TecheBlog may have revealed the real thing - an Apple branded mobile phone named the iChat Portable.
From first glance, the mobile seems to be a PDA-phone of sorts, full touchscreen encased in Apple's signature iPod-white casing. Of course, the iPod would be one of the key functions for the phone. Judging by the name, the phone functionality will be based on Apple's iChat software, inline with the rumours that the phone would run off a modified version of OSX.
OF course, MacWorld begins next Monday, January 8th, with Steve Jobs' keynote scheduled for Tuesday January 9th, so this is when the iChat Portable will be officially announced. Until then, even a cell phone photo of the poster and the real product in its packaging will not convince some, but at least its enough to tide a few days. I'll post full details here when they are revealed.
UPDATE 2: The source of the pictures, TechEBlog, has now confirmed the pictures to be a fake, an unfortunate turn-of-events given that the announcement is only a few days out.
More.
