When the Wall Street Journal has it, it’s real:

BREAKING: Cingular to partner with Apple @ Mobility Today

Cingular Wireless is expected to provide wireless service for a new Apple Computer Inc. cellphone, people familiar with the situation say.

The launch of the new phone and service is expected to be announced as early as Tuesday, these people say.

My current provider is Cingular, and my current cell phone is a piece of Sony Ericsson crap.  (It has a joystick that doesn’t work that often.)  Interesting.
