Apple iPhone Hype Pushes Apple Stock

Nov 21 2006, 11:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

When a week ago the rumor broke that FoxConn got a contract to build Apple iPhones I hesitated to actually write about it. Why? Because I am really tired of them.

Usually rumors are interesting. What I hate are these rumors that come and go for years like the iPhone one. In any case, the media is still full of iPhone reports and the Apple stock is rising and rising.

Today we even talk about a 2nd Apple phone, the so called iChat Phone. Hopes are high that Steve Jobs will introduce the iPhone at the MacWorld Expo in January of 2007. I so much hope so, because than the iPhone rumor will be finally dead.

Read this Reuters story for a good summary of the current rumors. Also fun is this story about betting on the iPhone launch date. Engadget runs a story about Palm's CEO Ed Colligan laughing off the Apple iPhone. Digitimes has a commentary on the challenges the Apple iPhone faces.

In case you are wondering what the image above shows, just click here to see tons of (fake) photos of the iPhone Google finds when searching for Apple iPhone.
