Sprint Might Launch the Blackberry 2 on Thanksgiving Weekend
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.
Chubby iPod Nano Rumours
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.
Xbox 360: “I can has price drop?”
This will be the wind beneath the rumour mills. Both the Toys R US ad (pictured above) and the Wal-mart ad (below) clearly show the Xbox 360 getting a $50 price drop down to $349. If you’re holding off for the price drop, the alleged date for the price drop to take place is August 8th.
The Newest iMac Keyboard Leaked Photos
According to Engadget, his is the rumoured slim, brushed aluminum keyboard that is expected to go with Apple’s new iMacs. However, like all “leaked” photos, these pictures of the new keyboard could end up to be photoshopped. Yet, someone at the Rhapsody Apple forum in Hong Kong is attempting to sell these for 153 USD. As the new iMacs are expected around August 7th, 2007, I suggest you wait a bit before buying through dubious dealers. Odd though: there is no apple logo on the command key.
