Gizmodo claims the iPhone will be released "Monday"
Gizmodo post
What the heck are they smoking over there? Do they really mean THIS COMING Monday? If not, are they just asking for people to get angry?

It would of made more sense if he said the iPhone would come out on " a Monday " which is what I think he was jokingly refering to.... I don't think he honestly meant it would be out this Monday.
It would make more sense if he just said what his real intentions are... to see how many hits he can get from Apple Fanboys sqealing OMFF!1!!!!!!111!!!! from a completely B.S. post.
Why, in god's name, would Apple (and Steve for that matter) release what promises to be as huge (IMO) as the original iPod on a Monday..... 1 week before Xmas.... after everyone has already spent hundreds of dollars on gifts?

So we can spend hundreds more!
Well, if they have iPhone ready, they might as well put it out there. It might only be a week, but it's still a week of last-minute holiday shopping.
OR, if they even just announce it and don't actually ship until January, I bet that'd get people to return the other phones they bought (or at least hold out a little longer...
Bizarre.
He's done it before. Last time, after a teaser post that stated that he would be releasing Apple news, the post turned out to be about the new Tivo upgrade.
I just know I will be sad on Monday... AGAIN
I have, and will be using, all the resources at my disposal: medication, nutrients, fresh air, excercise, meditation, yoga, etc. to CLEAR MY MIND on anything about the iPhone. I just don't have any reading whatsoever on what it is and when it is coming out. It is like a dead spot in my brain.
If it's ready to announce Monday (which I really doubt) I'd place 2 orders, even if it ships in January, and even if it doesn't do everything it's rumored to do. I just plain need a replacement phone that doesn't suck at this point.
Who's the lucky person to get the 2nd phone?? I'll be your best firiend, I promise....
I would look at SonyEricsson phones at this point. Said it before, I'll say it again. Their mid-range mobiles are very good with a nice user interface. Some walkman and non-walkman phones have good sound quality and MegaBass that beats some iPods themselves, in terms of sound quality. The MegaBass is great when going for a run or on public transport where you lose a ton of low-end parts of a tune. The MegaBass equalizer setting keeps the bass thumping even in such conditions... Though I fear for the wellness of my ears somewhat with that level of bass right in my ear... Anyway, to continue, some SE walkman and non-walkman phones support unprotected AAC in addition to MP3. Just the loading of music is a bit fiddly and very un-iTunes like. The iPod Phone may not do what you want, although it would be unlikely that it would suck. Be warned that Apple won't get it perfect, and it won't appeal to *everyone* with the first iPod Phones released.
Don't get swept up in the hype...!! This iPhone thing is killing my brain for some reason -- particularly the rumoured "iChat video" function. ... And virtual clickwheel... number pad? There is no number pad? Just the clickwheel? What metallic colours has Apple blessed us with??? Hmmmmm
Therefore announcing it now prevents the FCC from stealing the spotlight.
good insight!
OK, f(*k the zen-clear-your-mind thing. I have decided that I will not like the iPhone, and find it too tentative and specific a design for too sliced-up a target market. A cynical bid by Apple to keep shareholders, analysts and the company itself chugging along. A cynical move for increased profit margins, and increased total profits and revenue, rather than overall boosting Apple iPod/ Mac/ iPhone marketshare. Nothing wrong with focusing on profits and revenues, but "ultra groundbreaking", "super sexy" and "BAM! Here it is...", I don't think it will be ras evolutionary and phenomenal as what we've seen with other Apple products and services.
Happy Hating

Aw, c'mon, if Jobs announces the "WottaPhone" that could massage your feet and and take dictation, you'd be there with your weekly paycheck, sun.
