The Register asks, “will mobile phones turn out to be the iPod-killers that many has hoped for? Or are they going to remain stuck in the slow lane of the user experience?”



Furthermore, it gives out the numbers argument,



“The argument trotted out by the mobile phone makers and operators is always the same..(that) there will always be an iPod, but the fact is there are 1.6bn mobile handsets around the world and only 16m iPods....thus far Apple has sold more than 22 million iPods, and if you add rivals’ sales you get roughly 30 million MP3 players shipped since their introduction about five years ago. Compare that to the number of people with a mobile phone: close to two billion.”
