Motorla ROKR E2 Without iTunes
Motorola will not include support for Apple’s iTunes Music Store in the upcoming release of the Motorola ROKR E2. Instead, the ROKR E2 will feature a new subscription-based music service from Motorola called iRadio. It is reported that iRadio will also include 435 commercial-free radio channels.
The first release of Motorola’s ROKR was a failure because it failed to live up to expectations set by iPod’s ease of use and storage capacity. The first ROKR was released at the same event where Apple unveiled the critically acclaimed iPod nano, leading to reports of a rift between Apple and Motorola. Even though Motorola will not support iTunes in the ROKR E2, the recently announced RAZR V3i will support iTunes.
It looks like Motorola continue to struggle to gain a share of the online music market, but confusing customers with regards what music they can listen to on their phone and what they can’t is not a good way to build trust.
