Motorola and Apple teamed up to bring the iTunes to your phone via the ROKR last year. Unfortunately, Apple didn’t seem willing enough to really give you the full experience and Motorola’s button layout and access to the iTunes software was less than desirable to use. No worries music fan, you can still get that iTunes feeling on your Motorola…or any other smartphone for that matter with SimpleTunes!
Visual IT has masterfully replicated the iTunes menu (or should we say Creative’s menu?) and even added some soft buttons that pretty much give the iPod experience as well. Coupled together, one can easily navigate one-handed much like the real iPod itself. The only thing it will not due that iTunes will is play AAC files. Protected or not. It’s just a plain Jane MP3 player.
We found those that have tried it like it. With the ability to fast forward or rewind within a song (something you can’t do with Windows Media Player that comes with all Windows Mobile smartphones,) and the ability to easily play music form an external card, the $20 may fit just right in some budgets. Give it a try for free for three days and see if it fits your smartphone.
