iPhone inconsistent for iPod phone name E-mail

Most of us have heard of the iPod Nano, the iPod Shuffle and the iPod Video. Whatever made us think that an Apple iPod phone device would be called an iPhone?

The fact is that there have been many rumours and seemingly credible reports that a combination Apple iPod and mobile phone is in the works and will be unveiled in early 2007.
The name iPhone was a speculative name coined by the media.

The fact that Cisco's Linksys division has launched a portable Internet phone called iPhone does not affect the likelihood of an iPod phone eventuating.

After all, every single portable music player device in the iPod range has been prefaced by the name "iPod".

So surely a more likely name for an iPod phone would be something like iPod Talker or iPod Speaker or iPod Speakeasy or simply iPod Phone? {moscomment}
