The rumor mill is a churning as the September event Apple has planned inches ever closer. Usually around this time of year Apple refreshes the iPod lineup and this year hopefully should be no different. The iPod Touch was rumored to receive a camera addition last year and we know that never panned out as we though it would. But with the release of the iPhone 4, with it’s dual cameras, we should see the iPod Touch finally receive the highly touted addition. What is interesting, X-Doria, a Chinese accessories manufacturer has released photos of the pro-ported redesigned iPod Touch and Nano cases. The redesigned shape of the Nano shape is very similar to the LCD leaked earlier this year. Why Apple would reduce the size of the screen on the Nano is beyond me, but as always, they will of course make it work. Which in turn will make me want to buy it.
Samsung has a new tablet device coming to us this Fall, and here is the teaser trailer to show you. Nothing has been comfirmed but its speculated to have a 1024 x 600 AMOLED screen; Android 2.2; 3.2MP back-facing camera, and VGA front-facing camera. Not to shabby. What do you think? A possible worthy competitor to the Apple iPad? The iPhone has always had ‘supposed’ killer competition. However it just never paned out.
Internet chatter is becoming increasingly loud about T-Mobile getting the new iPhone 4 after years of exclusivity with AT&T. A reliable source states that high ranking T-Mobile officials have been given the new Apple iPhone 4 already running on the T-Mobile network to test the device. This move makes a lot of sense since many T-Mobile users are already using unlocked iPhones on the network now. This is a smart move since the T-Mobile network and AT&T share a similar GSM technology with the only difference being the 3G band. Earlier last month it was rumored that Verizon would be getting the iPhone 4 on their network, but the source says they are already using the iPhone 4 on the T-Mobile network.

We don’t know what the situation is with Apple Stores in regards to the White iPhone 4, but we’ve received an inside AT&T memo that sheds some light on the current situation with the lack of availability of the white iPhone 4 in AT&T stores. It basically confirms that the June 24th launch will not include white iPhone 4s and Apple will not give them a date as to when they will be available. They also do not have any information as to the amount of iPhone devices that they will be allocated for launch day. This could change shortly before the launch, but currently they don’t have details.
Unfortunately the video is in Thai. But these are the same guys who leaked the MacBook update a few days before it went live. So I’d have to believe this is the real deal. But this could also be one of the iPods from last year that was showing up on eBay, after Apple decided not to release it. What do you guys think?
The buzz around the internet today is that we might not be seeing a Verizon iPhone in 2010. It seems as if the soonest will be Spring of 2011. The reason: AT&T’s extremely low US data prices for the iPad. Verizon was at one time the front runner for the iPad, but AT&T hit hard with an extremely competitive price point, garnering more time as the only iPhone carrier here in the States. I was hoping that Verizon would get the iPhone. In my neck of the woods, AT&T’s coverage is sorely lacking, but Big Red is just about everywhere. As of right now this is all speculation. I for one am hoping that it is wrong.
Purely vaporware at this point, the ClamCase has a great opportunity to be the “it” accessory for the iPad. The case itself is designed to give the iPad a more traditional laptop appearance. The case includes a Bluetooth keyboard with an ultra-slim design. The ClamCase also doubles as a stand for your iPad, either vertically or horizontally. There is no pricing as of yet for the ClamCase, but it is expected to launch in the Fall of this year.
