As with all rumours, these about the new Macbook will mostly turn out to be false. Nevertheless, ComputerWorld seems to think that in addition to becoming thinner and more rounded like the Macbook Air, the next generation of Macbooks will have:

• Glass trackpads that allow multi-touch gestures
• A body made out of one piece of aluminum (which would be eco-friendly and more sturdy)
• Intel Centrino 2 processors
• Slightly bigger screens (14″ and 15.6″)

ComputerWorld estimates that the new Macbooks will be released in the last weeks of September. We’ll see if their predictions are correct, then…

Steve Jobs announced the new 3G iPhone at today’s WWDC Keynote. The new iPhone boasts GPS, 3G data, an updated design (including options of black or white for the 16 GB model), better battery life, and a whole lot more! Plus, the new iPhone will be substantially cheaper than the older model. With a 2 year contract, the 8 GB 3G iPhone will cost $199, and the 16 GB model will only cost $299. The new iPhone will also have iPhone Firmware 2.0- the newest version of the iPhone’s software. Sadly, you won’t be able to get your hands on the iPhone until July 11th : ( But, click here to get more information from Apple in the meantime!

Is the world ready for yet another iPhone? Are new iPhone users prepared to lament their purchases in the face of an earth-breaking announcement for Apple? Does anyone really care about the new 3G iPhone? Perhaps, not.  All the same, it has been confirmed that Apple will officially announce the 3G version of the iPhone on June 9th at WWDC. Yay?

Today, AT&T’s website gave the model option of “iPhone Black” when consumers tried to purchase an iPhone. Huh. Weird. It’s strange because there currently is no iPhone Black. Telecom Italia Mobile’s Executive VP Luigi Licciardi confirms that they’ll be selling the 3G iPhone next month.  AT&T backtracked after this was discovered and claimed that the “iPhone Black” option was merely a placeholder for the 16 GB model.  Yet, this makes no sense at all, since the 16 GB iPhone has never been called the iPhone Black and is not a separate model from the other iPhones. Looks like this one is out of the bag, Apple. Look forward to the 3G iPhone within the upcoming month!

If you’re looking for the trendiest new iPhone case, Griffin’s Wave Case is for you! With a new redesign to provide more interlocking surface protection, the Wave Case will be able to protect your iPhone against drops and scratches. Additionally, the Wave Case comes in six fun colours (black, red, blue, orange, green, and pink) and only costs 24.95!

Apple has been caught trying to file a patent for a “Dual Sided Flip” phone design. The Dual Sided Flip-Phone design has two distinct touch-screen interfaces, and when you close the Flip Phone, yet another touch-screen appears (for a total of 3 gorgeous touch-screens!) Take note that this Apple iFlip is probably still in planning, and may never actually reach the stages of production. Even so,  there’d be no complaints from me if Apple did choose to execute an iPhone like this!

Oh, you thought you were so cool with your spanking new iPhone, didn’t you? Well, prepare to be outshined… literally. Goldstriker decided to coat an Apple iPhone with pure gold. The resulting product is gorgeous and incredibly expensive. The 16 GB iPhone will run you 899 pounds (1,770 USD), so you’d better start saving if you want to be the coolest kid on the block. To ogle this phone (or to buy it, I suppose), click here!

So, for those not in the know, many iPhone users with a version 1.1.2 out of box (OOB or OTB) iPhone have been unable to unlock their phones to use with more reasonable providers like T-Mobile or Sprint. While, 1.1.2 OOB iPhones can be jailbroken to add new apps (follow these instructions here), there’s been no unlock. Yet, recently, teenager George Holtz (GeoHot), the original iPhone unlocker, unlocked the 1.1.2 firmware. If you haven’t updated to update 1.1.3, this unlock may work for you. But as George warns, you may BRICK your iPhone if you don’t know what you’re doing. Be careful! Here are the instructions (from On the Iphone):

“First download this pack, you will need these files. This includes the NEW secpack, a new ieraser, a new testcode.bb, and a new iunlocker.

1. Copy all the files to a directory on your phone. It is imperative you do not shut off the phone after ieraser, or you cannot restore wifi, since the only fls which works on 4.6 is 1.1.3 Install mobileterminal before you begin, in case you lose wi-fi. Also I advise doing this on 1.0.2, since resetting the baseband doesn’t cause problems.

2. Run ienew. This is ieraser, and it erases your 1.1.2 firmware to allow the testpoint to work.

3. Find an old 3.9 nor dump and create a file called “nor” with the first 0×20000 bytes of the old nor dump. This is the 3.9 bootloader.

4. Copy “nor” into the folder and run iunew. This is iunlocker and runs just like the old one. You will need the A17 testpoint on before running this. See Step 3 for info on this testpoint. If you restarted and lost wi-fi, it is fine. Just run it from mobileterminal.

5. The bootloader is now 3.9!!! Run bbupdater or restore phone with the AnySimmable firmware of your choice.

6. Run AnySim and, as usual, enjoy your unlocked iPhone.”

Additionally, the software unlock for 1.1.2 is nearly completed- this way, iPhone users won’t have to downgrade to 1.0.3, jail break, and then upgrade back up to 1.1.2. If you don’t feel confident in your mad haxx0r abilities, you can always try to purchase a TurboSim from eBay with the necessary software changes installed.
