Hot Apple Rumors: 32-GB iPhone Almost Certainly A Go
Wait, it’s a 32-GB iPhone! No, it isn’t! No, wait again, yes, yes, it might be! With Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference mere weeks away, the rumor mill for its next-generation iPhone and iPod Touch software is chugging at breakneck speed. Earlier this month, rumors began to surface that the next iteration of iPhone would sport a faster processor and 32 GB of storage. While the initial 32-GB rumors from Chinese Web forum Weiphone were initially dismissed as idle speculation, additional iPhone rumors emerging Tuesday suggest a 32-GB iPhone is indeed what’s in the works.
T-Mobile Austria listed a placeholder on its Web site—later picked up by half the blogosophere—indicating an iPhone 32 GB, and another smartphone blog, Area Mobile, served up an actual screen shot of that placeholder.
An Australian blog, MacTalk, also claims to have seen an internal e-mail to retail employees from Vodafone, which carries the iPhone in Australia. The e-mail to employees tells retail staff, according to MacTalk, that the 16-GB iPhone is an end-of-life product.
While to date most of the speculation has been on the features and form factor of the iPhone itself, there are also emerging rumors on new iTunes and download functions. The latest, from Open Salon blogger Kwame Jones, gets at the 3.0 version of Apple’s iPhone software—specifically, that iPhone and iPod Touch users will be able to download TV shows and movies directly to their handhelds.
If that’s true, direct movie and TV downloads would remove the cumbersome step of having to plug an iPhone or iPod Touch into a computer and accessing the content through iTunes. Currently, only video and audio podcasts can be downloaded directly to the devices.
In a Friday blog post, Jones cited a blogger with the handle “Geeky Friend” claiming to have viewed services called “iTunes Movies,” “itunes TV” and “iTunes Movie Rentals” using TwitterFon, one of the iPhone’s Twitter applications. Jones also posts screenshots sourced to “Geeky Friend” that show movies, TV episodes and movie categories in separate menus.
As ChannelWeb commenters are never loath to tell us, we could just as easily wait to hear the actual Apple announcements from the Worldwide Developer Conference, kicking off June 8. But that wouldn’t be nearly as much fun for us, would it now? Leave a comment below and let us know what you’re thinking about the latest iPhone speculation.
Nokia Siemens Networks (News – Alert) and TELUS reportedly have entered into an agreement under which Nokia Siemens will provide TELUS (News – Alert) with radio access network and core network technology, including Flexi Base Station for TELUS’ new next generation wireless network.
TELUS has announced its plans to build – in association with Bell – a next-generation wireless network with equipment from Nokia Siemens. Initially, the network will be based on the latest version of high-speed packet access technology.
The network will complement TELUS’ existing 3G network solutions and future-proofs TELUS for a smooth transition to fourth generation technology based on the long-term evolution standard. A full national launch is expected by early 2010.

“Since its inception, Nokia Siemens Networks has been committed to the Canadian market and its potential for further advancement in next-generation wireless services, so we are extremely pleased to have been selected by TELUS,†said Sue Spradley, president for North America at Nokia Siemens Networks.
She also said that Nokia Siemens will deliver to TELUS advanced wireless network infrastructure that will position them for a seamless, cost-effective transition toLTE ( News – Alert) in the near future.

Waterloo (eCanadaNow) -Â If a device was intended to be a clone of the iPhone, then the new Research In Motion Ltd.’s (RIM)Â BlackBerry Device would be a good candidate.
The newly released Blackberry 9000 is a device that appears to be so closely based on the Apple iPhone that it is nearly a clone.
“Look at those picks and tell us RIM CEO Jim Balsillie didn’t slap an iPhone down in front of his designers and say ‘Give me something exactly like this,’” Silicon Alley Insider’s Henry Blodget wrote.
This has caused quite a bit of consternation on the part of Apple, Inc, and there are already cries of patient and copyright infringement.
The Canadian technology company RIM is being accused of ripping off their current BlackBerry 9000 design from the Apple iPhone design.
Industry insiders speculate that the similarities are not accidental, that it appears as if RIM designers were sat in a room with an iPhone and asked to make something closely like it.
The differences are small but notable:Â The Blackberry 9000 appears to still have a superior keyboard and less of a multi touch screen format than the iPhone, but this appears to be about the only large difference.
For years the BlackBerry has dominated the business communications market, and with the ease and popularity of the Apple iPhone it was believed that Blackberry went back to the drawing board in an attempt to compete.
However, their new effort appears largely a copy of the iPhone, without the touch screen easy assess that the iPhone offers. It will be interesting to see how the situation plays itself out.
