Apple preparing to launch AppStore as early as July 8?
Well that sure would be a surprise (or not, considering Apple’s penchant for throwing change-ups).

Sony Ericsson Paris spotted in new color
Even though we’re not sure when, or even whether (now when Symbian Foundation is formed) Sony Ericsson will officially unveil the Paris, the device has been spotted in new color.
