iPhone 3G 2009 Leaked?

iphone3g2009jpgOver the weekend a Hong Kong blog posted images of what is thought to be the iPhone 3G 2009, or leaked applications for it.  In my opinion, these look very, very real to me looking at the way they have been designing the iPhone lately.  The pictures show the rumored integrated compass, auto-focus camera, updated camera application with video recording, and the other images are clearly the 3.0 software coming this summer so this may just be hidden features that Apple has yet to release to developers and/or unlock.  The iPhone itself does not match up with rumors and what’s thought to be leaks but after all, what do we know, Apple itself has not said anything.

Apple launches US Back to School Promotion

Alongside today’s minor update to its white MacBook, Apple announced the launch of its annual Back to School promo for U.S. education customers. This year’s program offers rebates of up to $229 on the full line of iPods when purchased with a qualifying new Apple computer, which includes all Macs except the Mac mini.


Both the Mac and iPod must be purchased at the same time on the same receipt, and purchases must be made either directly from Apple or at an Apple Authorized Campus Store. This year’s program runs through September 8th, 2009.

This year’s promotion had been rumored to extend to the 8 GB iPhone this year, but the claim did not come to fruition.

Apple is currently running a similar promotion in Canada, and typically offers such programs in a number of other countries later in the year.
