It's not that easy to build a great Phone OS; if it turns out they're building their own, then I expect it will need a few iterations before it works well. But, there's no doubt that Apple is one of the very few companies that understands how to design great consumer electronics products. In time, I think we must expect great things from their phones. And I tend to believe Kevin Rose when he's had a few beers! So, I guess we'll see that first phone in January. It sounds kinda neat.

If anyone comes out with a 640 x 480 screen on a mobile next year, it will be Apple.
