I'm still not in tune with this technology. Do you listen to the music while holding the phone to your head, or do you listen through the hands-free earpiece? And people complain about the stock iPod earbuds, just wait until they expect CD-quality music from that.

Did they even determine if users can just transfer music from their computers to the phone, or are cellular phone providers going to cripple the phone to only buy songs over the network at inflated prices (for the convenience, you know)? If they have to buy songs for download, does the $2-3 cover the data transfer charges, or are those extra goodies for the monthly phone bill?

I believe in some convergence, but there are some things that a telephone just cannot do. I think that I'm in the minority among tech. futurists, however?
