We’re not sure whether to believe this or not, but apparently the image above represents the upcoming 3G iPhone.

T-Mobile Germany sells iPhone for 99 EUR with 89 EUR/month plan!
We’re not sure whether to classify this as a deal or not, but getting an iPhone for 100 EUR (about $155) sounds tempting, nevertheless. Not all is sweet, though.

Griffin ClearBoost iPhone antenna-boosting case promises a lot, but does it deliver?
If you’re like me, you don’t buy into the antenna-boosting scam. I may be little harsh to the whole niche industry, but adding an external antenna without opening the actual device and connecting the wires simple doesn’t make much sense to me. Maybe I’m wrong… Anyway, we’ve recently spotted Griffin’s antenna-boosting case for iPhone called…
iPhone OS 2.0 firmware sports YouTube plug-in – possible Flash future for iPhone?

Apple job listing hints at handwriting recognition for the iPhone
You never know what’s Steve’s up to. Apple already have the handwriting recognition software in OS X and now they are searching for a new person to help them out to extend the technology “beyond Max OS X to other applications and the iPhone.” Hmmm, sounds interesting, even though we’re not actually dying for a…
