Meer: Apple iPhone further details emerge - Sad news for CDMA users | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Software Headlines :: Index | 2006-12-16 09:08:43
There are strong rumours floating that Apple is going to officially announce the iPhone on Monday (Dec 18) and as the presumed release date gets closer so do the specs on the iPhone. Sources report that the iPhone will bs a GSM/EDGE (2.5G) phone and not a UMTS (3G) device thus it wont work on CDMA networks like Sprint, Verizon or Alltel. Apple's decision to go with 2.5G lies in the technology's advantages over 3G: physically smaller components and more reliable communication. The iPhone will be offered at the same price by all carriers as Apple does not want carriers to subsidize the cost of iPhone. It would be more accurate to think of the device as an iPod with phone capabilities, rather than a phone with iPod functionality. The iPhone will most likely ship in two versions with 4GB and 8GB of Nand Flash, however pricing will be higher than a similar iPod and if Kevin Rose of Digg is to be believed the iPhone will ship in a 4GB version for $249 and an 8GB version for $449, representing a $50 and $200 premium, respectively, over the iPod Nano.SourceSource: http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/apple_iphone_further_details_emerge_sad_news_for_cdma_users.php http://www.softwareheadlines.com/modules/planet/view.article.php/77151

Clandestine info about Apple's upcoming iPhone (see fake pic at right) keeps trickling in, and the latest assertion has Apple and Cingular teaming up to distribute the phone at first, with Cingular snagging exclusive rights to Apple's iPhone for its initial six months on the market. After that, other providers will also be join the fun.
As the story goes, the candy bar phone with a 2.2-inch display, iTunes and 3-megapixel camera is still on track for an early 2007 release. Those in the know think Apple will sell 25 million iPhones next year. Those are some big numbers, considering that 50 million of the wildly popular Motorola RAZRs have sold since its release in late 2004. – Charlie White

An anonymous reader writes "With the Apple WWDC looming on Monday, the internet once again beats itself silly over what Steve Jobs has in store. At the most fanciful end of the scale, there's talk of the Apple iPhone, to which CNET says, 'keep on dreaming', and Gizmodo says, 'no visible evidence'. The only solid evidence of an iPhone, beyond the endless mocked-up images, is the discovery of hidden phone-related code in a recent iPod updater. Macrumors has some info on what the keynote may contain -- and there's no mention of an iPhone. So, as the rumor mill continues to grind over the weekend, let the predictions begin. Is there an Apple iPhone, or is there not?"
