Of course, considering everything that’s happened with device so far any predictions should be taken with a grain of salt, however…”Motorola has signed up Madonna, Iggy Pop and generations of music stars to promote its first iPod music phone, the Motorola Rokr, which is due to be unveiled next week…It is reported that Motorola has signed an artist from every generation to appear in the ads, including Little Richard, Bootsy Collins, Lil’ John, The White Stripes, Sleater-Kinney, Sum 41, Mya, Pussycat Dolls and Billie Joe from Green Day…Look-a-likes of Beethoven, Jimi Hendrix and Biggie Smalls are also featured.”
Apparently Madonna has already filmed the ad…there’s two interesting parts to this article on advertising. First, it claims the Motorola iPod phone will not be an E398 has previously suggested but a member of the slightly more slick Rokr family. Second, none of those musicians come cheap so the advertising budget for this must be pretty immense. This adds weight to the hypothesis that the long-awaited iTunes phone is going to be announced…
