iPhone

I read an interesting article a few weeks ago, speculating on the possibility of an Apple . I wish I could remember the link, because it made a comparison of the number of iPods shipped vs the number of Sony Ericsson phones shipped and revealed that there are more iPods than Sony Ericsson phones. I was surprised to hear that.

It’s no secret that Apple is working on a phone. A little birdy tells me that these phones that Apple is working on will not only connect to traditional GSM networks, but are able to do SIP over WiMax. (SIP is a popular voice over IP protocol, WiMax is a “next generation” network, similar to 802.11b/g “Wifi”). Intel is a major supplier of WiMax chipsets. I’ll repeat that: Intel is a major supplier of WiMax chipsets. Everything’s starting to come together really nicely. The same little birdy reckons they’ll be ready worldwide for Christmas (I’ve got my money on MacWorld in January).
