Friday, September 02, 2005 - 12:47 PM EST"European mobile phone operators are jumping on the iPod bandwagon and hope to secure deals that will give them access to a wealth of hot tracks from Apple Computer Inc.'s famed iTunes music store," Reuters reports. "Germany's T-Mobile, the mobile phone arm of Deutsche Telekom , said at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin that it planned to sell a musical mobile phone that can access iTunes, made by U.S. vendor Motorola Inc., by Christmas in Germany."
"One industry source said British-based O2 Plc also hoped to announce a deal to sign up to software that powers the iconic iPod music jukebox, the world's most popular portable music player, as soon as next week," Reuters reports. "Analysts expect U.S. cell-phone group Cingular Wireless, the joint venture between carriers SBC Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp., to also sign up for the Motorola phone. A T-Mobile spokesman declined to say if the phone would also be sold by the operator in Britain and the United States. Apple was not immediately available for comment. Cingular and O2 declined to comment."
