businessweek.com — "At first, 26-year-old London resident Rachel Slack carried around both her Apple iPod and her mobile phone. But in November, after buying a Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman phone with enough memory for about 100 songs, she started leaving her iPod at home."

Do Business Week really think that people don't know that mobile phones can play music? Buried for "OK, this is lame".

You sound like one of those people who doesn't think apple will do a phone. I'm sorry to break it to you, but your wrong. Apple is aware that despite the fact people think the iPod is cool, most want to carry just the one device ... if done right a ohone from apple would kick Motorola's ass!

I never said anything about that. I pointed out that Business Week seem to think people don't realise that many mobile phones are capable of playing MP3s these days. This is stupid of them and the whole article is pretty lame because of that.

Right now I'm using my K750i (W800 flashed) phone to play mp3 content, music, podcasts etc. The biggest drawback is that most phones don't support any of the DRM found in online music hence you're forced down the ripped CD path.
