Apple To Unveil iPod Cellphone Next Week?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-it-calls-me dept.

Mictian writes "Apple Computer is planning to hold a major press conference next week (September 7th) in San Francisco and the rumours say that it will be the unveiling of a new iPod cellphone (NYT). The phone would incorporate the popular iTunes software, be built by Motorola and marketed by Cingular Wireless. The companies have declined to confirm or deny the report, which would fit Apple's past pattern of being secretive to maximise the splash on announcement day."

    You should go with Verizon. I remember they went around the country repeatedly checking with the other end - "Can you hear me now?"

    Will their new cellphone only have one button, just like their mice? Just kidding...

      It's going to have no buttons, like the mighty mouse. You just squeeze it in a certain way to start a song, and a different certain way to call people. It's going to be so easy, nobody will be able to figure it out.

    Man, what's with all these people and their broken grammar? I believe you need to use "their," not "they're," in your sentence. Otherwise ./'ers with nothing better to do will just make fun of your post. I know I did.

    :-P
