Meet the Apple iTunes Phone

Engadget had the big scoop this weekend: apparently they’ve got the first photos of a mobile phone running Apple’s iTunes Mobile application:

It might just be an engineering or a production sample, and we can’t guarantee whether this will actually be the first iTunes phone or not, but we do know that we’re looking at a pearly white E790 and that synchronizes with iTunes 4.9 (and has the same autofill menu options as the iPod shuffle-see below). Not sure how much internal memory the phone has, but we do know that this sample shipped with a 128MB TransFlash card that sits opposite the SIM and under the battery and supposedly sounds every bit as good as a full-size iPod and has “excellent bass response”.

Now this is convergence that I can get behind. I look forward to the day when I don’t have to take both my iPod and cell phone with me. Why, at this yet, I might eventually be able to dispense with my man bag (seen here, and bought here).
