iPhone to launch in August?

No offense, but I could care less about an iPhone. I buy apple computers,not apple phones. all that happens to my cell phones are massive drops, incursion of scratches, and the like. How about focusing r and d on making laptops that don't turn yellow and burn your crotch off?

moof! (no other word describes best the endless rumors about the "thing" called iPhone, iTalk or maybe even iLike2talk2u)

I believe the link (and video) you're referring to is this:

Lovely :]

BJ,
The picture is a screenshot from a concept video made by an Apple fan. I think TUAW published an article about the homemade video a while back, but I can't find it.

I would bet against an August launch but you never know. Steve does like to surprise people.

Where is this picture from?

The mobile handset market is soooo huge. And Apple has such a strong brand and powerful distribution that it only needs a product that doesn't totally suck to make at least $100m in the first year.

It's such an obvious extension and there's so much money on the table just waiting for them.

#2 - you'll be behind me ;P

actually i wouldn't buy it site unseen, apple kool aid drinker though i may be, there have been some klunkers in their day. i doubt something as important as the iphone would be an example of this, but still.

if it's elegant & beautiful and has a wickedly simple, gorgeous UI that integrates with the entire ilife suite — i'll certainly try to be first in line, but i suspect there will be hundreds if not thousands ahead of me. so many people i know who don't use apple products at all ask me when the iphone is coming. i think there's a huge market out there for a cell phone whose primary purpose is making calls.

If Apple launches a phone, i will be the first one in line to grab one. I'm almost 100% sure that this iphone is going to be sexier then the Razr.
