Uncle Walt says A le is working on an iPhone

Walt Mo erg, Uncle Walt to me, is the top tech journalist without a doubt. When he says something in his Wall Street Journal column people pay attention. Contrast that with the fact that when I say something on TUAW I am often mocked until I cry.

Now, Walt's most recent column is all about how A le's model of controlling the device from end to end is the way to go. Not too newsworthy, in and of itself, however, that's not the bit that has the Mac web all aflutter. Here's the juicy bit, 'Now, A le is working on other projects built on the same end-to-end model as the iPod: a media-playing cellphone and a home-media hub.'

OMG! WALT JUST ILLED THE BEA ! iPHONE! iPHONE!

Everyone just calm down. Take a deep breath. Ok, good. Now, I don't know if Walt has some i ide information (he probably does), but I can a ure you that it doe 't take i ider knowledge to figure out that A le is working on an iPhone and a media hub. The real question is: will it ever be released? A le works on all kinds of nifty gear in their R%26am D la , many of which never see the light of day.

With all that said, wouldn't an A le cellphone be pretty cool?

Thanks, Brendan.
