Softbank, Apple to develop cell phones with iPods

Softbank and Apple Computer are planning to jointly develop cell phones equipped with Apple's popular iPod music players, reports Crisscross.

"The two companies are expected to launch third-generation cell phone handsets with the iPod functions next year, the sources said.

The cell phones will be able to download songs from Apple's iTunes Music Store from the Internet if they are connected to personal computers. They also plan to develop a handset that can download iTunes using Softbank's mobile telecommunications network, the sources said."
