The iPhone has been the subject of speculation for quite a while and I thought I would drop what I know. I will try to not drop enough information as to reveal my source.

The iPhone is a black device that is nearly featureless on the front except the dock and a couple of other buttons. On the bottom is what appears to be a standard dock. The most remarkable feature of the iPhone is the display, which I hear is breathtaking as it emerges from behind what appears to be black plastic. The whole front, with exception to a couple of millimeters along the edges of the iPhone, is touch sensitive and allows the customer to select from objects on the screen, such as the phone’s keyboard. This feature was widely described for the nebulous full screen iPod and will instead be found in the iPhone. It was the patents that were acquired for the iPhone that started that speculation.

The iPhones PDA-like capabilities have been leaked already, such as email (via WIFI), calc, ical support, and others, so I won’t go into those. Obviously the games featured for the existing iPods will be playable on the new iPod.

Some of the coolest features mentioned, include the ability to have a hands-free conversation over auto adapters with the new iPhone. Bundled with the new phone is software called iTalk that keeps your voice from being carried over and includes privacy, IM and sync features. Other cool features are the ability to control other Apple devices not yet released with your iPhone like a super remote control. Somehow I pictured the remote from the movie “Click.”

The most important question is when you will actually be able to get this device in your hand. This is where the bad news starts. Even though the iPhone has been in development internally at Apple for quite awhile, the manufacturing process of selecting partners to create the device has been a slow and painful process that began in March and may need a while longer to spin up. The good news is we will see the iPhone very soon — very, very soon indeed. Just means you may not be able to hold one in your hand before this Christmas season.

This product is the Zune killer that has been held back and will likely leapfrog over cell phones, PDAs, and MP3 and video players that are out there. I have heard that iPod product line will likely take on most of the non-phone features of the iPhone, including the new screen technology.

De verwachting was eerste kwartaal 2007, maar de geruchten zijn er al meer zeker van dat het januari wordt, tijdens de jaarlijkse MacWorld Keynote (1e/2e week januari). Over de features en (of) het aantal modellen en de verschillen ertussen wordt men het nog niet helemaal eens. TUAW kwam gister met een interessante foto van een bron die ze ‘anonymous’ noemen. Op het plaatje zien we iets wat op een full-screen ipod lijkt, die ook verwacht wordt, maar nog voor de feestdagen. En op je daarmee kunt bellen … ?? […]

    […] We admit it we’ve been holding out on you. With our iPhone leaks getting worldwide attention we felt it neccessary to lay low and not reveal the source of our information. You see as much as we love spilling the beans we love knowing what the beans are and when they will be released. The good news is that the Mac Book Pro (still struggling with that name) is coming real soon and with so many peeking eyes it is safe to say that no one’s cover will be blown. Thats great you say show me a picture. Lets just say this if you see a actual picture of latest Mac Book Pro that somehow survived a plethora of Apple security it would imply that said image was almost certainly be a photoshop fake. […]

  30. Online Traffic Formula on MyAvatars 0.2 February 29th, 2008 5:32 am

    This is interesting. I believe I read an article somewhere, where this young guy unlocked the iphone and just traded his skill for a nissan 350z. Maybe that was good enough for him, but I’m sure many of us could have traded it for more :)

  34. Online Traffic Formula on MyAvatars 0.2 March 14th, 2008 10:24 pm

    From my last comment about the guy unlocking iphones, I have found yet another new thing that has been going on with the iphone. It’s supposed to be presented as a luxury cellular phone which is the iphone in 24k Gold skins. Yup, even the hip hop stars like Akon, Will Smith, and 50 cent are sporting it. To make it even better, they have gold chains and belt clips to hold your luxury iphone. hahaha, crazy stuff!

    Well, I have heard that there will be a new release of the iPhone to happen very soon. This should be great! However, do not quote me on this as I have heard this information about the Apple iPhone through the grapevine. I love this blog!

  42. samsung omnia on MyAvatars 0.2 June 9th, 2008 10:08 am

    Yes, the 3G iPhone will be released in a matter of days, right? I feel like I can’t wait for this. I love the iPhone but I am afraid that the new phone will be too expensive for me.

Got something to say?
