iTunes 5 for Windows-based phones?

"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 (maybe we'll see an official announcement soon)," writes Schrankmonster.

"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 (see picture)) it's not a customer ready version. I don't know anything about the release dates or announcement dates at the moment."

Comment: The pictures look authentic, so who knows? Of course, Windows Mobile phones can already play music and video clips via the built-in Windows Media Player, but current and would-be iTunes users will no doubt be glad to have the extra option.
