New York - Motorola said this week that it plans to release several new handsets in its music-playing Rokr cell phone line next year, Reuters reported. Motorola's first Rokr phone that integrated iTunes software, which was not as thin and sleek as its Razr model, has seen sluggish sales. The company said new Rokr models will be closer in design to the Razr; the first is slated for release in the first quarter, while another to be introduced mid-year will offer wireless song downloads, according to Ron Garriques, head of Motorola's mobile unit. Carriers will also be given the choice to include either iTunes or any competing player software on the phones.
