3G Apple iPhone Photo

A 3G Apple iPhone photo leaked out on iTunes today. The 3G Apple iPhone is definitely in the works, but it is highly unlikely that Steve Jobs would allow any sort of leaked pictures on iTunes. But, who knows? Maybe the photo at left is indeed the new and improved iPhone.

For now, Apple is sticking to the one carrier distribution model - AT&T. But, most likely we’ll be seeing some different carriers working with Apple to carry the iPhone. I just don’t see Apple tying themselves down to a limited amount of people. So whether or not this is the true 3G Apple iPhone, hopefully it will soon be available.

Asus spills more details on the 9-inch Eee

In a recent interview, Asus CEO Jerry Shen talked up the company's newest edition to the Eee family, and also dropped a few more details on the forthcoming laptop. Apparently, the new set of miniature PCs will carry SSDs as opposed to the flash memory we saw in previous iterations, with sizes ranging from 8GB in the XP-equipped model, up to 12GB or 20GB in the Linux versions -- though it's hard to say why the smaller-footprint Linux would need more drive space. Shen also revealed that there are tentative plans to release WiMAX and HSDPA-enabled models sometime in Q3 of 2008, and he confirmed that come May the company will trade up from VIA CPUs to Intel's Diamondville (er, Atom) chips. In addition, more colors are on the way, and the base price in the US will be $499 at launch -- though that figure is expected to drop in the following months.
