AppleInsider StaffIn the latest episode of his weekly podcast, Digg founder Kevin Rose claims some knowledge of Apple Computer's initial iPhone product.
Apple is also doing "some unique things" with the device, he said, like building in two separate batteries — one for the music player portion and the other for the actual phone.
Rose, who has provided accurate information on Apple products in the past, added that Apple is likely to introduce two models of the phone: a $249 4GB model and a $449 8GB model.
It should be noted that his past predictions on Apple products have come within hours, not months, of the formal introduction for those products.
Still, Rose appeared high in his convictions, even adding that a touch-screen may also be in the cards for the face of the device.

My 60GB 4th gen photo just broke (the harddrive died I think, It keeps saying its corrupt, anyone else have this problem?). I'm going to wait until the 8GB iphone comes out to replace it.
EDIT---
I think the post above has a mistake
"Rose, who has provided accurate information on Apple products in the past, added that Apple is likely to introduce two models of the phone: a $249 4GB model and a $449 4GB model."
it's $449 for the 8GB model. (according to macrumors.com)
I really can't support Apple in this. The cellphone is just a rude, rude invention. No amount of Apple polish can overcome the crassness of carrying a telephone around in your pocket.

You're right, I'd much rather be tethered to a cord.

The crassness is not carrying it. It's how many people use them that is the problem.
The real problems are:
I would say the prblem isn't the cell phoneitself. It more a lack of manners. Society has gotten more rude in a lot of ways, but that's a different rant.
edit: I read as "not going to happen" instead of "shouldn't happen". My bad.For $200 more I expect the 8GB model to be larger with a QWERTY keyboard.
