    ----------------------------------------------------

    How did the Germans pull that off?
    Maybe they are into writing clever fiction or there is a real mole at
    Apple.
    Check back next Tuesday to see if they were right.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Also I discovered today that there is a way for Win Mobile 6 users to
    experience most of the Apple iPhone interface by sharing their high
    speed wireless connection with an Apple iTouch. It only works with
    certain WinMo 6 phones but I find it interesting none the less. It is
    easier to hack an iTouch than an iPhone since there is no carrier
    issue with the iTouch.

    Of course you have to carry two devices but if you are stuck in a
    CDMA plan for the nest two years this enables you to come to the Apple
    interface innovation party also. The iTouch is about the thickness of
    a couple of business cards and it easily drops into any pocket. The
    point is that you can see the real Internet on a high quality LCD with
    the iTouch if you tether it to a Win Mo phone while out and about.
    Also video looks far better on the iTouch than any comparable small
    screen device.

    If this is true I think that would have to be a 3G iPhone. NTT DoCoMo
    doesn't do GSM/GPRS/EDGE.

    True, but that might be the NTT DoCoMo version only, although I
    personally think there will be a 3G version for AT&T/Cingular as well.
