More iPhone Fun
From Kevin Rose who previously (correctly) predicted the iPod nano and the MacBook Pro.
The gist is:
- Going to be coming out in January
- CDMA and GSM
- Small
- The OS is supposed to be "cool"
- Two batteries, one charger. One for MP3 portion and one for Phone.
- 4GB ($249) and 8GB ($449)
- Flash memory, Slide out keyboard

I like the 2 battery idea.
Hopefully, they are user replaceable.
They have already shown they can get the interface of the ipod really small with the shuffle.
I also think that the slider is the way to go.
Now, can one get an unlocked cdma phone? Or are we going to be locked into carriers.
Perhaps they will announce the phone then seek fcc approval. This way there are no leaks from filings.

price with or without a plan?
also the keyboard may make it a smart phone and that may mean that you must buy a data plan to get the phone at the deal price.
- 4GB ($249) and 8GB ($449)
Don't you mean $349 for the 8GB?
here comes Ireland with a post
Don't you mean Northern Ireland
/by the way will someone move this thread over to 'iPod + iTunes', to stop someone posting a copy of this story.
The new iBin, coming to an Apple store near you:
(put your Razr's in here)
Kevin Rose is the new Walt Mossburg
I bet kevin's friend is Steve.

I believe this one, but if it turns out to be false Kevin Rose will lose some credibility.

Doubt it'll be false. Kevin Rose is fairly high in the tech inudstry, with his website (www.digg.com) valued at $150 million USD by some sources, and one of the highest traffic websites on the net.
ANd given previous rumors concerning the iPhone entering manufacture, I reckon he's description of it is fairly accurate.
In return he gets to "leak" on his website for our benefit. This way Apple will control the leaks in
their own fashion and timeline. He doesn't violate his NDA because it probably states when and how much info he can divulge. Or, perhaps he can drop the nuggets when the patent for the phone has been published.
It seems a bit contrived. Otherwise why would Kevin risk losing his 150 milion dollar fortune by intentionally leaking a product of Apple's. He isn't dumb.
I bet he was handed a fully working prototype of it and was an original beta tester.

but then again, he did have a few beers before he started talking about it.
seriously though, why are they always drinking in every episode? his liver is going to bust.
If it wasn't then he knew exactly what he was going to do.
I'll probably end up getting a Moto anyways because I doubt the iPhone will have a camera.
there was a post a while back about how the iPhone will have a 2mp camera.
I was thinking about his, and then in hit me. apple will use the camera-display combo screen (there was a forum for this awhile back, but i can't find it). The camera will be the screen, and the screen the camera. This would be useful for things like video-chatting and photobooth-like picture taking (think iSight for phones), something that would be used far more often and more practical for a phone anyway. Earth Final Conflict's "global", anyone?

I said I believed it, and he's not high, he's drunk.
GIVE ME A TREO-KILLER!!!!
Don't you mean Northern Ireland
im still waiting for the sinking feeling in jan when steve says or implys "the US ONLY"
im SERIOUSLY waiting on this
if its not happening either in cool value or availability then im onto a p990
That would work.
I like the 2 battery idea.

Two batteries b/c only one will be replaceable (think cellphone).
This way if your phone goes dead, in an emergency you could use the battery of the ipod side.
just swap them out.
Unless Apple has some killer app up their sleeve that is yet to be revealed, I doubt it's released. If it is released, MacPhone is a safer bet for its name.
