In an interview with Forbes, the company’s vice president for applications, Eddy Cue, said Motorola and Apple would “have something coming on this in the first half of 2005 and we’re definitely on schedule for that. Hopefully you’ll be able to see more about it soon.” Although Cue declined to comment further on potential dates for the product, it has heightened speculation that the product will get its first public showing at January’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco, when Apple CEO Steve Jobs is due to deliver his regular keynote speech.”
