AT&T leak some juicy iPhone gossip
According to the Boy Genius Report, a high ranking anonymous source at AT&T has spilled the beans on the much anticipated new iPhone release. Well, spilled the beans may be a little on the strong side, but we’ve certainly got a few talking points from the information gleaned.
First up, we’re told to expect a full unveiling in June. No surprises there, but always nice to be able to smugly say ‘told you so’ to the handful of people who didn’t care enough to speculate. Then we’re told that the device will be faster and an overall more seamless experience “unmatched by any device”. Again, not too much to write home about here, unless your parents have a Steve Jobs poster on their bedroom wall. If they are, incidentally, be prepared to talk to them more often, because the annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition” according to our chatty source.

Oh and new iPhones and iPod Touch models too.

Only he didn’t have a heart attack. It was a lie. A joke.
The not particularly hilarious “joke” was posted as news by an 18-year-old on “citizen journalist” site iReport, triggering a full investigation by the US government’s Securities and Exchange Commission after it hit Apple’s share price rather hard…
ROUNDUP: New Apple Macbook rumours
On Wednesday Tech Digest has been cordially invited to an Apple event called “The spotlight turns to notebooks”. There have been plenty of rumours swirling around regarding a cheap, netbook-y, Macbook arriving, but over the weekend a few more details surfaced about what we’re likely to see.
Firstly, it’s now pretty much given that Apple are going to dump Intel’s integrated graphics chipsets in favour of NVidia’s MCP79 platform. Don’t worry – I’m not expecting you to know what that is off the top of your head. Basically, the NVidia chipset is smaller, faster and more versatile than Intel’s integrated graphics chips…
