PHONE GIANT Motorola has dumped Apple’s iTunes, and a lot of its technical problems, from its ROKR E2 phone.

I wonder what those technical problems were.

The only problems listed are not really problems with tech, but more problems of self imposed limitation. The 100 song limit imposed by Apple's strong arm(which I've maintained is more forceful than MS's) and the way it looks, which is an issue of vanity.

I'm gonna have to give my dad a hard time about this.........

One of its technical problems is that it's butt-ugly.

"Screw the Nano. What the hell does the Nano do? Who listens to 1,000 songs? ... And we know that they [Apple] are going to build a smart phone - it's only a matter of time." - Motorola CEO Ed Zander, September 2005

Apple dumped Motorola. Perhaps they'll announce the iPhone next week.

Your link has odd comments by the moto ceo, but being dropped by apple it does not say.
