If only the blogosphere was so committed to capturing Big Foot in poorly whitebalanced lowlight photography, we'd really have something. Here's a shot of the rear:

iPod Nano Getting Purple Paint Job?
This image from a Circuit City advertisement seems to show the iPod nano dressed up in yet another sickening color—this time deep purple. The advertisement was spotted in a circular today, but we have not seen it for ourselves. Has anyone glimpsed a shot of the picture in question? And do we really need purple to add to the list of nauseating colors the iPod nano already comes in? Sentences ending in questions aside, we have seen the iPod shuffle gain a similar purple treatment, so it does not seem imposible. We'll let you know as soon as we hear any official word on the potential update. [Connection Podcast]

More »Motorola ZiNe Z12 Leaked Pictures?
Does this phone (on the right), documented in this leaked picture, match up with the invisible phone in the teaser video that we saw on YouTube yesterday? Perhaps, and the Czech site Mobile.cz is saying that the phone has a larger display and touchscreen controls—which you can see in the picture—but also have such slightly more advanced tech as a GPS, Wi-Fi and a 5 to 8-megapixel camera. If Moto had fancy phones like this last year, maybe their CEO wouldn't have had to take the reins. [Mobil.idnes.cz via Unwired View]

Internal AT&T Memo Details Contract Free Rate Plans, Handset Must be Paid for in Full
One of our sources at AT&T has leaked to us an internal document; the memo details the process for obtaining a contract bundle without the obligatory 1 or 2-year commitment term. The basis for the non-commitment bundles is the customer must pay for the handset in full, losing the subsidized rate that is offered with fixed contract terms. The memo pins the start date of the non-commitment bundles as November 2007, but we have heard no word on any such contractual freedom previously. UPDATE: This entire document, another source tells us, is meant to inform ill informed employees of an existing thing. AT&T has done this for years.More »

Vodaphone's Palm Drucker is Short on Images, High on Specs
A leaked slide from Vodaphone's 2008 roadmap lists a new Palm device codenamed "Drucker" as the successor to the Treo 750v. Features include: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, Windows Mobile 6.1, a full QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0 — all powered by a 1500mAh battery. If you use your imagination you can almost see it. Set for a July 2008 launch for around ₤270 or $530. [Boy Genius]The SNL iPhone Sketch that Never Aired
The tipster who filled us in on the real story behind the hacked iPhone that appeared on Saturday Night Live also linked us to this video which never aired that night, cut for another sketch that ran long. In fact, it may be the last in the series ever produced given the recent writers strike. And it's a shame, because while it's certainly funny, the clip is also educational, tutoring us geeks in advanced punch 'n run techniques. Do we smell a new chapter in Jason Chen's iPhone book? We certainly hope so.

Another ROKR Leak: The W5 Looks like Darth Maul's Phone
Following the leaky loo of the ROKR U9 is the ROKR W5, which is a quad-band GSM clamshell that has EDGE, Bluetooth, miniUSB, 20MB internal memory, a microSD slot, and a sad little 1.3-megapixel camera. It actually kind of seems like weak sauce, Mount Doom-inspired paint job aside. More details when we crib them, naturally. [Unwired View]
