Maybe you peepz should put your money where your mouth is.

I'm on Betfair, giving you odds of 5:1!!

So you bet £10, if you WIN I give you £50, but if Steve Jobs does not
announce an iPhone/iPod phone I keep your £10.

That's a rather open-ended bet. You would probably lose.

Perhaps you meant to say "... at the MacWorld Expo in January 2007".
That is more of an interesting bet (and not one which I'm willing to
make).

Never underestimate 'the Steve'. If the rumor is true, heads will roll
at Apple because of the leak. It will compromise his 'one more thing'
presentation. But he'll work around it. It's fun to follow Apple. Didn't
used to be that way for a time.
