Secret plans for the launch of an iPod phone have been leaked in advance of the official Apple launch, it is believed by an industry analyst.

Apple is expected to announce today a partnership with Motorola, the handset company, and Cingular Wireless, the mobile service provider, to market a mobile telephone that doubles as a digital music player.

According to Mr Entner, the first iPod phone will be available in two models, with either 512MB or 1GB of storage. The larger model can hold up to 240 songs. The handsets will reportedly be the first in a series called “Rokr”.
