question of the day
We have heard rumors that the upcoming 3G iPhone will be thicker because of possible additions like GPS and a larger battery, and we have heard rumors on the other end of the spectrum that say it will be up to 22 percent thinner than the current version. So the question here is: What do you believe? Will the 3G iPhone be thinner or thicker than the current model (and why)?

3G iPhone Rumor Roundup
If you visit Giz with any frequency, you've no doubt read the 3G iPhone will be announced at WWDC. Now I'm stuck deciding whether or not I'm going to buy it when it hits stores. The lack of 3G is what stopped me from buying the first iteration, and with rumors of video conferencing, GPS, and mobile TV, it seems like a no-brainer, right? More »

A Telstra—iPhone's carrier in Australia—senior executive, has declared that "by Xmas (the iPhone) will be capable of 42Mbps, which will make it faster than a lot of broadband offerings and the fastest iPhone on any network in the world." While Telstra's network may reach that speed in 2009, his claim seems nothing but hot air and kangaroo dung, for a long list of reasons, starting with the iPhone's alleged baseband chip—the Infineon's S-GOLD3, which tops at 7.2Mbps.

The BlackBerry 9000 will be officially announced on May 12 at WES 2008, according to the Boy Genius. The reviews have been glowing so far, so if you've been waiting for the 9000, time to start getting excited. [BGR via Unwired View]
rumor
T-Mobile may be smallish in the US, but it's owned by German giant Deutsche Telekom, a company plenty powerful enough to buy up Sprint if it wanted to...and the rumor mill says it may want to. The Inquirer points out the obvious network issues that might arise. After all, what do you get when you cross a GSM network barely on HSDPA but harboring LTE aspirations with a CDMA/EV-DO franchise who's experimenting with WiMax while lugging a legacy iDEN network around for God-knows-what-reason? [Inquirer]

The conjecture gathers weight thanks to Clent Richardson, a former Apple executive that has just been appointed as Immersion Corporation's CEO. More »

Apple Rumors this Week: Thinner 3G iPhones, All Aluminum MacBooks
A few rumors for WWDC have cropped up this week, with nothing but faith to back 'em up. Most of the facts are obvious progressions and externalizations of the fanboy-tasies, or things known before, but here are some particulars I thought worth passing on:
• TG Daily reports that the 3G iPhone will be in 8, 16 and 32GB flavors from $399-$599 in cost, with a 2.5mm slimmer profile, a tuned accelerometer, but a similar UI.
• Apple Insider claims that the standard MacBook is losing the plastic shell and going all aluminum, like the current MacBook Pros. I'd dropped Kasper a line and although his story is vague, he linked his sources with other previous claims that came true, so I'll buy it.

Is This the Back of the 3G, Next-Gen iPhone?
Take this rumor with a grain of salt the size of your fist, but this is what some people are claiming is the back of the upcoming next-gen iPhone. It could very easily be a fake, but then again, you never know. What do you guys think? Do you like the glossy black or do you missed the two-tone design of the current model and the classy brushed metal? [iPod Observer via Boy Genius Report]
