Is the ZTC 321 – the iPhone
Please don’t tell me this might be the iPhone. The folks at ITTechNews.net found a phone called ZTC 321 on Taobao, a Chinese auction site, selling for roughly 998 Chinese Yuan or $127 USD. The handset features a 260k-color screen, a 1.3 Megapixel camera, MP3 and video playback. There’s no mentioning of storage capacity, but the site does say that it has a microSD slot.Is the ZTC 321 – the iPhone
(Look at the size of that iPhone* it’s definitely small as sh*t per Kevin Rose)And yes, the handset in question does sport what seems to be the famous scroll-wheel found on the Apple iPods. Keep in mind; looks can be deceiving like the fake scroll wheel on the Zune. What do you think – is it the iPhone?
iPhone expected to sport the clickwheel
Duh, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Apple is going to incorporate into the iPhone the one feature that makes the iPod, the iPod – which is its clickwheel. I like the rendering of what T3 refers to as the iPhone nano.“Music experience is [Apple’s] top priority,” Tortora says. “It would not do anything to comprise that.”“We believe that the music phone should be considered a music player that has phone capabilities rather than a phone with a built-in music player.”
So if the clickwheel is front and center, the iPhone would then have to be a slider type handset. The first iPhone is still expected to feature a camera, two batteries but lacks Wi-Fi, video functions, QWERTY keyboard and a larger OLED display. Those features are expected to show up in the second version – due to release in Q3 or Q4 of 2007.
