Apple has never said, if they did make one, it would be called iPhone. All the info about what Apple "may" be making is about a cell phone, not a Skype phone. Geez, you guys just post anything I guess. This is all just a lot of speculation in the press. Not that most Mac users wouldn't welcome a great cell phone. Having a professor of marketing say Apple mis-stepped is hilarious. Dan Apple has never said they were making a phone.

It actually doesn't go with their typical naming style. And it doesn't really describe the product well. After all, if there is a new Apple device, I doubt they'll want to use a limiting word like 'phone' which ignores the media aspect. More likely they'd come up with a more abstract term along the lines of 'pod'. Where Apple messed up was with iTunes. Doesn't quite fit anymore, does it? Why would Apple want to use the name iPhone?
