Why??

“You’ve probably heard about this,” Jobs said, a reference to the speculation that has run rampant prior to today’s event.

The phone will automatically pause when you get a call, explained Jobs. Songs are transferred through a USB cable.

The Motorola ROKR can only hold about 100 songs, according to Jobs. “The way we think of this phone is, it’s really an iPod shuffle on your phone,” he explained. Both devices can shuffle, both can autofill, neither has a click wheel — but the phone has a display.

On the plus side, there is a new version of iTunes available soon-ish… iTunes 5.0 and a colour screen iPod Mini Nano!!!
