Well…..stated right on the Apple iphone home page is “This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.” [Link]

So with that said and only two months to the stated release.

Can the FTC hold up the iPhone? Lets hope not.

Well now we know!! CNet’s recent broadcast of related iPhone blogs has informed us that Cingular has confirmed the release date of Apple’s new iPhone.

Note that is the first day of Apple’s World Wide Developers conference. Maybe they will release Leopard on the same day.

More news to follow.

Thanks for the info CNET!!!

Welcome everyone with any interest to Apple’s new iPhone(tm?).

Will Apple do it again? Will they have another iPod? It already is an iPod with a better screen.

The true test is will is it be everything they say? I have seen the demo, seen the phone (behind a glass case, arggh!), and read the articles. Now everyone has to wait……… Will it be out in June?? Only time will tell. Apple seems to be much better about there timelines in the recent years over the past.

So why this blog? Well being an systems consultant and having used the Treo for many years, this is the first phone that looks to have it all. I know the Blackberry’s are available, but I need to point and click whether it be a mouse, trackball, or a PDA. So seeing the new iPhone with the ability to have wireless internet via cell or Wi-Fi, having an interactive touch screen, and possibly take over my recently purchased iPod video features, I’m seriously interested! as well as most of my clients.

So this blog is to capture as much information about the iPhone and share with everyone. The plan is to post the trials of setup, installation, integration, hot syncing, installing new apps, and anything else you or someone else would want to know about the iPhone.

I welcome your posts.
