This makes total sense

This article about the mediocre Motorola/Apple/Cingular Rokr phone makes complete sense to me. Apple never was the type to release something so "blah" and as this guy points out the Rokr is just a pawn in their grand scheme to get a foot hold in the cell phone market. The beauty of it is that they don't even come out of this deal looking so bad. It's not the Apple Rokr, it's Motorola's turd. It'll sell beyond what it would have normally because of iTunes, and as a result Apple might be able to come back to the bargaining table with something of their own design that could blow away the competition and be able to dictate their terms. The real iTunes phone is coming I think.
