Thanks to Porkbun for sponsoring this video! 2 years before the world was introduced to the iPhone, Apple partnered with Motorola to release a phone that had an iTunes player built in. But due to some lackluster hardware, and some rather ridiculous software limitations, it was forgotten about pretty quickly. Let's check it out!
