Looks like the SE gang have a head start as Motorolas effort is having trouble getting off the ground.

CeBIT 2005 -- Motorola announced it plans to ship several phones with iTunes, the popular music jukebox software from Apple computer. As expected, Motorola is having trouble getting carriers to get excited over this phone (Apple CEO Steve Jobs made sure that the phones get loaded via the computer, not over carrier data networks):

One model, the E790, was initially scheduled for a European launch this summer, but that introduction has been delayed after discussions with operators

At least one of the iTunes phones should be able to store 8-hours of music. Earlier this month Sony Ericsson announced its first "Walkman" phone, the W800i, with 512MB of memory.

The Motorla ROKR should be shown off for the first time later this month at M3, a music conference in Miami, FL.

Not surprised Motorola is having trouble. They make terrible phones in my opinion after using a lot of them.

Bad move by Moto & iTunes. Networks will not take on these phones as they will make less money on them.

Yes but the Walkman brand is also a force to reckoned with.

walkman is know among the people, but its fading into the background with all those MP-3 devices.
and i think that the name nokia has got more value then walkman.
it all depens on who gets out first, who can supply enough, who has the best price/quality and who does the best advertising.

@Bart. The keyword here is Music, and I don't think Nokia is linked with "Music on the move" as much as the Walkman brand is, and I was really impressed with the way the W800 is packaged and marketed.

it is still a phone, and not an full MP-3 player.
people who really want music would buy an ipod.
music in a phone is nice, and should be seen as a competitor for smaller mp-3 players ipod mini style.
