Business Proposal



The Cell Phone Ipod

What is our research all about?

 

Our group will be doing our research project on Ipods. We are researching this relatively new technology because it has taken over the music world and promises to be even more successful in the future. We propose a new product for Ipod which would combine several different technologies, including cell phone service, into their best-selling portable music player. We have split up the research among the group by delegating an online researcher and a library researcher.

Who is involved in this research, and what are each of our tasks?
