile headset with microphone.

Music fans can randomly autofill or manually fill the mobile phone with playlists of their favorite music, audiobooks and podcasts from their iTunes library via a USB connection.

The Motorola ROKR E1 pauses music automatically when users take a call and offers the ability to listen to music while checking messages or snapping a photo. 

Motorola pioneered mobile technology in the 1930s with car radios and public safety radio networks, and space-to earth communications for the Apollo program. 

In the 1980s, Motorola revolu-tionized personalized communica-tions with the first commercial handheld cellular phone.

Today, its new smart devices, networks and software are making communications not just mobile, but seamless.

Continuously redefining "the device formerly known as the mobile phone," Motorola also leads the industry in design, with award-winning products like the iconic RAZR.
