Yeah...

Slightly disappointing, to say the least. It goes without saying that Apple always wins hands down when it comes to industrial design.

Ah well. Perhaps this is just the beginning. I for one would like to see a Sony Ericsson iTunes phone, but know that given the parent company's not-made-here syndrome, it will likely never come to pass.

Working with music and hollywood at my old job, I quickly realized there's a difference between what will sell and what can legally happen.

The cell phone folks are just as protective over their turf, and probably held Apple back pretty significantly.

Jeff Croft says:

What did you all expect? Everyone knew ahead of time the phone was a Moto, not an Apple product. Of course it looks like a Moto phone. Of course it's not revolutionary -- MP3 phones have been out for years now. This isn't a big deal -- and you shouldn't have expected it to be.

Apple may have some other exciting announcements up its selve for today, but anyone who really thought this Motorola (NOT APPLE) phone would be incredibly exciting was fooling themselves from the begining.

Basically for everyone struggling to get the news here it is from Macworld, copyright to them etc bs bs bs bs, if their servers can't get the people the news I WILL!

Our live coverage is being updated continuously throughout the event. Please hit your browser's "Refresh" button to see the latest update.

Last week Apple sent press and VIPs invitations to a special event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif. Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage this morning to welcome attendees.

"Thank you all for coming and welcome to our music event today," Jobs said. "Apple's leading the digital music revolution, but at its core, it's all about the music. I just want to recognize a good friend of mine and incredible musician in the audience today, 16-time grammy award winner, the incomparable Yo Yo Ma."

State of the Union

Jobs told the crowd that Apple has sold more than half a billion songs through its iTunes Music Store to date. "We are selling songs at a rate of 1.8 million songs per day," he explained. "iTunes has an 82 percent market share here in the US."

Jobs reiterated an Apple press release offered earlier today that it has 80 percent of the legitimate online music download market in the UK, and said that iTunes is doing "extremely well around the world." There are iTunes Music Stores in 20 countries, he said, representing 85 percent of the global music market.

Apple recently began supporting podcasts through iTunes, and Jobs told the crowd that the service now feature more than 15,000 podcasts in its directory, growing by 1,000 per week. More than 7 million podcast subscriptions have been made to date. "This phenomenon is just exploding," he said.

The iTunes Music Store now has more than 2 million songs, said Jobs, the larget online music library in the world. "We've never shared [this] with anyone before: How many accounts do we have on itunes? We have just crossed 10 million accounts. And they come with credit cards," said Jobs.

The average iTunes account holder has purchased 60 songs, said Jobs, and most of them have been added in the past year. "That makes iTunes one of the largest internet stores in the world," he said.

Jobs spoke about new additions to the iTunes' audiobook collection, including the complete Harry Potter set. He also introduced a collectibe iPod engraved with a Hogwarts crest -- Hogwarts is the school that fictional magician Harry Potter goes to.

Jobs then introduced famed pop star Madonna in a transcontinental live chat using iChat AV. Connected from London, Madonna explained that she "tried to hold out as long as possible. But I got tired of not being able to download my own music." Madonna and Steve Jobs announced that all fifteen of her albums will be available for purchase and download through iTunes, by album and by song.

iTunes 5

Jobs then rolled out iTunes 5, an update to the popular software Apple makes available for Mac and Windows users alike. He described the new version's interface as sporting "a little bit of a refined look." It's available today as a free download from Apple's Web site.

Users can now organize playlists into folders, and new search capabilities have been added. Windows users can now automatically synchronize contact and calendar information using iTunes 5 and Microsoft's Outlook and Outlook Express software.

A "Smart Shuffle" feature has been added that lets users control how likely they are to hear multiple songs from the same artist or the same album using a preference slider. "We've got a lot of people saying our shuffle is not random," mused Jobs.

Parental controls have also been added to help parents restrict purchases of music that contains explicit lyrics through the iTunes Music Store.

iTunes Phone - Motorola ROKR, exclusive to Cingular

Jobs also used today's event to unveil the first iTunes-compatible cell phone, the Motorola ROKR. "You've probably heard about this," Jobs said, a reference to the speculation that has run rampant prior to today's event.

The phone will automatically pause when you get a call, explained Jobs. Songs are transferred through a USB cable.

The ROKR can only hold about 100 songs, according to Jobs. "The way we think of this phone is, it's really an iPod shuffle on your phone," he explained. Both devices can shuffle, both can autofill, neither has a click wheel -- but the phone has a display.

Madonna and other musicians are also being tapped to shill the new ROKR in a Motorola advertising campaign set to begin later this week, showing them in a phone booth out in the desert. There will also be a billboard campaign from Cingular featuring slogans like "Kiss + tell," "Smashblabbermouth" and "Matthew Sweet talk," along with a television ad campaign in both English and Spanish.

"A great phone with an iTunes client is half the story," said Jobs. "What we're adding to that is the number one wireless carrier in North America. Cingular will be the exclusive provider of this phone in North America." Jobs then introduced Ralph de la Vega, Cingular's Chief Operating Officer.

"We have a vision, working with Apple and Motorola, about convergence between entertainment, computers, and communications, coming together and forming a real product," said de la Vega. "There have been a lot of rumors about this product, but today, the talk ends and the music begins. You're going to get your songs on your phone, anywhere you want them, any time you want them, with the world's best music service, brought to you by Motorola and Cingular."

If this is what the brouhaha is all about, the Motorola E815 already has MP3 player capability. The only thing is you just have to load it onto a memory card. Buying tunes directly to your phone isn't that big of a deal, in my opinion. A video iPod, however, is.

iPod nano

After summarizing the existing iPod product line, Jobs explained that the iPod mini is what all of Apple's competitors are aiming for. Apple is "going to do something pretty bold," he said. Apple is "replacing it with something new."

Jobs calls the iPod nano "an entirely new ground-up design, that also has 1000 songs in your pocket." The white device features a color display and can support photos, uses a grey click wheel to navigate, and is 80 percent smaller in volume than the original iPod -- thinner than a number two pencil, said Jobs. The iPod nano weighs 1.5 ounces or 42 grams

Compared to the iPod mini, the iPod nano is half the thickness and 62 percent smaller by volume. It uses a 30-pin dock connector, so the iPod nano plugs in to existing iPod accessories, and can also connect using USB 2.0. It features a 14-hour rechargeable abattery.

The iPod nano also features a new graphical clock, games, stopwatch and lap timer, and a screen lock that uses the click wheel like a combination lock.

Engadget: 1:43pm - “Today, we’re gonna focus on the iPod mini.” Most popular mp3 player in the world. “Today, we’re going to do something pretty bold… we’re going to replace it.”

1:44pm - The iPod nano. 1000 songs.

1:45pm - It has a color display and a click wheel. Looks like a shrunken iPod photo.

But I want to hear more about this iPod nano...
