Apple is widely expected to release an iPod phone, and more details are now surfacing. The highly-anticipated device, already the source of constant chatter, will offer a natural progression for the current iPod lineup. Already, Apple has brokered a deal with Motorola, a move that resulted in several iTunes-enabled devices – including the recent MotoRAZR v3i. But those devices are decidedly non-iPod, contain significant storage restrictions, and closely resemble other Motorola phones. Meanwhile, Apple has also reportedly been collaborating with Japanese mobile operator Softbank, a move that would place the company in the middle of mobile-savvy Asia.
During a recent earnings call, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer pointed to an upcoming launch. But when will the iPod phone actually hit the streets? Think Secret, once the source of an Apple lawsuit related to the publication of confidential company leaks, has now pointed to an early 2007 release. The journal quoted several sources, who noted that Apple is now working through technical challenges related to iPod mobile convergence. The device, which could land in January, will allegedly offer a 3-megapixel camera, a 2.2-inch display, and seamless iTunes connectivity, according to the sources.
