iPhone HD, iPhone 4G, iPhone Super Edition. Whatever Apple decides to call it, the current rumor is that it will be announced on June 22nd. Reports are streaming in about Apple reserving the same conference center that they used to launch the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS. Though it's not a sure-fire thing, the fact that they've reserved it in the June timeframe gives credibility to the story.

Over the past few weeks, Apple has been much-maligned for keeping apps such as Google Voice off the App Store. These weren't some random garbage apps; there was no farting, or baby shaking. Google Voice apps are utilities which many have come to rely on, and thus many (including TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington) are none too happy with Apple's blockade. But what if Apple deleted a completely useless app from the store? What about 900 useless apps - all from one developer? Apple has decided to test those waters: it has revoked the developer's license of one of the App Store's most prolific developers, Khalid Shaikh, founder of Perfect Acumen.
I think we just found out why we aren't hearing more stories of exploding and burning iPods. Ken Stanborough had to throw his daughter Ellie's iPod Touch outside, because it got too hot to hold, and he could see vapour. Within 30 seconds, he could see smoke, he heard a pop, and the Touch went 10ft into the air. After contacting Apple, the company denied liability, but offered a refund. However, Apple said that in accepting the money, Stanborough was not allowed to talk about the existence of the agreement - or else Apple would sue him.
