TUAW has received an anonymous tip stating that the new iPhone will be called the 'iPhone Video'. The tipster said that AT&T's website will be updated to show the iPhone Video as a model selection when looking for support for Apple devices.

A screenshot showing the select box in action is attached below.

Currently only Original iPhone and iPhone 3G are listed as choices; however, this screenshot could be from a unpublished website that will go live once AT&T begins selling the device.

Earlier today an AppleInsider report showed evidence of the new iPhone in Carphone Warehouse's system. The phones were referenced as iPhone32GbV3. TUAW suggests that perhaps the V stands for video?

Carphone Warehouse, the largest independent European mobile phone retailer and an official iPhone reseller, added four placeholders to their inventory list for new iPhone models earlier today, sources tell AppleInsider.

With new iPhone models expected this summer, in addition to the previously-announced 3.0 firmware, Carphone Warehouse appears to be gearing up for the change. A screenshot of its inventory system provided by a person known to have access to such information shows placeholders for both 16GB and 32GB iPhones in both white and black. They're mixed in among the existing and previous iPhone models, having reportedly cropped up just hours ago.

Numerous reports and inadvertent leaks from Apple's partners over the past several weeks have signaled the arrival of third-generation iPhones in capacities of 16GB and 32GB. While the changes to Carphone Warehouse's systems should not be treated as confirmation of new iPhone specifications, the retailers status as an official iPhone reseller could potentially make it privy to such information.

Coupled with Best Buy’s recently-released internal memorandum notifying employees of expected low inventory of the current iPhone 3G, as well as a similar advisory issued by Brightpoint, an iPhone distributor in Australia, retail signs are aligned in pointing to new iPhone disclosures early next week at Apple's annual developers conference.

Last year, Apple introduced the iPhone 3G at the start of its 2008 developers conference on June 9th and announced availability would follow on July 11th. During the four weeks in between, supply of original iPhones were close to non-existent. Thursday's report out of Carphone Warehouse was accompanied by word that the retailer has simultaneously pushed out some of its poster and offer changes until July 7, but AppleInsider has no reason to believe that date is of any broader significance.

Having pioneered multi-touch for its iPhone and iPod touch handhelds, Apple later extended the technology to trackpads on its Mac notebook line and now appears ripe to introduce the first iPod click-wheels with similar capabilities.

Though sales of the iPod touch have taken off in recent quarters, recent reports suggest that we haven't seen the last of click-wheel-based iPods, the next of which is expected to turn up this fall in the form of a fifth-generation iPod nano with a built-in digital camera and more compact circular scroll wheel.

This new nano could be the first iPod support multi-touch gestures through its click-wheel, according to recent patent filing discovered by AppleInsider this week that details methods for detecting "input gestures that traverse the center of the scroll wheel and to detect multi-touch input."

More specifically, the 38-page filing made just this past September describes a "multi-dimensional scroll wheel" that "can sense a moving object, such as a finger, as it is moved not only in a rotational manner but also in a linear manner across the center of the scroll wheel." This new breed of scroll wheel would also be capable of sensing more than one object at a time, such as multi-finger touch or motion.

"Applications can be enhanced by the improved range of input enabled by the scroll wheel circuitry," Apple explained. "For example, linear motion, such as a swipe across the scroll wheel, can enable an image browsing application to cause images, such as album cover pictures for example, to be transitioned across a screen."

Multi-touch input, such as one finger touching an inner region of the scroll and another finger rotating in the outer region, can also enable a zooming application to cause a displayed image to be zoomed-in or out, depending on the direction of the rotation. Similarly, a pinching or expanding of a user's fingers can enable the zooming application to cause a zooming action.



"The scroll wheel circuitry can also bias the sensor element configuration according to the type of input event expected," the filing adds. "For example, if a particular application permits only linear motion input along a particular axis (e.g., a horizontal or vertical swipe), the scroll wheel circuitry can utilize only the sensor elements arranged along that path to sense for an input event. By using less than all available sensor elements in this manner, the scroll wheel circuitry can achieve power savings."

The filing is credited to over half a dozen Apple engineers, including Lakshman Rathnam, Louis Bokma, Fletcher Rothkopf, Andrea Mucignat, Erturk Kocalar, Benjamin Lyon and Joseph Fisher.

Apple has spent some time outlining technology that would add a new level of interaction between iPhone users, such as the ability to share and control playback of digital media files like music tracks and video during a telephone call.

The concept is outlined in a 19-page patent filing discovered by AppleInsider this week titled "Methods and systems for mixing media with communications" and credited to Apple software engineer Jeffrey Terlizzi. It begins by noting that while media items are becoming increasingly portable for mobile users these days, they're still not as easily shared with others located remotely in real time.

"For example, an individual may call his friend to discuss music, but in order for the friend to listen to the music, the individual either may have to send the music to the friend using a device other than his telephone," according to the filing, "or he may have to end the phone call and use the telephone to send the friend an email with the music attached."

Cut-and-dried, Apple's approach to improving upon this limitation is to include an "Add Media" option to the iPhone's phone application that would allow users to attach and transmit media items to another iPhone user with whom they're currently engaged in a phone call. Among the listed types of media suitable for transmission during calls are music files, video, images, voicemails, and podcasts.

"For example, the user may initiate a telephone call with his friend in order to ask the friend if she is familiar with a particular song," Apple said. "Once the phone call has been established between the user and his friend, the user may select the song of interest from his communications device, and he may send the song to his friend over the same communication path used by the communications device to establish the communications operation, so that the two may continue their phone conversation while the song plays simultaneously."

Alternatively, the filing notes that "the communications device may receive a communications operation in the form of a request for a video conference, and once the conference is established, the user may select a video (e.g., a YouTube.TM. selection) to be sent back to the conference initiator by the communications device over the same communication path."

iPhone users would also have full control over playback of media items once they're shared, according to Apple. For example, they could pause and resume playback of a shared digital music track, skip to the next or previous track in the sender's music library, or switch to transmitting a different media item entirely.



Throughout the filing, the Cupertino-based company makes numerous references to interactive iPhone video conferences where digital media files are shared, something not possible with today's iPhone models because they don't include include a forward-facing video camera.

"For example, the user may wish to transmit a video media item to the recipient of a communications operation, where the ongoing communications operation is in the form of a video conference," Apple said. "Thus, there may be two video data streams to transmit to the recipient, one related to the media item and one related to the communications operation."



"There may also be two audio data streams to transmit. In order to transmit all of the streams over the same communication path, the control circuitry may employ a multiplexer to combine together any video streams, and to combine together any audio streams," the filing adds. "The multiplexer may then combine into one fixed stream the two combined streams. The control circuitry may signal the communications circuitry to transmit the fixed stream to the recipient of the communications operation using any suitable approach."

Apple session Monday may include new iPhone
SAN FRANCISCO - Apple kicks off its annual developers' extravaganza on Monday under a tight lid of secrecy, with investors expecting the electronics maker to unveil new or cheaper versions of its popular iPhone.

Thousands of customers, developers and investors are set to convene in San Francisco for Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference, hoping to catch a glimpse of its latest high-tech wonders.

But while Apple made waves with its unveiling of the 3G iPhone at last year's event, this year's takes place against a more uncertain backdrop.

Steve Jobs, Apple's charismatic CEO and master showman, is still on medical leave and not due back until July. And the first credible challenger to Apple's iPhone, Palm's new Pre smartphone, makes its grand debut on store shelves just two days before Apple's gala.

While many analysts believe Apple has a variety of new gadgets in the pipeline — from new iPhone models to a long rumored, so-called tablet mini-PC — the company has said the conference will focus on important but less sexy software operating system upgrades.

Others on Wall Street believe the stage is set for a surprise product announcement. "The consensus expectation is that they will also announce the next iteration of the iPhone," said Oppenheimer & Co analyst Yair Reiner.

A few Internet blogs have cited allegedly thin iPhone retail inventories as a tell-tale sign that Apple is clearing the decks to release a new model.

Speculation on a new iPhone has ranged from a model with a physical keyboard to handsets that boast more flash memory and faster processors.

A less expensive, $99 iPhone is also on wish lists, as is the possibility of a model with a cheaper data plan or one sold through a carrier other than AT&T, with which Apple has an exclusive distribution agreement.

Given the proximity to the launch of the Palm Pre smartphone on Saturday, some analysts reckon Apple will hold off on announcing any new iPhones.

"It gives you some time to study the Pre, see what the problems are and roll out a campaign against it," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group consulting firm.

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster expects new iPhones to ship in July, regardless of whether or not Apple announces them at the conference or a later date, while he has forecast a 2010 release date for an Apple tablet PC.

Munster deemed a surprise appearance by Jobs at the show "unlikely," although he said in a recent note to investors he expects Jobs to be back by the end of the month.

According to Apple, the new iPhone 3.0 operating system unveiled at the conference will include 100 new features, including the ability to cut and paste text and improved search functionality. Apple has also said it will showcase its new Snow Leopard operating system for Mac computers.

guys I have 2 ques about my iPhone.

The browser exits itself while I'm browsing for a long period. Why?

And

There is an icon by my battery which looks like an upside down phone with a keyboard under it. What is it?

Unfortunately crashes in Safari are common, well fairly common anyway. That maybe what causes the sudden exits if Safari. As far as the icon next to the battery that sounds like the TTY icon if I'm not mistaken.

how To get rid of it?

^ sick!

was hoping for a new form factor - but this will work just fine

Unfortunately it looks like TT is not one of those countries listed to support it.



From what we know so far anyway

time for a group buy of unlocked 3GS 32GB iphones I in for a white!

^ I'll settle for 2 16GB
I want to get a black and a white

the interesting part of that image there is that Jamaica and Honduras are included and are both markets for Digicel, lets see if it somehow trickles to T&T, one can only hope

new hardware most likely means the dev team has to find a new way to unlock software 3.0 on the 3GS and most likely current turbo sims aint going to work.

so it's another waiting game...

iPhone 3G S hands-on
http://i.gizmodo.com/5283484/iphone-3gs ... e=true&s=x

^ the phones may be unlocked from factory for a lil more money or depending on what the country carrier offers.

Without AT&T in the picture for most countries unlocking may not be the cat & mouse game it once was.

Jamaica will have the iPhone on the MiPhone (Claro) network - not digicel AFAIK
the thing is though that MiPhone is CDMA and the iPhone still seems to be solely GSM now encorporating HSDPA and not EVDO

Real Cost of iPhone 3GS: About $218 More Than You Think

Already the 3GS is incurring fanboy wrath: For 3G owners not yet eligible for a new phone, the 32GB costs $499 and the 16GB costs $399—and even more without contract. Three tiers of official pricing below:

How do you qualify for the announced pricing? New customer, new line of service, presumably contract renewal, that sort of thing. Update: AT&T confirms that most iPhone 3G owners will be eligible for the good upgrade price after 18 months. Last year, people who owned iPhone Numero Uno got a shoo-in, but apparently that's not the deal now. To add insult to injury, you'll even have to pay an $18 upgrade fee to jump from 3G to 3GS.

iPhone 3G S: Device Pricing

• iPhone 3G S will cost $199 (16GB) and $299 (32GB) for new and qualifying customers.
• If you are not currently eligible for an upgrade but still want iPhone 3G S, early upgrade prices are $399 (16GB) and $499 (32GB)
• No-commitment pricing: $599 (16GB) and $699 (32GB)
