Cingular launches Motorola's Slvr with iTunes inside

Cingular Wireless, the US' No 1 mobile provider, has started offering its customers the Slvr, an ultra-thin phone from Motorola loaded with the popular iTunes music-playing software from Apple.

This is the second device that Motorola has launched with iTunes inside. The first, the Rokr, was not a great success. This was apparently because the design was, well, a bit limp. It neither looked like the iPod or the Razr, two of the hottest consumer electronics devices of last year.

So, Motorola has dealt with the design issue (apparently) as the Slvr looks more like the Razr than the Rokr did (try saying that lot in a rush).

So that just leaves us begging one simple question. When will Apple deal with the other side of the design equation and launch the iPod mobile phone? Come on guys, you have all the evidence that you need.
