iPod is cool. And if they launch the VOIP phone, so-called iPhone using VOIP / MVNO technology, it’ll be a good hit.

Jackpot! Youngsters love it. They love the trendy and fashionable.

A market research company is (again) predicting that Apple will be entering the cellphone market soon. Visiongain argues that Apple sees the mobile phone market as a threat to its current iPod lead and is taking steps to address this by launching their own cell phone service and phone.

Rumors and speculation of an Apple-branded cell phone have been ongoing for years. Visiongain, however, is matching up Apple with Helio (interview) – an upcoming youth-oriented cell phone operator that operates as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). MVNOs are virtual cell phone providers which lease the wireless intrastructure from existing providers.

The company also suggests that Apple will somehow integrate Voice-over-IP (VOIP) technology into the phone service. This would presumably allow the phone users to talk directly to users of other VOIP internet services (Skype, iChat).
