iCell in the Works?
SirWraith writes "Ars Technica is running a story speculating on the possibility of an Apple cellphone." From the article: "At last week's CES, Motorola officially dumped Apple with its new ROKR E2 phone and its new iRadio digital music service. ... After the ROKR's lackluster launch, speculation abounded that Apple was saving the 'good' iTunes phone for itself, and the new 'Mobile Me' trademark lends credence to that line of thinking. At this stage of the game, it looks like Apple is moving in the direction of launching its own cellular service complete with its own lineup of phones (or phone, as the case may be)."
It has some nostalgy to it (-:

"A place for evrything and evrything in its place" ... or something like that. I gues Apple thinks that evrything's place is on one mobile device.
Which would you rather have? An iPod, or a phone with an iPod built in?
:-D
Both. Here's how:
1) Purchase a cell phone. Get whatever you want, it doesn't matter.
2) Purchase an iPod Nano.
3) Purchase a role of duct tape.
4) Purchase a book instructing you in the proper use of duct tape. "Red Green's 10,001 Uses for Duct Tape" is highly recommended.
5) Using your newfound knowledge in high precision engineering, duct tape the iPod Nano to your cell phone.
Now you too have a phone and iPod combination all in one, but with none of those silly limitations on the number of songs! Just flip your phone one direction to talk to people, and flip it the other direction to switch the song you're listening to. What could be better?
P.S. 6) Profit!!!
Javascript + Nintendo DSi = DSiCade
Is this one of those modern euphemisms like 'jump the shark?' I'm guessing it would mean to introduce something technologically advanced but with little real world utility.
Or did you mean 'segue?'
There ya go! Next step: Apple merges with Segway, to produce the Segintosh, which merges phone, video, music and computing with a handy transportation device, only $22,000 USD!
GetOuttaMySpace - The Anti-Social Network
I know someone who's seen the prototypes over a year ago now - other people in the same company were working on it. When I said "they're taking us back to a dial interface, aren't they?" This person said nothing, but their face said it all...
Breaking News!! When Steve Jobs goes to the bathroom, he makes iPoop.
The iPhone is slick, easy to use! I've been waiting my entire life for something that looked so cool and was so easy to use. It just works and just fits perfect in my front pocket and is really cool to look at. No more combersome keypad as the postive feeling smooth scrolling wheel (patent pending) does it all, what an innovation. I don't know how a billion people in the world could have used any other phone corded or wireless not made by Apple for the last hundred years!
I know I claimed I did not want anything more then a portable music player, I know I said I only wanted a phone that only had a phone, I know I said who needs video on a portable because it would kill the battery, I know I've stated that you do not really need a display screen on a portable player. Luckily this device does not have a FM radio though as no one needs that and that would ruin the whole package! This product made by Apple has changed my mind for all of those and this is exactly what I have been waiting for!
AAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ would buy again!!!
How well could that work?
