If anything leads one to conclude that Apple is making a move into the cellular telephony market, it's the [new deal](http://www.kashar.net/complete.asp?id=1431&ref=chrismessina.me) that has [Nokia dumping the newly open-sourced innards](http://press.nokia.com/PR/200506/998214%5F5.html?ref=chrismessina.me) of Safari into its phones. A significant development for many reasons, not the least of which is the choice of Apple's browser code instead of [Mozilla's](http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/?ref=chrismessina.me).... or even [Opera's](http://opera.com/download/?platform=symbian&ref=chrismessina.me) (a fellow Scandanavian company) for that matter. Whether this will lead to the fabled iPod [iPhone](http://www.business2.com/b2/web/photoessay/0,21937,1039453-5,00.html?ref=chrismessina.me), one cannot be sure, but with the [iPod Photo](http://www.apple.com/ipodphoto/?ref=chrismessina.me) already out there, it's only a matter of time before they toss a phone into the mix and make take the iPod to the obvious next level.
