The newest Motorola RAZR, the V3R, no longer features Apple's iTunes software built into the phone, but instead uses another Motorola-based MP3 player inside the phone's software.In a "cover" PR statement most likely, a Cingular spokesperson said that "This would be in line with our strategy of providing consumers with many different ways to listen to music, including iTunes, Napster, Yahoo, emusic, MobiRadio and XM Radio."
But, with Cingular now selling the nearly two-year-old RAZR with and without iTunes, what does that signal? Perhaps that the current iTunes-capable RAZR will be the last of its kind most likely. Since I doubt customers are buying RAZRs for iTunes (with the 100-song limit and all), iTunes phones outside of an Apple iPhone are most likely going away for good. So much promise, so little delivery.
