Rumours for the Upcoming Macbook: New Design and Glass Trackpad

Danielle — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 06:08:24 +0000

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…

According to the BGR, AT&T is soon going to be offering the Samsung BlackJack II in Pink and Blue. These two new models have already appeared in stores, boasting a white front and either blue or pink back casing. At the same price as the original BlackJack II, there’s no reason not to spice things up a little with new colours!

This is probably too good to be true, but Nikon Rumors claims they have leaked pictures of what they believe will be Nikon’s D90- the successor to the wildly popular D80 camera. Personally, the above camera looks like a hastily photoshopped Nikon D80 (notice the shabby D90 indicator), but only time will tell.

TmoNews claims that two new sidekicks will drop this summer. The first, named SK Gekko, will allegedly launch July 27th. The second side-kick, code-named Sidekick Aspen, is estimated to have a July 30th launch. And look out! 3G capabilities are possibly in the future for these new sidekicks!

3G iPhone Rumours

Allegedly, the 3G iPhone will be available in three options- a 8 GB phone that will retail for $399, a 16 GB model that will sell for $499, or perhaps even a 32 GB iPhone that will be available for $599. Additionally, the new 3G iPhone will be 2.5 mm thinner than the current iPhone. Currently, TG Daily reports that the 3G iPhone will drop in June, after Apple hosts the WWDC (Worldwide Developer’s Conference) that starts on June 9th. While the implications of the 3G iPhone’s arrival on other Apple products (the current iPhone) remain uncertain, you can be sure that this is one deal you won’t want to miss!

According to the BGR, Sprint is looking to launch the Blackberry Pearl 2 during Thanksgiving Weekend (Black Friday Weekend). This updated Pearl will have integrated GPS, but sadly no WiFi. Anyways, this will help Sprint start off the holiday season with good profit margins, and will brighten many a Blackberry Pearl fan’s dreary winter day.

The above is an artistic rendering of the upcoming iPod Nano that Gizmodo created to avoid legal suits. Basically, Apple just confirmed the legitimacy of the above photo. And I’m sure that you can still find some of the “spy shots” online… (check here). I, along with others, am not a fan of the new look. But, perhaps, it grows on you. According to analysts, the price point will be competitively below $300, and the fatty Nano should be released in September.

Future iPhone Updates?

Although many iPhone users are holding their breath for updates, it appears that the key to future updates lies in the firmware itself. In one of the system preference files, “Default ApplicationState.plist”, there are a few unexpected features- most interestingly radio, translation, and the unit converter. It seems that Apple may implement support for radio streaming or even an FM tuner on the iPhone.
