“Tortora is the second analyst that recently….” I doubt he’s only the second.  This seems like a weekly thing from ‘Analysts’.

Bring Em On though, can’t freakin’ wait for an Apple smartphone.  I’m getting REAL close to getting a windows based one because of all the stuff I need it for, but trying to hold off.

I’m pretty curious how it will turn out. My contract expires in june but maybe I can get one if it’s for real.

i think that if they will released 2 of that ipoddish phone, ‘n a renewed newton smarphone-edition, i think Apple would use Verizon or other company as they made with the 1 itunes phone compatible, rokr. I hope it will not a really “flop” as the motorola rokr, and also i hope will each model be released after 1 or 2 months worldwide. A good time to change my n70.

This is a lot better than that Shaw Wu crap.

“Filed for a trademark” links to an article that quotes the man that we all love to hate - Mr. Shaw Wu. 

As annoyed by him as I am, I have to ask - has anyone been tracking the accuracy of his predictions?  Seems to me a lot of his predictions have made their way into reality, but maybe that’s just because he makes generalized assumptions. 

Thoughts?

My thoughts - at this point an iPhone is more an inevitability than a prediction, and releasing it in/around anuary would keep Apple’s sales strong after the holidays. Makes sense.

Is it impossible to do hard drive/cell phone or is there magnetic interference.  I don’t wanna give up the gigs.

I’m growing quite bored with all these dopey “iPhone predictions.”  One analyst says they will, another says they won’t.  How special do you have to be to become an ‘analyst’ anyways?

Here’s MY analysis; Due to recent paperwork filings, microchip costs, carrier demands, the color of paint on the the Apple HQ, and the frikin’ alignment of the planets, Apple may, OR MAY NOT, make a cell phone within the next 23 years.

Where’s my check?

Weren’t these ‘analysts’ the same pinheads that ‘predicted’ the release of the iPhone, along with wide-screened iPods, touch screened iPods and the like at the last Apple event?

These guys are usually WRONG half the time, so I’ll believe it when I see it.

Completely off topic, I saw the 7th post. Does anyone else see AL ROKER when they see ROKR? How hilarious it would be to have an obnoxious phone giving you the third degree through weather reports!

I really, really don’t expect to see an Apple iPhone anytime in 2007. Even with all of the rumors out there, it would shock me.

Of course, Apple has shocked me before.
