Today’s iPhone rumor comes from Intel’s 40th birthday bash in Germany, which was held yesterday night. The German ZDnet guys reported that Intel Germany boss Hannes Schwaderer confirmed that the Apple’s iPhone will be available with Intel’s Atom chip. There is a lot of interest in Apple’s new iPhone these days, so it is no surprise that the news spread like wildfire. Intel soon denied the report as false, but the author stands by his story. In the end, Intel’s claims do not “entirely” contradict what we have heard before from the company – that Intel is aiming for the iPhone in the future.

Oh where have all the iPhones gone?  Apple is having trouble stocking its wildly popular iPhone in retail stores and its completely unavailable on the United States and UK online Apple Store.  Apple says there is no word on when it will get new inventory and this isn’t necessarily a bad thing since everyone anticipates the 3G version of the phone to be announced next month.

Another week, another 3G iPhone speculation – and you are at the right place to get the latest on Apple rumors that are leading up to the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. Apple has been confirming sudden iPhone shortages  in the U.S. and UK over weekend, which leads some to believe that we might see a premature 3G iPhone launch in May and a surprising product announcement (after all, there has to be at least one surprise, right?) in June.

The general consensus among analysts has been that the upcoming 3G iPhone will go on sale in June, but so far there has been no hard evidence or strong leads to support these voices - until today. Two separate reports provide the dates for U.S. and European 3G iPhone shipping dates. Unlike before, today we did not receive just speculation – but the content of an internal AT&T memo sent to retail staff.

A new Apple rumor is making the rounds on the Internet: The company could be working on the rebirth of the Newton handheld, possibly in the shape of an ultra mobile PC. Why? Handwriting recognition capabilities for the simple Chinese character set have been discovered within the iPhone 2.0 SDK firmware files. Handwriting recognition may be a generally nice feature for the iPhone, but the idea of a new Newton is certainly worth talking about. 

The latest Net Applications survey and data extracted from Flickr logs indicate that Safari’s Windows version tripled the browser's market share, Microsoft is eating into Mac’s market share and the iPhone surpasses Nokia’s N95 in photo uploads to Flickr. The published numbers have limited scope but they allow us to draw some interesting conclusions.
