Mid-way down the article.
They get one thing wrong right off the bat in that article, which has little to do with the iPhone rumor directly, except that it throws some cold water on the otherwise deserved skepticism in the article. It says that Apple was early on the MP3 player bandwagon, which isn't true at all. and, for that matter, Apple was way, way late on the iTunes/CD ripping and burning thing too. My point being, the fact that there are already a bunch of similar mini-computer devices on the market now (that similarly have fallen short of consumer interest), and that alone doesn't really preclude Apple from making their own and capturing/expanding the market. I mean, that's not a good reason to doubt the rumor, as doubtful as one should be about it.
