Ovum Comments on Apple Announcement

I thought this warranted a separate posting since the comments would probably get buried. I received a call today from Roger Entner, wireless telecoms analyst at Ovum, who has been attributed with helping The New York Times break the Apple/Motorola/Cingular iTunes phone story. As he also wrote in the comments section, Entner stated:

Just for the record: I did not break any NDA, embargo, nor used any privileged information provided to me by any of the involved parties, Apple, Cingular, or Motorola. Neither me nor anyone at Ovum was ever briefed on the upcoming announcement regarding this launch.

Just thought this was worth passing along and thanks for clearing things up Roger.
