Technology: Apple disappoints at CeBit

At last week's CeBit exhibition, everyone was satiated with all sorts of mobile phones and the like, the most popular being Yahoo joining up with Blackberry to enable the Yahoo instant messenger on the Blackberry. But what we expected to see, but didn't, was a phone jointly put out by Apple and Motorola that can download songs from Apple's Itune's service. We had already known that the two companies were developing such a device, but didn't know any specifications or images of it. The product's failed showing was blamed on Apple. Apple's CEO, Steve , is known for his pickings on announcing new products. This may be because Apple has a recent history of having unloyal employees that divulge secrets on unreleased products to the media. Nevertheless, we are all looking forward to the formal announcement of the phone, which is expected soon.
