After the Nokia N82 was launched, Sony Ericsson practically lost the camera phone war, if there was one. The current Cyber-shot devices produce photos of lower quality than Nokia phones. But, that’s about to change, or we hope it will… The Sony Ericsson C905 aka Shino is the next step in the Cyber-shot camera phone…
Flickr photos show Nokia N79, Nokia N85, Nokia 5800 XpressMedia Tube in the flesh
There’s nothing like a little in-the-flesh product leaks to start of the day. I don’t know how leaks like this happen, but I’m glad someone had foresight to save these images of Nokia’s N79, N85, and 5800 XpressMedia Tube before the originating Flickr account got deleted. The Nokia N79 hasn’t been confirmed for production and…
Apple to allow carriers to subsidize iPhone
If the 3G iPhone launches with A-GPS, tri-band HSDPA, and video recording, we’ll be more than happy to wait in line to give Apple more of our hard-earned money. But, if Apple ends up allowing carriers to subsidize the price of the next-generation iPhone, there are going to be throngs of iPhone hopefuls lining up…
3G iPhone details from Vodafone employee, leaked iPhone 3G firmware confirms tri-band HSDPA and GPS
And they just keep rolling in like unstoppable forces of nature. The iPhone 3G (or 3G iPhone / iPhone 2, call it what you want) rumors are starting to get dizzyingly out of hand. Late last night we saw some purported marketing material leaked out for all 3G iPhone hopefuls to drool over, but it…
Leaked 3G iPhone pics hit the web – iPhone 2 to get video chat, available in Red… maybe
Cue the dramatic music, please. Last year, around the time the iPhone was originally announced, iPhone mockups and allegedly leaked images flooded the web. This year, things are different. Apple’s WWDC 2008 is so close we can almost taste the geeked-out sweat from the throngs of Apple fans and haters itching to get their first…
Apple working on 2.8- and 3.2-inch iPhone? Thinner and thicker iPhone in the works?
Some rumors suggest that the 3G iPhone will launch with a casing that’s thicker than the current iPhone and others point toward Apple’s next-generation iPhone sporting a thinner casing. It’s all muddled in a fantastically confusing pool of 3G iPhone rumors that almost makes your head hurt. And, to make sure that pain doesn’t subside…
TIM to announce 3G iPhone on Monday or Tuesday?
Reuters is reporting that Italian carrier TIM will announce the 3G iPhone on Monday or Tuesday. And while we would like to believe that true — and considering WWDC starts on Monday it makes perfect sense — we still must post this under our “Rumors” section. Until we hear anything official from Apple or Telecom…

New Apple iPhone patent covers everything, hints at GPS and video conferencing, credits Steve Jobs with inventing iPhone
In a massive 371-page patent filing, Apple has filed for patent rights on almost every aspect of the iPhone’s UI and functions. The USPTO has just published the patent application and it looks like Apple’s aiming for long-run success with the iPhone – with Steve Jobs taking credit for inventing the iPhone. The recently published…
Apple’s 3G iPhone to be thinner – next-generation iPhone will have GPS and be 22% thinner?!
If Leander Kahney is to be believed, the next-generation iPhone will be 22% thinner. Kahney cites “a programmer at a major software publisher,” in his speculation that the 3G iPhone will launch with a considerable bit of girth shaved off from the current generation iPhone. The 3G iPhone is said to not only sport integrated…
