iCell in the Works?

Posted by Zonk on from the ican't-talk-now dept.

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)."

    Dude, I don't know what Immaculate Reception you're thinking of, but the real "Immaculate Reception" happened in 1972 when Terry Bradshaw threw the ball and Franco Harris scooped it up. Doug Flutie didn't start playing in the NFL until several years later (I want to say late 80's/early 90's, but I could be wrong).

    I think he is talking about the Hail Mary Flutie through to Gerard Phelan to help BC beat Miami. You know, in college, where the real football is played. As for his pro career, he started in the USFL, crossed the picket lines in the NFL during the 1987 strike then started in the CFL in 1990 and moved back to the NFL in the late 90s.
