Could this and the recent DoCoMo Quicktime for 3G deal point to an Apple Cell Phone OS that will be licensed to phone manufacturers? Could .mac-like services be part of it?

I was going to mention the trademark description for Xgrid, but I guess there's no point in it. Thanks for correcting me Harald. It's hard to argue with your logic. If you hadn't stopped me I probably would have went on to make an even bigger fool of myself.
[quote] Apple clearly is considering these other categories, starting with its iPod digital music player. Already, the company has successfully positioned the Mac as a hub for connecting digital devices.
"As personal computers can synchronize more data types beyond calendar and contacts--as the iPod synchronizes music--we will see more devices proliferate," Jupiter Research's Gartenberg said. "For example, a future DVR (digital video recorder), might not record anything directly, but sync the TV shows to your TV for home viewing or to your handheld for the road. All of which can be translated in profits for whoever controls the access points of the data sync."
I expect whatever is happening will come together soon. I just think there has been a lot of things in the news lately that almost fit together, but don't quite (yet anyway).
