I got this info from my dad, whom I believe is not a legit source. He SWEARS ON HIS LIFE that this is not hogwash (hehe, hogwash 
) though. I personally don't believe this, and I won't until I see it. Just telling you this now so you won't flame me or anything...
Anyways.... So yesterday my dad went to a tradeshow in long beach (in CA) and personally talked to a CEO of (insert company name here when I ask my dad later tonight... some satellite company I would assume), which told him that apple and (the company) just signed a contract which will be put into effect in March of '09, where iphones will use both satellite radio and music off of itunes. They (the Iphones) will have 3G by then says the CEO, which will allow users to download OTA firmware updates via satellite receiver in iphones and from cell towers in the area.
That's all my dad told me, and it sounds like that was all he could get out of the CEO. I'll ask him again tonight to see if he did learn anything else from the CEO, and I'll get the name of the company from him too.
Like I said before, I don't believe this to be true, especially knowing the nature of apple's contracts and how secretive they generally are. But I personally think this would be a nice addition to the already sweet Iphone.
