There have been rumors for years about Apple developing an iPod iPhone. It seems that these rumors may be true and the development may finally come to fruition.

The iPod iPhone will probably not be like typical MP3 cellular phones. An MP3 cellular phone adds music to communications, whereas converting an iPod to a cellular phone would produce superior musical quality that cannot be created by corporations that have spent years in improving communications instead of sound format and quality.

Apple has filed a patent that is a bit vague as to what the patent is for, yet it apparently covers everything Apple would need in a patent for an iPhone.

No one can say for sure that this patent is for an iPhone, but there has been a lot of speculation about this. There are several photos available. There is even a photo of a mock up that was supposedly obtained by someone taking a picture of a trial sales brochure for the iPhone. Of course, everyone knows that photos can be altered, and no one knows for sure if the photo is an actual mock up of the iPhone or not, except for Apple and the person taking the photo.

There is also speculation that there may be two versions of the iPhone, one with Wi-Fi, yet most experts agree that it would not be feasible for Apple to introduce two versions in what will be a new market for them. It is rumored also that Apple plans to introduce the iPhone within the first half of 2007, and has already placed an order for 12 million iPhones from Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. Of course this is still just speculation, only a rumor.

No one will know for sure unless and until Apple makes the announcement. CNBC has shown patent drawings for what supposedly could be the first iPhone, and has reported that Apple is already developing a design for a second-generation iPhone. This broadcast is played on "youtube", and you can see it here…

There have also been rumors from trusted Apple sources that Apple corporation has no intention of developing an iPhone. There are rumors that if Apple were to release an iPhone, stocks would go down due to lack of interest from consumers.

But even with those who speculate that there will not be an iPhone, rumors are flying even faster than ever that there will be an iPhone introduced by Apple soon. These rumors are also supposedly from trusted sources and also from those who dream of the day that Apple does introduce an iPhone device to the market.

Nothing could be better than a cell phone with superior music quality combined with a cellular service that’s as dedicated to quality as the Apple corporation is. Although these rumors have been passed around for years, it seems that they are increasing in pace and also in exaggeration now that patents have actually been filed for something that could be an iPod iPhone.

Will Apple pull the string? Tune in next time…same bat time…same bat channel!
