The Wall Street Journal is reporting that in fact the iPhone is really real this time, although, of course, the name “iPhone” is taken. Cingular Wireless is expected to provide wireless service for a new phone device that Steve Jobs is expected to announce at tomorrow’s MacWorld.
Cingular was Apple’s partner on the ill-fated ROKR phone. The article isn’t clear exactly what Cingular’s role will be with Apple this go-around, but if Apple’s new phone is restricted to one carrier, the “billions” of dollars that the article suggest Apple could generate from its combined music player-phone seems unrealistic.
