Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do.

Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know [patriotism] exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest.
