I was gifted these classics today after mentioning I’d never had a pair at school. It seems my benefactor is a little addicted to buying retro sneakers on eBay. I don’t mind though because they made a spot on gift to me Thanks!

There are two sides to this coin. On the one hand, the handful of pictures that have just popped over on UMPC Fever demo many of the features we’re expecting to see in new iPhone hardware this summer – magnetic compass, autofocus camera, video recording capability, and a battery percentage meter in the status bar. On the other hand, having a good feel for those rumoured features makes it that much easier to mock up ridiculously blurry shots of them in action. The compass seems a little overdone, but then again, it’s not necessarily out of place considering the direction Apple has taken its voice recorder app in 3.0, so we’re going to play the cautiously optimistic diplomat here and say these could very well be real.

It’s possible that we might be looking at two new variants of iPhone hardware here. Note the difference in styling between the phone on the right and the phone on the left? If we’re to believe what we’ve heard about the future of the line, these could be the first photos of what Apple has in store for WWDC. The model on the right might easily be that matte version heard about already… but that thing on the left? No idea, though it would be an insane move on a counterfeiter’s part to fake something so bizarre. What we mean is: it’s almost too weird to be fake.

Here is a tidy little roundup of all the iPhone rumours to date. The latest (pictured) is a supposed top-facing bezel frame for the "Apple iPhone 3Gen 2009." Besides being black unlike the chrome edge of the iPhone 3G, iLounge and others have noticed a repositioned ear speaker, tucked high against the top-edge that could be making way for a front-facing camera or additional sensor(s). iLounge also claims that there will be three new models (3G, enhanced 3G, and mainland China version lacking WiFi?) of iPhones with matte plastic bodies less prone to scratching. Importantly, countries will get the phone appropriate to their telco’s capabilities. iLounge says users won’t have to choose between a fast and slow iPhone, they’ll get what their carriers can support. Each will ship in a choice of two capacity options with 32GB being the top-end rumored. Oh, and iPhone 3.0 will also get into the Nike+ game without requiring an adapter (like the iPod touch). These rumors ride a wave of reports that inventories of the iPhone 3G are running low and component makers are now shipping parts for the next generation iPhone. So Steve Jobs or not, still expect the hardware to be announced at WWDC with possible July 17 launch.

I took the chance earlier to work with the Vista logo and create a Vista icon. download and enjoy.

WTF! Did I miss something? I never realised there was a new SP coming out, then BOOM! – Its on my updates list! Crazy.

Face it: in between waiting for Windows 7 to launch and tweaking the XP build on your newly purchased Netbook, there’s this little thing called Windows Vista that needs to be maintained. Today, Microsoft did its part and released the standalone installers for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Service Pack 2 for Vista and Server 2008. Now it’s all up to you. Hit the read links to patch the Wow with a little SP2 Meh.

This has happened before, right about this time last year when we were all patiently waiting for the iPhone 3G to be announced. Once again, it’s been discovered that the latest beta of the iPhone SDK has icons for an unreleased version of Apple’s finest. We’ve been able to verify that two icons tucked away in a deep folder refer to black and white versions of the "iPhone 2.1" (black is pictured left), which is one of the internal model codes we’ve been hearing get thrown around for a while now. Thing is, the icon is identical to the one being used for iPhone 1.2, better known as the iPhone 3G, so Apple is either smartly using a placeholder until the final SDK build, or the latest and greatest model is a dead ringer for the old. I reckon its the first.

A bona fide "iPhone 32GB" placeholder has appeared in the ‘Coming Soon’ section on T-Mobile Austria’s website. A similar slip at T-Mobile Germany was very accurate two years ago. I’m cautiously optimistic that all those rumors of a bigger, better iPhone are legitimate. We wont know for sure until the WWDC but  June 8th isn’t too far off anyway.

Update: The powers that be have now removed the offending article on T-Mobile Austria.

Update 2: Looks like Vodafone Australia has sent out a notice that the 16GB iPhone has been deemed "End of Life" by Brightpoint, who supplies its iPhones… Beginning of the end?
