Gah!
Thinksecret?s apparently also got some new details on the ROKR, which they claim will apparently come in 256MB and 512MB capacities, and that users will be able to download music over the air for $2 a pop?all about what we?d expected from the whole deal.
$2 per song? Why would you do that when it's $1 on iTunes? Also, they'd better allow you to transfer the song back onto the computer (unlike iPods).

I would assume it's because the cell phone company wants their cut of the download since it's their bandwidth being used.

iTunes Phone has been announced. Pic here

iTunes Phone - Motorola ROKR

Jobs also used today's event to unveil the first iTunes-compatible cell phone, the Motorola ROKR. "You've probably heard about this," Jobs said, a reference to the speculation that has run rampant prior to today's event.

The phone will automatically pause when you get a call, explained Jobs. Songs are transferred through a USB cable.

The ROKR can only hold about 100 songs, according to Jobs. "The way we think of this phone is, it's really an iPod shuffle on your phone," he explained. Both devices can shuffle, both can autofill, neither has a click wheel -- but the phone has a display.
