Apple iPhone - To Be, or Not to Be?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday August 4, 2006 @02:58AM from the that-is-the-question dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the Apple WWDC looming on Monday, the internet once again beats itself silly over what Steve Jobs has in store. At the most fanciful end of the scale, there's talk of the Apple iPhone, to which CNET says, 'keep on dreaming', and Gizmodo says, 'no visible evidence'. The only solid evidence of an iPhone, beyond the endless mocked-up images, is the discovery of hidden phone-related code in a recent iPod updater. Macrumors has some info on what the keynote may contain -- and there's no mention of an iPhone. So, as the rumor mill continues to grind over the weekend, let the predictions begin. Is there an Apple iPhone, or is there not?"

but every other thing is either a software issue or an industrial design issue. Guess what two things Apple kicks ass at?

1. Giving up on writing their own 'next generation OS' and buying in something from NeXT?
2. Products so 'bling' in design and appearance that the 'appeal' of each design wears off in just about the time period Apple designates as an 'upgrade cycle'?
