Then Again, Maybe The BlackBerry Will…

January 8, 2007 by Robb Dunewood 4 Comments

This post title will make absolutely no sense unless you read the title of the previous post. To make a long story short, some analysts don’t think that the Apple will debut their new mobile phone tomorrow. Other analysts, however, do. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple’s mobile device / iPod could debut tomorrow.

Someone is obviously mistaken but what is more interesting is that the WSJ is also reporting that Cingular will be the service provider for the new Apple phone.


In contrast with that tidbit, the Washington Post is reporting that some analysts believe that Apple will sell their phone via their own MVNO. Kind of like an Apple version of Virgin Mobile. They’re also reporting that that Apple may just release the phone unlocked so that those who purchase the it can choose their own network (not a bad idea).

So, here is what we know. Apple is going to debut an iTune playing mobile device possibly tomorrow, but, maybe later. This device will run either on Cingular, Apple’s own network, or possibly everyone’s network. The device will cost money, be required to be shut off while taking off and landing, and most likely sell better than any similar device to come before it.

    I would be very surprised if the WSJ is wrong; when it comes to big business leaks, they usually don’t publish unless they are absolutely sure.

    The last couple of days we’ve been asked if we’d leave Verizon to get an 8800. I think the question now is whether you’d leave Verizon for a iPhone.

    In the consumer space, this will set the standard for what a smartphone should be. A real browser. A huge screen. An intuitive and workable UI. Comparing a Pearl to the iphone is like comparing an Apple //e to a Mac. It’s just a whole new class of device.

    If Apple delivers as promised on this device over the next couple of years, it will push Blackberry back to its business niche. I am no Mac fanboy, but this time they’ve outdone themselves.

    It’s Official… The Apple iPhone From Cingular Has Debuted…

     
    We have known for a little while that the Apple iPhone was going to be coming out. We thought, however, that the iPhone, the first version at least, would be little more than iPod with a cell phone built into it. Looks like we were wrong abou…
