| ...Gizmodo?
While I have little doubt there is going to be a 3G iPhone coming very soon, I rarely turn to a site such as Gizmodo for technology news, especially when they have a history of creating bullshit stories with flashy headlines to get pageviews. |

@sbcglobal.net | Huh? The story missed by only one day. It was announced on Tuesday as opposed to Monday at Macworld. How is that "bullshit?" |

| That Gizmodo story was on 12/14/2006... Apple did not announce the iPhone until 01/09/2007. How long is a day where you are from?  Anyway...
What was announced on that Monday, 12/18/2006 was the Cisco Linksys iPhone. Cisco had already trademarked the name and released an iPhone before Apple could, and later they agreed to let Apple use the name anyway.
So, Gizmodo was not incorrect in the story, as they never said "Apple to announce..." the iPhone on Monday. But I guess many people felt they were misleading, since the author knew it was the Linksys iPhone.
I seriously doubt they're trying to mislead anyone at this point. With all the European hints about it, the new designs for iPhone cases, etc, I don't see how it's not going to be announced at the next Apple press show. |
