Digital Home Thoughts: Jobs Talks Up Apple Cell Phone

"Apple Computer chief executive Steve Jobs has been boasting about his company's much-rumored iPod cell phone amongst inner circles, AppleInsider has been told. The remarks are uncharacteristic of Jobs, who is often regarded for his obsession with secrecy -- especially when it comes to unannounced products from his own company. But it's been said that Jobs' own excitement over the device has produced a number of zealous ramblings amongst personal acquaintances dating back to this spring. One person familiar with the ongoings believes the Apple cofounder has commissioned the release of cell phone prototypes to at least two potential OEM manufacturing partners in recent months. Current designs are said to conform to Apple's integrated model and leverage its tightly-knit digital media franchises, that person added."

That really is uncharacteristic of Jobs. Apple is usually very tight-lipped about their products and Jobs usually wows us all with his keynotes. Is he losing his flare? This past keynote was luke-warm at best and now this news makes me wonder. We are all expecting the iPhone to be coming out in the next 12 months but I prefer the under-promise and over-deliver. Now of course I am expecting this amazing device that will wow us all.
