Well it looks as though we have our first leaked images of the new 3G enabled second coming of the iPhone. Via Engadget who got the pics from a French blog, who got the pics from a unnamed source, we see images of what is hard to discount as real, even given Apples tight security. (Leave it to the French to find a way).
At the moment, I don't like it but it will most likely grow on me.
I'm always amazed when Google spends time updated and working on products for the iPhone. When Android hits the street it will be in a heavy fight with the iPhone, or maybe they simply feel their coming product will be so superior that they are in no way worried.
What ever the case, until then Google has updated the interface for Google Apps on the iPhone.

Alternatively, you can connect to your Gmail account with your iPhone's Mail application, using IMAP for free.

It wasn't enough for Apple to allow you to get your DVD's on the same day they are released through iTunes. Nope, they had to go and also offer it on AppleTV. Without telling anybody.
Yes we can! Now owners of AppleTV can purchase same day releases from the comfort of their couch and remote control. Even watch trailers, try that at Target.
Yep. pretty soon nothing will be tangible.
0.21% is the jump that Safari on Windows has made since it went from 3.0 to 3.0.1 says Net Applications, a browser and OS tracking company. More and more Windows users are giving the browser from Apple a try, especially since it force fed itself onto them via iTunes. But however they try it, they're trying it and apparently a growing number of users are liking it.
This is great news for Apple and for any web designer. I myself in the last two weeks have discovered how painful IE7 really is. On another site in development, the site looks and preforms beautifully in Safari and just about every other browser than IE7. IE7 is the only one that completely messes everything up. The IE8 Beta even does a better job at rendering. After reading page after page and forum after forum, I quickly found out that I'm not the only one who wishes everyone would stop using the lousy browser. And that's not just coming from a Apple fanboy, the bulk of which are PC users.
Anyway, this is a good sign that more and more PC users are moving away from IE7 and trying out other browsers, Safari being one of them.
Just what you always wanted, and it's here! Well not exactly, but it will be according to iPhone thrill seekers over at TUAW. It seems a new code was spotted for the iPhone, a code that will turn into an app to give you remote control of your iTunes from your iPhone.
It looks like iControl will give you control over just about every function with iTunes.
Why would you need this? So that you could say you have it.
Pictured is the new stand alone version of SplashID for the Mac desktop. SplashData has released a version of the desktop application that they say will sync with you SplashID 4 Handheld program. I have tried it with my Blackberry, it does not work.
But, it does work for Palm and for Windows Mobile. And what is better yet, SplashData has now updated the entire package so that you can download and use on your Mac, just like you did when it was 3.0. Hooray!
It's been a long time coming, but all of us Apple/Palm users, which make up the majority of Palm users, can now at long last enjoy all of the updates a features of SplashID 4.

What's going on with Apple and Intel? Why is Apple in the market for a Chip maker, isn't Intel keeping the heat on? According to Engadget, Apple just spent $278 million acquiring P.A. Semi, a microprocessor design company.
As Cliff from Cheers would say, "What's up with that?". Analyst are speculating that Apple is trying to position themselves far to the left of all the other Intel loving gadgets on the market, which really isn't a stretch. This one his going to be piled over for weeks to come.
