Apple and Motorola's little joint project, which packages iTunes with Motorola ROKR, RAZR and SLVR phones, has worked out well for both companies, the flak over the hundred-song limit imposed by Apple notwithstanding. Even its detractors have to admit that this functional melding of an iPod and a cellphone is a great idea. Trouble is, not all SLVRs come with iTunes - especially those units sold in markets outside the US.

Now someone's done something about it. Posted on the Motomodders forum on the net (it's actually found elsewhere, but the directions on this particular forum are easier to read and clearly stated) are instructions on how to install iTunes in an unlocked and unbranded SLVR. What's more, this version of iTunes purportedly has a thousand-song limit - a far cry from the hundred-song ceiling the 'legally equipped' units are hobbled with.

Very interesting. Anyone want to give it a whirl?
