The industry is working on tags as small as the dot of on the letter 'i', or tags can be woven into fabric, in effect hiding them from the consumer. The best way to protect the consumer is to clearly label products that have the tags and let people decide whether or not they want to buy them.

Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.
