The companies believe that they have an affinity as brands that are perceived as both ‘positive’ and ‘innovative’. Source: Guardian Unlimited

Granted the Apple Phone (recently guessed incorrectly as the iPhone in the blogosphere) has been a long-standing rumor dating back to 2002, this rumor seems to be credible this year with Taiwan’s Hon Hai leaking that they received a 12 million unit contract. All I know is that I’m in a holding pattern to upgrade my Treo right now. […]
