Apple and Motorola could soon introduce the mobile phone the two companies are developing to play music purchased from Apple’s iTunes Music Store. “We’ve said we have something coming on this in the first half of 2005 and we’re definitely on schedule for that. Hopefully you’ll be able to see more about it soon,” Eddy Cue, vice president of applications at Apple, told Forbes. “What we’ve talked about is a something that is valuable for the mass market. It has to be a phone in the middle-tier of the market, not a $500-tier phone. It has to be very seamless to use. And we’re very happy with the results.” Cue declined to say whether Apple CEO Steve Jobs would show the phone at next month’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco.
