An internet company may be stopping Apple from dubbing their upcoming phone as iPhone, but that doesn't stop the hype on the said Apple product. In fact, the hype is just about to get bigger as supposed images of the forthcoming Apple baby surface in the netvine.

Gruuve.com has posted what they say are iPhone photos passed on from an Apple employee.

Considering that today's iPods are now using the click-wheel design, most Apple watchers (or fans) feel that it's logical for Job's company to use click-wheel instead of multi-buttons. Also realised was the possibility that the iPhone pictures may just be Photoshopped versions of the iPod. Just take a look at this:
