Apple iTalk

I was talking with a friend about all the current postulations surrounding the upcoming "next-gen" iPhone and I was reminded that just a little over 18 months ago, all the popular media outlets were abuzz with rumors of Apple announcing a phone and a wide-screen iPod.

So here we are again waiting, this time for Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference where rumors range from a 3G iPhone to mysterious new "electric computers."

Do you remember the iTalk, which landed on YouTube in 2006? I remember watching this and thinking, "Yeah, I'd buy one of those."

You know, if Apple releases one of these on Monday, I still think I'd buy one.

Whether you subscribe to all the Apple product hype or not, there's no denying that the iPhone has totally changed what people expect from their cell phones.

What do you think?

UPDATE: CrunchGear has photos of the "new" iPhone. Or do they??
