Yes it is iTunes in a phone

\<!\[CDATA *The Register*  has [answered](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/27/apple_moto_itunes/)  my [questions](http://jurgen.ca/archives/000275.html)  about this Apple/Motorola iTunes thing.

Do they mean the iTunes music store is integrated into the iTunes software on the phone?

Nope. Purchased songs need to be USB’d or Bluetoothed over to the phone (I wonder if phone-to-phone transfer is supported?)

does this mean Apple has finally licensed its DRM software to someone else?

Yup! This is the important bit. This is a first.

Does this mean QuickTime for Java is running on these phones?

Dunno. But it kinda makes sense, because the DRM in iTunes is handled by QuickTime…

I still think using iTunes for managing a collection of 12 songs is a bit overkill, but Apple licensing its DRM is a good thing.]]>
