Apple Mobile Phone Soon? Aloha Trademark
Research analyst firm PiperJaffray informed clients that they expected that Apple would release an Apple branded cell phone in the next 12 months.
Rumors of an Apple-branded phone has been ongoing for years. The rumors have slowed down since the release of the Motorola iTunes-capable phone.
Apple trademarked Mobile Me earlier this year, which many have felt could be related to a phone service. Meanwhile, Apple has also filed a trademark for the term Aloha in Hong Kong. This trademark was filed back in December 22, 2004 and based on the classification may simply have been an alternative name for Apple's Bonjour technology but the trademark categories also cover a broad range of devices.
Additionally, we believe Apple will benefit from the new Intel-based Mac's, along with what we estimate to be a 75 percent chance of a iPhone in the next 12 months."

i switched to cingular for the mac compatable phones. i am going to guess that in order to have world relevance it would have to be gsm. so that would rule out verizon. at least for now. if mac cells take off, my guess is they would eventually span all communication formats. just a guess.

I hope its Sprint.
I hate how it's always another motorola phone. Apple should just make its own phone. It would look so much better and people would probably buy it.

I would probably be wiling to switch carriers for an Apple-branded cell phone, perhaps there should be a poll to see who here would?
