But analysts and people close to the company say that the plan is under way and that the evidence is manifest in the features and elements of the new version of the Macintosh operating system.
In a recent interview, Steve Jobs downplayed the possibility of an Apple PDA - but did discuss the future of next generation cellular phones.
NYT also points to Apple's interest in other handheld technology, with an attempt to purchase Palm for $1 billion soon after Steve Jobs returned to Apple... as well, they report that Apple's previous licensing terms with Pixo (iPod's OS) allows for use in a second product.
iPhone.org has been registered by Apple for years along with many others domains... many of these domains never made it into actual products... but continue to serve as areas of speculation.

I could see that. It'd go along nicely with iSync, Rendevous, and Bluetooth, provided it's on a future 3G wireless network.

That's probably why iCal isn't available now. An inexperienced programmer could write an app like that in about 2 weeks. We're waiting for the iPhone that goes with the iCal.

um ical?
i hope you mean isync... i personally think that if an inexperienced programmer (read: me) could make a program like ical they (read: me) would have done so already
i'm personally more excited about ical than isync, if not jaguar ;)

They have all the technologies to make either a phone or a PDA - and that would be tight if one came out at MW paris. I could see it working with iCal, Randesvous, iSync, and maybe even iTunes (a small HD for '500 songs in your pocket'). It could be a phone, organizer, calender, mp3 player, and half a million other things. It would be a wonderful device, too bad apple will probably make it inaffordable to a 15 year old... :(

i hope apple aren't diversifying too much, at the expense of their loyal powermac following... it would be a bit disappointing to see their high-end computer stuff stagnate while they concentrate on other gear. i mean, they're a pretty small company for such a broad product base.

scem01, there is already such device. Check out the SonyEricsson P800. It is coming to the US in December, apparently...

i don't see how this would work. as of right now cellular phone makers are forced to make specific phones for specific providers... or is it just a programming configuration? could this just have something to do with sony ericsson? they did give a talk at the last mac world about how their phones and how they would work with the new technology. also, steve was using a phone on stage and i doubt that they would promote something that would conflict with what they have planned.

I'd buy one.... but i'm still waiting for ipods that will plug into eachother through firewire so you can play pong with a friend and transfer files.
