Music Phones go head to head with the iPod

Business week is reporting that some users are starting to leave their iPods at home in favour of their MP3 phone. It comments that with the rise in storage on phones that people are choosing to leave the iPod at home and take their phone. I feel this could be a small threat to Apple’s iPod but not for a while as the storage on phones is around 100 songs at the moment. Coupled with fact that users upgrade their phone every year they do not do this with their iPod.

Apple have decided that following the success of live music in its UK stores they would follow up in the US with a similar idea. Alien Ant Farm will be performing at the Apple retail store in Santa Monica on July 20th. Also Indie band The 88 will be live at Apples Grove store in LA on july 21st. There is a chance that this will be available to download to iPod via itunes.
