Apple iPhone Rumor #698: Exclusive to Cingular

Filed in archive Device Evolution by Scott on September 27, 2006

Just when it gets quiet, the Apple iPhone rumor machine cranks back up, rattling its overworked cylinders. In the latest installment, Apple has supposedly done an exclusive deal to distribute the iphone via Cingular in the US, and has ambitions to sell 50 million units next year. Of course, this requires the cooperation of Cingular's store staff, something I can't count on.

Meanwhile, Nokia is pushing the mobile music market into a higher gear even without Apple as well with more storage and new devices for music.

What do you think: is this iPhone rumor trash or cash?

Apple Computer Inc is forecasting sales of 25 million iPhones in the first year (via). It has signed a 6 months exclusive with Cingular to sell the phone. Apple Computer Inc believes it can outdo Motorola. The Motorola RAZR has sold 50 million iPhones since 2004.

Apple is VERY ambicious. I don't think sales will be more than 20 million units

Nokia OWNS the mobile music market, than comes Sony walkman... I can't see where's Apple in the game.
