What If Apple Made A Cell Phone And No One Cared?
PreacherTom writes "Prudential Equity Group analyst Jesse Tortora penned a note saying that Apple is readying a music phone — and a separate, combination video and music phone. He expects Apple to introduce the devices in January at Macworld, a conference for Mac enthusiasts where the company typically debuts new products. At least one of the phones will offer Wi-Fi connectivity and both will become available in the March quarter of 2007 ... but will anyone care?"
Wi-fi. More space than a Blackberry. Still lame.

who?
You post a story and noone cares?
If I can wear it on my wrist and look at it to see what time it is, and the sound is as good as my JBL studio monitors, and it can keep a call going over my entire commute past mysterious giant golf balls and a VOR, and it's free with unlimited minutes and no roaming charges. I might want it.

If Apple came out with a cell phone, Chuck Norris would use it to defeat terrorism at the tune of Dead Bodies Everywhere.
You've talked to both of them?
"Not that I'm a fanboy", but I like to strike the same poses that I see in the famous iPod "silhouette" bilboards, and I can look just like them.
Except I'm fat. Really, really fat. Why doesn't Apple ever put any silhouettes of fat people in those ads, anyway? And I've got an afro wig and I can do the Cabbage Patch as well as the next guy.
Apple needs to let me make a billboard.
I do love you so, Mr. Jobs.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I think he was looking for answers, not more questions!

The WiiMote should have been a phone too. At least an IP phone.

Hi, this is the RIAA calling; thanks very much for your confession! We'll have our lawyers contact you with a bill.
"Why such the negative attitude?"
You must be new here.
The revolution will not be televised... but it will have a page on Wikipedia
What if Zonk posted an article to Slashdot...and no one commented???

Hell no. In fact people like Dvorak make a career out of it.
How do you know he wasn't using the word "peaked" more literally? He probably wouldn't be the first apple fan to pitch a tent over upcoming products I bet!
Maybe Apple could make a phone with an interface that doesn't make me want to smash it into the nearest wall whenever I use it.
