Wall Street Journal: Apple Phone Days Away

Monday January 8, 2007 7:15 pm PST by longofest
In what may be the highest-profile claim to date, the Wall Street Journal (paid subscription required) is chiming in that Apple will be announcing their cellphone "as early as Tuesday." The phone reportedly would reside on Cingular's network.

Cingular in November announced a mobile music service based upon Microsoft's WMA format and a subscription model. It is presently unclear how this service would interoperate, if at all, with Apple's rumored phone.

The Wall Street Journal has been extremely reliable in the past, having been the first news outlet to predict Apple's switch to Intel chips.

If cingular really is their choice, then all my hopes were for nothing, and I'll cry myself to sleep tomorrow night. Cingular is the worst service in town where I live.

i have had different cell phone companies through the years and I seem to always go back to Cingular. I can't wait for this verizon contract to end. I can't seem to get a signal at my house with anything else. Cingular has had the strongest signal by far.

I talked with verizon and they said that I live right next to their tower. yeah right.

We all have our wish list, and a phone is on the bottom of mine. Still, I support anything which provides a revenue stream. I have been waiting patiently for the FCP 6 upgrade. It has been a long time since Apple has upgraded the video apps. It would really be nice to see them now.
