So maybe Lam knows about a product that's actually called "iPhone" and will be announced on Monday. Gizmodo holds their own and is not going to suffer huge drops in traffic when one of their editors plays a little joke on fanboys.

It's tagged with "Apple" "Cellphones" "iPhone"

If you experience chest pain, crashes, nausea, fatal errors, or any other discomforts during email or sex, seek immediate medical help. The most common side effects of iPhone use are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach, and strained eyes. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur. In rare instances, men using iPhone (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including iPhone) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop using iPhone, including iPhone, and call a doctor right away.

Although erections lasting for more than 4 hours may occur rarely with all ED treatments in this drug class, to avoid long-term injuries, it is important to seek immediate medical help.

If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at iPhoneShuffle. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25-mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of iPhone in a 48-hour period.

Why kill the sales?

Why would Apple kill the sales of current iPod during prime Chrsitmas holiday season? -- Unless iPhone would be available immediately ... ?

w00t! I got quoted by the arn!

Anyway, I still think it's a prank. Something about the combination of nonchalance and evasive language, combined with the general semi-seriousness of Gizmodo's writing style. I mean, they pump out a lot of gadget news, but I think people also turn to them (and pretty much any Gawker Media property) for entertainment value...

I call bull. Nothing about an announcement on Monday makes sense. Heck nothing until next year makes sense. At this point in time your average consumer has blown their proverbial money wad with Holiday shopping. Anyone who is signing up for a new contract for a phone for their kid, wife, whatnot has probably done it or is very close to doing it. It serves no purpose to announce that they are shipping the iPhone Monday.
And lets play devils advocate. An announcement on Monday would be for a shipping date later on in '07. That would make even less sense since the announcement is going to be buried with the approach of x-mas.
Finally if Apple is finally throwing their hat into the mobile phone market does anyone. I mean anyone think they wouldn't have an "event"? I'm not talking MWSF, even though that is a possibility, but some special event for its launch. I mean for the love of all that is holy they have done it with pretty much everything else. The movie store and the iPod with Video? Does anyone really think they wouldn't try and spin the same hype over a phone they developed?
Again I ball bull hockey on this.

I bet it's an wifi phone that integrates with iChat, whenever it comes out. Makes perfect sense. They are already pretty good at putting wifi in small spaces and streaming audio over it (airport express). The other option is a bluetooth phone, although that doesn't sound quite as exciting really. Plus more macs would have wifi I would guess. They already have the software on almost all macs. What would be really cool is if it is both a wifi and cellular phone in one.

I'll be suprised if we see it this Monday, but that would be great because that would leave more time in the Macworld Keynote for other cool announcements!
