I still think Apple's plan isn't to make a cell phone necessarily, but they're supposedly trying to get the cell phone makers to create a standard adapter so the guts of a cell phone could be plugged into many different devices. That way anyone could make the shell of a phone and plug a Nokia 'phone device' into the shell. Also, obviously, a tablet, portable, PDA or whatever device anyone makes could also have a slot for the standard 'phone device' making it net-able.
Yeah that would work fine, and it'd be very neat. If Apple comes up with a tablet that has some phone-like capabilities it would rock.
I also like the idea of having a Tablet+webcam+iChat on a single device... instant inexpensive internet phone wherever you've got wireless internet.
