Ipod Phone

What this gadget called "Rokr"??!!

So the majority of the population around the world have a phone, and large amounts of people have some sort of MP3, and many, and ipod of some kind. However, not everyone has both rolled into one... untill now.

Apple have now reveiled the new Ipod phone, which is developed by Motarola for Apple, with abilities to call, and text people, and to video and take pictues, whilst listening to your favourite tracks. However, at the momment, with a standard 512 memory card, you can only have 100 songs, and you cannot increase the amount of songs even with a bigger card. The bbc site explains that Carsten Schmidt, European manager for Motorala's retail operations say's "There will be more coming with higher memory".

For now Rokr will only be able to download music via USB connection, from p.c to phone.. and will not be used with Itunes but just by simple dragging and dropping onto a folder.. which some might say it's easier, but ultimately it means that the music you put on is harder to syncronise, and to put in a decent order, and it will mean that the phone will be more like the rubbish (in my opinion ipod shuffle)... However, it is early days and things can only get better, and with Apple, things usually do.

The phone looks great with a colour-screen, and a silver frame, with high quality stereo speakers, and included is a VGA quality camera!!
The colour-screen gadget is silver, has stereo speakers and has a VGA quality camera onboard. This denies all rumours which I have heard, that the ipod phone cannot do more than phone and text and listen to music. However, a good negative point is that if the phone is like an ipod, the phone will run out of battery, and fast.

Overall, although the ipod phone or Rokr isn't completely up-to-date with a new technology standard, it will be improved, and at a reasonable £136 pounds (however, buyers must commit to a two year contract) in most phone shops, it not a bad buy. It is already out in america, and it will be out in UK soon... hopefully.
