Early 2006, Motorola will launch a revved up version of the ROKR handset AKA the first itunes phone.
The new version will feature with a 1 megapixel camera, a 3.5 millimeter earphone jack (same as the iPod uses), and enough storage capacity to hold 1,000 songs -- all capabilities Motorola has confirmed. The current phone's basic design will be replaced by a sleek new look, which sources close to the company say will be an elegant slider format. "We've learned a lot," says Motorola CEO Ed Zander. "We're definitely building on the ROKR experience."
