Attendees at the Goldman Sachs 2007 Technology Investment Symposium Conference were reassured by Tim Cook, Apple’s COO that the iPhone is on track for launch in June. Apple website also revealed the support of Bluetooth 2.0 and EDR – this is music to accessory vendors such at Etymotic (maker of ety8 Stereo Bluetooth headset).

If you have not seen Scott’s write up about “some hands-on time with the iPhone, “ make sure to check it out. It makes for a good reading.

Apple files patent for “cover flow” preventing copycats.

It looks like the iPhone is on the up and up, because Goldman Sachs thinks it’s going to shake things up for the mobile industry. I’d say that’s a pretty good call on their part.

Ok, my remix of the night brings some interesting stuff. First up is this video of the E-TEN M600 Pocket PC. It’s literally pr0n for all the Windows Mobile fans hard up for an iPhone UI look-a-like (tops the “Best damn iPhone skin for WM5 (almost)“. As you will see in the video, the icons are just shortcuts to applications. However, that’s really nothing compared to the screensaver and scrolling. Just like the iPhone, the screensaver lets you slide your finger to the right to unlock the phone.

In a not so good news for T-Mobile subscribers, the company bars third-party software. As Wired so eloquently puts it:

Borrowing a page from Apple, which has declared non-Apple software will be verboten on its touch-screen Jezebel, T-Mobile appears to have decided to block unapproved third-party applications from accessing the Internet via their phones. Blocked apps include Opera Mini, Google Local and Mobilcast.

T-Mobile’s justification: it’s a security thing. The work around is to NOT buy your phones from T-Mobile; instead buy unlock phones and use it on T-Mobile. Complainers report that many banned apps work fine.

Nathan’s got the right idea that the hearing impaired can use the iPhone to communicate with co-workers, friends and family members – if only the camera was front-loaded. Why Apple, why did you have to put the camera on the backside?

I’m going to close out today’s remix with this freakish video iPod ad (by Hot Sauce Academy, NOT by Apple!). Warning, it’s not for the faint of heart. Looks like we were too late, the video got yanked for copyright claimed by Apple. The gist of the ad depicts three people dancing around then one of them shoots one down, and then blow the other dude’s brain out. Then takes an iPod out of his hand. It’s a cruel world we live in.

Fast-forwarding, I’m still waiting for response from the company on some fact checking before I can run the next UI article I’ve been telling you about. I’m also working on a review of the Gennum nX6000 Bluetooth headset and the Etymotic ety8 Stereo Bluetooth headsets. These two reviews should be up in a few days.
