And on the day that Apple’s iTunes music download service launches in the UK comes news from Japan which could spell the beginning of the end for the iPod.
If, like us, you are fed up of lumbering round with a pocket full of gadgets, be cheered. For you’ll soon be able to jettison your PDA and your iPod and just take your mobile phone with you.
For the word on the streets of Tokyo is that mini hard disk drives less than one inch in size with storage capacities of as much as 20Gigabytes will soon be incorporated into mobile phones.
According to JP Morgan’s Japanese analyst Kazuyo Katsuma a phone capable of storing thousands of music track and images could be hitting the Tokyo market as early as spring 2005.

Storage isn't the issue... power is. Unless they can make a battery... or a phone that can play MP3s for at least 3 hours a day, and still give 3 days standby time... that's the only way the mobile phone can compete with the iPod or any other multimedia device.
If playing MP3s will kill your phone in 3-4 hours... what the hell will you do for ther est of the day??? Lug around your charger? That would be dumb.
