who writes this shite?

Opening line:

 > "Apple Computer will announce Tuesday a cell phone with wireless  
service from Cingular Wireless, a news report said."

So you have Infoworld, quoting "a news report". Who's friggin' news  
report? What ever happened to journalism?

And then from MarketWatch:

<http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/apple-appears-ready-launch- 
mobile/story.aspx?guid=%7B3AC7B6F9%2D374F%2D4AF8%2DB3B7% 
2D1568497F6AD6%7D>

 > "We expect that four phones will be launched," Nomura analyst  
Richard Windsor said in a research note Tuesday.

Based on what, Dick? Care to make your statement sound even the  
remotest bit credible by citing some data?

and then more from maretwatch:

 > Analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray estimates Apple [snip]   
plans to make 12 million phones over the next six months. The new  
phones, which may be called "iPhone" and incorporate music-enabled  
features, aren't expected to be sold until mid-2007 or later.

Ok, Gene. Apple's going to make 12 million phones in 6 months. Based  
upon what data? And iPhone? Gene, have you ever heard of a little  
company called Cisco?

To quote FakeSteve: Frigtards.

The whole tech industry press has apparently given up on journalism  
and just quote each other's speculation. It's no longer about  
credibility, it's all about click throughs.
