Yep stingerman and they're going to call it the iPhone...

And it just makes sense. Remember before the iPod when there were MP3 players aplenty but the whole experience was just too techie for the common man to use.

Well, I think Apple will pull another iPod with the iPhone by finally getting phone cameras right.

That is to say, >3 megapixel, with GPS info along with tons of memory to store all the pictures in (along with the music and videos of course).

Apple may just leapfrog everybody else (again) by introducing a true multifunction device that does:

phonecalls
music
podcast
video, music, tv shows, movies, etc.
games
Contact & Calendar Management (courtesy of iSync with Address Book and iCal. It's already here for the iPod, but is not really that useful)
Location aware Mobile web surfing (hopefully, with an option to go thru a bluetooth connection and/or Wi/Fi instead of em expensive cell minutes). Location aware so you can ask for the closest ATM and Google Maps will dutifully guide you there
And since you have GPS, might as well get GPS turn-by-turn directions as well

If anybody can pull it off, Apple is really the only player in the market that is vertically integrated from HW to SW and Content that can do it.

If only they can address the pesky battery management problem...

While we're in daydreaming mode, maybe they can design the phone with inductive charging as well. If my low-tech electric toothbrush can do it, why not the iPhone?

As for the Zune and everybody else? Oh, we will just Zune ForgetForSure...
