Motorola discusses ROKR

A Motorola representative today answered questions in an interview about the new ROKR iTunes mobile phone, pointing to the possibility of a 3G version and leaving the door open for future partnerships with firms such as Napster. Motorola general manager of regional operators retail and distribution for Western Europe, Carson Schmidt, stated in an that "iPod users will also feel right at home as the interface is identical to the music player." The ROKR is not intended to replace the iPod, according to Schmidt, and like the iPod shuffle the device can be auto-filled from larger music collections. Schmidt, when asked if Motorola will likely create a phone that will support other download stores like Napster, said that "we are exploring other avenues with other partners but nothing is planned at the moment."
