Rumor alert: Apple's iTunes phone coming soon?

Reuben Lee | May 13, 2006

A recent report from Japan's Nihon Keizei Shimbun seems to indicate that Apple may be teaming up with Japanese telco Softbank to develop a mobile phone with the Cupertino company's popular iTunes service. Unlike the iTunes-enabled Motorola ROKR E1 released last year which allows downloads of songs via a PC, the handset is expected to be the first to allow music downloads over the air.

Not surprisingly, Apple has kept mum in response to inquiries following the report. But the various tech sites are already buzzing with anticipation over whether this is the so-called iPhone or Mac Mobile which Apple is rumored to be working on. Expect more updates to follow soon.
