It is no secret that Apple is planning a major overhaul of their MobileMe service this summer. It is just a fact. And of the many rumors currently swirling about this subject, the latest is also the most likely: Apple will add a sandwich delivery service that will be available to all of their new and existing MobileMe customers.

The exact details are apparently not yet finalized, according to Apple Inquisition’s insider. However, it would appear that Quiznos is a frontrunner in landing the lucrative partnership. When reached for comment, a Quiznos employee went on record saying that working with Apple would be “very exciting.”

But the question remains: why Quiznos? Our insider shares some information:

Quiznos is a moderately successful sandwich company, and if you’ve ever been inside one of their restaurants, I think that you’ll agree that they are the most Apple-y of all major sandwich franchises.

Apparently Subway was another contender in Apple’s testing phase, but their sandwiches were evidently too processor-intensive. It was very difficult to order a sandwich with the very limited battery life of the iPhone Nano.

While Apple has yet to finalize all of the details, Apple Insider has also heard that the name of the new service is going to be SandwichTime.

Apple is expected to launch the new MobileMe on Lincoln’s birthday.
