iTunes phone may premiere at V Festival?

I was searching Google News when I found a news article on Telegraph. It won't let me link to it but you can search Google News for the article, "Joss on your mobile". Here is what the article reports:

Motorola is to unveil the first fruits of its partnership with Apple next month with the launch of its iTunes mobile phone at the V Festival of music.

The festival is one of the UK's biggest summer music events and will include performances by dozens of artists including Joss Stone.

The phone will allow users to download music held on their personal computers using iTunes software onto the Motorola mobile phone.

Apple hopes the move will extend its lead in the digital music market. Its iTunes internet store accounts for 82 per cent of all legally downloaded music worldwide. It will also allow iTunes customers to listen to their favourite tunes on the move, without the need to buy an iPod - Apple's iconic portable music player.

I am not sure what makes them assume that; but it will be interesting if they are accurate, considering the V Festival is hosted by Virgin Mobile.
