Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Hardware , Odds and ends , iPhone , App Store The iPhone blogs says they’ve uncovered the very first photos of a brand new version of the iPhone (the pictures are watermarked from a site called UMPC Fever ), and while there’s no actual indication that they’re real (at the very least, it wouldn’t be hard at all to make a picture and load it on the iPhone stream), they are worth a look, if only as ideas. The pictures hint at what’s basically a dream roundup of new iPhone hardware: a camera with autofocus, a digital compass, and there are hints at a CPU log as well (which may be a developer function of some kind).

By the time we were at the end of the film, I was beginning to think that there weren’t going to be any love letters to Apple in Up . The credits, featuring Russell’s Wilderness Explorer merit badges floating by on a typed page, began to look somewhat promising. Sure enough, I spied a stylized and stationary ” Spinning Pizza of Death ,” the dreaded Mac OS X wait cursor, on a merit badge just about at the end of the credits.

A Chinese-language blog UMPCFever posted what it claims are the first photos of the next generation iPhone in action. According to the rough automated translation these images show the new iPhone in action but as it appears to be prototype d…

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , iTS , iTunes , iPhone Yesterday, Megan noted a Fortune story saying that iTunes syncs flawlessly with the new Palm Pre . This, of course, got the water-cooler talk bubbling: “How did Palm pull it off? Will Apple allow this to happen?” Turns out they already have. A tech note on Apple’s website notes the two dozen or so third-party players that iTunes (for Mac OS X, at least) is compatible with, including Rio and Creative Labs Nomad MP3 players
