Apple rumor: AT&T excited about new iPhone?

Apple rumor: AT&T excited about new iPhone?


From the not-all-that-surprising-department, Apple’s exclusive U.S. partner for the iPhone, AT&T, is said to be tickled about an upcoming release of the iPhone that will be faster and add some AT&T-developed features, such as a U-Verse application. As most people expect, the new iPhone is expected to arrive some time around June, and is turning into “an annual tradition.” (Source: The Boy Genius Report).

Another interesting tidbit from the report involves Netbooks; AT&T apparently is preparing to launch a $99 Netbook that doesn’t use Windows around the same time. Radio Shack already sells a Acer Netbook with Windows and an embedded AT&T modem for $99 along with a two-year contract, but it sounds like AT&T is getting ready to offer its own model in its own stores.

MobileMe to feature iPhone OS 3.0 locator

MobileMe to feature iPhone OS 3.0 locator

The beta version of iPhone OS 3.0 is out and some additional details are surfacing about the software, including a new feature that may let MobileMe users locate lost or stolen iPhones.

This new feature recently revealed by The Boy Genius Report appears in the configuration settings for MobileMe on the iPhone where push updates for mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks are configured. Now, the last setting in the settings list displays a control for the activation of “Find My iPhone.”

Once this feature is activated, log into your MobileMe account at me.com and that service will obtain your iPhone’s current location–a small feature that nonetheless may help improve the software suite that started out as a embarrassment to Apple.

Apple discontinues its iPhone Bluetooth headset

Another day, another tidbit of news about a minor Apple product that most people don’t care about.

In this case, it’s the company’s $100 iPhone Bluetooth headset; a MacRumors forum commenter noticed that Apple’s Web site had a “discontinued” notice on the product.

When the headset came out in late 2007, we gave it a fairly positive review (it got 3.5 stars). However, readers weren’t as keen on it, rating it at 2.5 stars. Buyers seemed to like the design and build quality but weren’t as impressed with performance (sound quality, battery life).

Does this mean that Apple is out of the Bluetooth accessory game? Probably not, because the accessory game is such a good game to be in (as far as margins go). But the big question is whether Apple is getting ready to launch stereo Bluetooth headphones, now that the iPhone and iPod Touch will offer stereo Bluetooth support.

Good stereo Bluetooth headphones are hard to come by, so we’d like to see what Apple can deliver. Anybody else interested? Or are all Apple accessories (with the Apple name on them) overpriced for what you get?
