Sunday’s Rumor: The iPhone Would be Named iSongTalk

Wimax_logo_biSongTalk sounds weird to me, why not iPodTalk? It would make a better fit with the nano and the shuffle. No? At least it would make more sense.

But iPhone’s name is not the only (crazy) rumor we have today. The iSongTalk, if we can now call the iPhone like this for the next few hours, would be based on WiMax technology instead of GSM!

I really don’t get that one because WiMax networks (a form of Wi-fi that can be deployed over an entire city) are not widely available. This is a technology that we’ve been talking for the last five years but is going to take another five years before it is deployed in most major cities. In fact, telecom equipment needed to deploy WiMax networks have been released only this year, after years of delays and problems. Jobs would want to make an iSongTalk phone that nobody can really use? The way he laughed at the Zune and its Wifi sharing capabilities makes me believe this is another rumor that will disappear in a few days…

iPhone or iSongTalks specifications are still a mystery! iSongTalk price at $600 and you can’t make a real phone call? Non-sense! And iSongTalk availability? I don’t even want to speculate!

That’s it for Sunday’s rumor! Stay tuned for Monday’s Rumor!
