Apple iPhone Rumors/Speculation

The New York Times (free registration required) discusses Apple's future plans for an Apple-branded Phone (aka iPhone):

    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.
