I Wanna ROK!

By Joe Prebich, 9-11-05

Most college kids can talk and walk. But now you can be the ultra-cool, talker, walker and ROKR. That's right the devils at Apple have debuted the iPod-esque device, joining with Motorola to bring us a cell phone with an iTunes library. Now, college kids seem to be the likely target of all things Apple and so it is no different with this. Only problem is, not many people like it. Could this be an iBomb? Inside, I hope so. Many reviews of the product have not been good. Read this one, where the reviewer only gave it only 2 of 5 stars, getting the response, "It's not an iPod, it's a ROKR!" from Motorola customer service when they were having trouble with the iTunes.

Plus, who wants something that only holds 100 songs. That won't even last me through my morning. It was a bummer that the iPod cell phone that was rumored came to this conclusion. FutureMusic.com was thought the phone was a serious disappointment and that is looked like a beer can. Funny, it actually does.
