The elephant iPhone gives birth to a mouse

Though it has been expected for months, and was announced by Steve Jobs himself, Motorola ROKR is not that convincing now that is has come to life.
Criticism is high. Hence, on Xlr8yourmac, you'll learn that loading times for tunes is quite longer than what was announced. It reportedly takes 51 minutes to load the 100 allowed songs, which is a 100 Ko/s rate, as iLounge tests confirmed.
It is a ridiculous speed, though no-one knows if it's because of the Mac driver, of the telephone, or the brand new Transflash.
Other problem, battery life is not very long when using the phone as a digital player. The GSM power consumption will be added to those of the earbuds amplifier and the AAC managing chip.
To finish with it, it won't read audio books using "Audible" format, cheaper than those that can be bought on the iTMS.
Those who were afraid of an association with Motorola certainly had a point. The ROKR cannot really be called an iPhone. Might be the case only for a future, more evolved version.
