After weeks of rumors, speculation and build-up regarding the possibility of an Apple iPhone and finally a due date of Monday for an announcement, we finally received news of an iPhone - from Linksys.

Needless to say, more than a few people were disappointed.

I also promised to buy readers an ice cream sundae if Apple didn't announce an iPhone device yesterday and it's time to face up to this. Come Macworld Expo San Francisco, we'll be combining the annual PowerPage photo with a Monday night migration out to an ice cream shop near the Moscone Center that PowerPage editor Jason O'Grady mentions as serving an extremely decent sundae.

We're shooting for a time on January 8th and further details will be published as they become available.
