In brief T-Mobile said that it plans to sell Motorola's iTunes mobile phone in Germany by Christmas. Apple and Motorola are expected to announce the long-awaited phone this Wednesday (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/03/ipod_phone_analysis/). The many music phones on display at the ISF show in Berlin this week include the first models to be fitted with a built-in miniature hard drive. They are competing head on with MP3 players that also have a small hard drive.®
