Apple.com Sold Out Of iPhones

If you hit the Apple Store you’ll notice that you can’t purchase an iPhone online anymore, even of the refurbished type. So if you’re clamoring for an iPhone and only wanna drop $250, AT&T Wireless has you covered.

What does this mean in rumorville?  The introduction of a new iPhone any day now.  But of course!

Slimmer Redesigned Xbox 360

I guess there’s a rumor floating around out there on the World Wide Web that Microsoft has plans to redesign the Xbox 360.  Apparently, it would be a slimmed down version.  Unfortunately, a Microsoft spokesperson squashed those rumors stating “while we don’t normally comment on rumours like this, we can tell you that we have no plans to release a new console in 2009.”  The pic looks like someone took the slim PS2 and slapped some Xbox colors on it.

Is The Blackberry Thunder A Storm Of Rumors Or An iPhone Killer?

Although details are vague, there’s one thing for sure, Blackberry has achieved a shit load of press in the last few weeks.  Last week it was the Bold, or the Blackberry 9000, now it’s a rumored ultra powerful touchscreen device called the Thunder, or Blackberry 9500.  According to Electronista it will boast the ‘most technically advanced cellular wireless support ever’, and will include support for CDMA, GSM, 3.5G and 4 wireless connectivity (this will include EVDO and HSDPA for each respective frequency).  Furthermore, the Blackberry Thunder is rumored to contain no soft keys with the exception of call, answer, Blackberry and escape keys.  In light of Verizon’s recent ‘open network plan’ rumor has it that they’d be the ones to nab the device and further align their strategy.

When will we hear official details?  The rumor mill says this Summer, but don’t bank on it.

Introducing the Nipple Gauge - Need I Say More

I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite as obligatory as the Nipple Gauge. According to the manufactures, this will get the ladies shirtless, why ‘it’s as easy as that!’. My recommendation: Take a ’shot’ or ten to numb the pain of the bitch slip.

Still wondering what it is? Girls try to fit their nipples in the presized holes.

Warning: Some of the Photos on the linked site aren’t safe for work.

Available here for $6.95.

AT&T Slips New iPhone: iPhone Black

Did AT&T screw up or is this simply a website glitch?  According to Apple Insider, AT&T’s website was showing an alternate device for those who are already logged in and have the iPhone selected as their device of choice.  A month and some back I got wind of an all black iPhone (rumored to be the 3G iPhone), but Gizmodo squashed those rumors confirming it was just a case for the iPhone…or was it?

I logged into my AT&T account and as of 12:19 PST I was able to select the iPhone Black.  I tried to check the tech specs, but AT&T has linked out to Apple’s website (boooooo!).

Blackberry 9000 Compared and Reviewed (video)

Crackberry.com got their hands on a Blackberry 9000 via Ebay. In the video they compare the Blackberry 9000 to some other Blackberry phones, and take us through the new OS featured on the 480×320 display. Crackberry liked its speed (i.e. fast processor), the killer screen and the menu features that Blackberry added. And yes, this Blackberry includes a camera that can record video and pictures. Youtube videos open in the media player. The web browser shown looks a little old school, but as Crackberry points out, they don’t think the version in the video is final. What’s really cool, though, is that you can GEO TAG your photos!
