Apple, an icon for 2 digital age, is again brewing somthing in ots backyard. Seems like its really in backyard, in the silicon farms of Tiawan.

iLounge published the unconfirmed report but seems reliable,

The market is full of rumor about iPhone. Although the domain of iPhone.com is not owned by Apple, but iPhone.org is.

This is the screen shot from Register.com.

Interesting fact: It's not that iPhone.org is owned by Apple, but Apple registered this domain in 1999. Seems they had a plan from late '90s.

Should I say, Thought Leadership. But why didnt they buy iPhone.com. OK, was not available at that time. But current owner bought just now. Am I missing something in thought leadership.

Question, when did Apple Launch iPod?
hmm.. October 2001.
