OK, I'll just come right out and say it: I have it on good authority that Motorola and Apple are about to release the first cell phone to run iTunes, marking a massive milestone in the race to sell digital music on the cell phone platform. The announcement could come as early as tonight, at the opening night of the CeBIT conference in Hannover, Germany. The other possibility is that the two partners will spring it on us at the CTIA conference, which starts this Sunday (March 13).

Should be some great background music while on hold

Apple strikes first again....

I hope they only play through headphones or we are all going to go nuts.

I heard they are also working on a follow-up unit.

It's called the iFone shuffle. Any time you want to make a call, it will pick someone from your phonebook at random.

I can hardly wait until I load up my iFone with my fave songs, and assign them as ring tunes to my various contacts.

Of course, I'm going to look kind of stupid trying to answer my iFone every time the "Spongebob Squarepants" theme plays via the shuffle feature, rather than because my psychiatrist is calling.
