iPhone Rumors Confirmed?



Is Apple working on a music player cell phone? Apple's CFO, Peter Oppenheimer, might have let the 'cat out of the bag' on an Apple analyst Q3 conference call.

When Merrill Lynch analyst Richard Farmer mentioned the success of the Sony Walkman Phone, Oppenheimer responded by saying: "As regards cell phones, we don't think that the phones that are available today make the best music players. We think the iPod is. But over time, that is likely to change. And [Apple is] not sitting around doing nothing."


In addition to Oppenheimer's slip of the tongue on the conference call, VL-Tone, a member of the Apple Insider forums found some interesting code in the last iPod software update. When using a hex editor he found several phone related commands/variables in the update including: t_feature_app_PHONE_APP, kPhoneSignalStrength, clPhoneMocksApplication, clPhoneCallModel.

As a result of all this iPhone hype and rumors, Merrill Lynch has upgraded Apple stock (AAPL) to a 'buy' and raised the target price to $72.

So when it comes to cell phones, just remember that Apple is "not sitting around doing nothing." Our sister blog e-Fuze thinks that "This should serve as a clear indication that Apple is indeed working on the iPhone. It is now a matter of when Apple will officially confirm the project and even release a timeframe for the device."

Yay! I hope it comes out by next June. Then again, it probably wont matter because im contracted with the one company that decides to cripple any useful features on the phone. Verizon. *sigh*
 


So, have there been any rumors as to which cell company Apple would sell the iPhone through? Has there been speculation that Apple might sell cellular service itself?
 


"not sitting around doing nothing?"... that's a rather inarticulate (and funny) way to phrase it
 


cannot wait!!! there so needs to be a better device to check .mac
email, iCal, etc than Treo Palm OS. none of them sync very well. go
apple go!
 


I've been hanging onto this piece of shit nokia for more than 2 years now, watching all the apple phone rumors thinking "I'm not going to get a new one, cos the apple phone is coming...." but it never does. i could have had 2 free new phones in the time.

A blind and deaf horse could design a better phone than any of the current phone manufacturers.
