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 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.”
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. Probably within the next one and a half years or so we should see this device roll out.”

Reports has surfaced that stating Google is in discussion with Orange, a mobile service provider/operator in UK, to design and create a Google branded phone which will make usage of Internet in mobile phone as easy and as natural as in desktop computers and laptops. According to Guardian, the Google Phone or Gphone will be a smart phone or personal digital data assistant (PDA) powered with Windows Mobile and manufactured by HTC, the leading Taiwanese firm in creating smartphones and Windows Mobiles. Other than branded Google, the Orange’s logo may be imprinted too, with LCD screen similar to those of video iPod. What really matters is that the Gphone will have built-in Google software or G-apps which would dramatically improve on the slow and cumbersome experience of surfing the web from a mobile handset. The Google apps that may be integrated into the GPhone include location-based web search with GPS functionality, Google Maps, Google Earth, Gmail, mobile search, and even ability to stream Youtube video contents smoothly to the mobile phone.
