“I managed to get my hands on Apple iTunes for Windows Mobile 5.0. After the Motorola ROKR Apple seems to get seriously into the mobile phone business. As my sources tell there will be a special data rate for T-Mobile bundled with devices that come with iTunes,” Daniel Kirstenpfad writes in his blog. “The version I could test was iTunes for Windows Mobile 5.0 version 0.9. Although it looks pretty complete (everything (except bonjour) is in place and even podcast sync worked like a champ… it’s not a customer ready version. I don’t know anything about the release dates or announcement dates at the moment.”
“Some words to the graphical user interface: Apple decided to use the well known iTunes in favor of the iPod user interface. Since the buttons and functionalities are all where I expected them it’s as easy to use as the ‘big’ version of iTunes,” Kirstenpfad writes. “I did not have the time for an in-depth test yet but it seems that it is not limited in the way the Motorola ROKR is. Nevertheless I was not able to sync it with a PC/Mac iTunes yet since there are no drivers (and I haven’t got any) I successfully copied 1 GB of MP3/AAC files onto a SD Card and I could play it all. When I inserted the SD Card iTunes automatically searched for media files and rebuilt it’s library. After some seconds I could start listening… I so far was not able to actually buy anything in the apple store – iTunes just crashed when I tried. So there’s obviously more work to do for Apple.”

Legit or a hoax? Please expound below.
Fake – don’t fall for this crap (its not even good crap).
Total Fake, good fake, but total fake
Would have been so easy to shrink the Play button etc. Totally not even a first beta of what Apple would try.
When are they going to get the one for SYMBIAN cell phones?
It´s a fake. A “Cut & Paste” of iTunes for Desktop.
Wait! there are links to the iTMS on there! Didn’t Mr. Jobs say something about not including the iTMS for mobile devices? If he did, then it’s a definately a fake.
that is definitely interesting! VERY suprising but not fake, I hope…. That’s cool!
