"Looks like we might finally have some reliable information regarding the specifics of the long rumored iPhone. MacRumors has posted a description provided by a "reliable MacRumors.com source" of the upcoming device as well as an artists rendition of what the phone might look like. Judge for yourselves, but this certainly strikes me as the first mock-up we've seen that I could really see Apple releasing. The sleek simple design closely follows the look of the 5G iPod line, and it makes sense Apple would take advantage of user familiarity with the interface and the recently announced iPod games. According to the source, the clickwheel will slide down to reveal a standard numeric keypad."

Is this becoming a rumours site now?

Noramlly I'm not critical of Apple products, but can anyone else see the first Apple Phone being a disaster.

TBH, I don't see Apple launching one for a while, when they launched the ipod there wasn't alot out there in the way of MP3 players, the phone market is much more competitive.

Perhaps if they took the standalone phone market, but if they teamed it with some VOIP software (integrated Bluetooth in future Macs to help support it when in range?) they could have a product on their hands, IMO.
