The Apple phone was originally speculated to be both GSM and CDMA, but apparently, it'll only(?) be GSM for Cingular. On the bright side, you can most likely take it onto T-Mobile without too much effort.

However, being on Cingular can possibly mean the iPhone will sport HSDPA, which may also mean the Apple Phone will use HSDPA for video calling (iChat Mobile?) and high speed data. Of course, we pulled that last part out of our CES-sweat-stained ass just now, but it's possible. We'll find out tomorrow.

<![CDATA[ Gizmodo Coming At You Live From Macworld ]]> Not only do we have CES coverage completely nailed, we're going to be giving you live, up to the second blogging from Tomorrow's Macworld Keynote as well.

The latest developments in the past few days say that there's a 802.11n Airport Extreme X2 and X4 coming, as well as an Apple Phone on Cingular. This sort of skews our outlook on the odds a bit, but for all the non-iPhone/Airport Extreme hardware we're still sticking to our guns.

Make sure to mash the refresh button constantly tomorrow, and bookmark our Macworld 2007 link to get all our Apple coverage.

<![CDATA[ Bragworld '07 ]]>

Follow the entire Jobs Keynote on this dedicated keynote page.

9:15: Steve's talking about the transition to Intel within 7 months instead of 12. Praising third party app developers and users. "As soon as you saw these lightning fast machines, you bought'em".

9:17: Half of all new mac sales are to "switchers".

9:17: An Apple "switch" ad for Vista is being played. Hodgman is in hospital gown in preparation for the Vista installation—worried about what happens when they "fiddle with his insides". Hoo, snarky.

9:20: Brag-time again. 2 billion songs have been sold (1b to 2b in 10 months in 2006). 5 million every day.

9:21: Apple's now the #4 seller of music. Also, 50 million TV shows sold. 1.3 million movies sold.

9:22: Paramount's releasing its movies on the Apple store now. All old movies, including "all six Star Trek movies".

9:23: In November, the Zune had 2% and Apple had 62%. December stats aren't out yet.

9:24: Some new iPod ads are coming out. Multicolored people dancing instead of just shadowed people.

9:25: A second ad with the same music and the same dancers, but a different routine.
