Due to the recent iPhone Nano fiasco with JP Morgan, I don’t really want to say too much about this rumor other than the fact that Wintek is supposedly supplying touchscreen panels for Apple’s forthcoming video iPod. It’s highly possible the new video iPod may become available sometime in August, according to sources within the Taiwan supply. Well, that’s all for now, I promise you’ll be the first ... continued »

Rumor: Apple releasing touchscreen video iPod next month?

iPhone WiFi directory launched; but where’s the shared wireless schemes?
Whether the iPhone has disabled 3G inside it or not, what's true right now is that for mobile use you're generally stuck with EDGE. I can't imagine there's any iPhone owner who wouldn't take advantage of a free WiFi hotspot if they could, and now there's apparently a really simple way to find what's available within range.

Are you a Twitterer?

Is ultra-portable MacBook Pro Apple’s next headline-grabber?

Well, MacScoop are reporting - thanks to these omni-present "trusted sources" we hear so much about - that Apple are moving toward announcing an incredibly light, thin laptop with a 12-inch screen that will round out the MacBook Pro range.

iPhone uber-review roundup
There've been a few big-scale reviews of the iPhone over the past week or so, and I wanted to take some time to flag a few up that I enjoyed reading. Ars Technica have posted up their magna-opus and are sending some pretty serious love Apple's way with an 8 out of 10 rating.

iPhone battery myth clarified: 80% power left after 400 charges
Do bloggers take things too literally? That's one of the questions being asked today, as various news sources shuffle their feet nervously and say "um" a lot when faced with how they've reported the iPhone's battery life. The key is how the iPhone's battery life was initially reported - as being good for 300 - 400 charge cycles after which it would need replacing - and how something ... continued »
