We have shown you some of WWDC’s pictures, we have told you what the new 3G iPhone is all about, we took a look at CNBS delivering WWDC news, and advised you to go watch the full WWDC presentation on Apple’s official site.

It was time someone edited it to a 60 seconds long keynote. You won’t get everything but there’s Steve Jobs and friend going really fast through the new 3G iPhone. I wish they had other things on the agenda but basically that’s what happened on Monday, the 3G iPhone and apps!

Microsoft is alive. No surprise there. A Blu-Ray Xbox 360 is coming. No surprise there either. We were expecting that to happen. What’s funny is their rumored announcement time. Not only they are going to announce this Xbox 360 tomorrow but they are going to do it one hour prior to the WWDC.

Packages labeled like you can see in the picture have started to arrive at Apple resellers in Australia. Hmm, I wonder what’s inside those boxes? Does anyone have any idea?

I bet it’s a T-Rex in a dormant state, set to wake up on June 10th. Or is is a stripper, courtesy of Steve Jobs for their hard work selling all those Apple devices? The most boring answer I can come up with is the 3G iPhone.

The WWDC starts at 10 AM California time, which means 1PM Eastern time which means 6PM GMT time which means approximately early 10th of June Australia time.

In two more days we will all find out what’s inside those boxes. In case there’s a bunch of dehydrated strippers and not the iPhone, we can count on the WWDC. At least Steve will show us their new creation.

With just days to go before WWDC and the presumed announcement of the 3G iPhone, one more picture has surfaced showing what are purportedly the touchscreens used in the next iteration of the iPhone and/or iPod Touch. Assuming that the above pictures are the real deal, we might be seeing a reduction in size of the iPhone’s big screen from 3.5 to 3.2 inches. The smaller 2.8-inch screen also suggests that there might be a mini-version of the iPhone in the works, but that could easily pass as a touchscreen for the next-gen iPod Touch as well.

While the shrinking the size of the touchscreen could save loads on battery life that can be put to better use on 3G and, hopefully, GPS, it also means less screen real estate, making it a tad bit difficult to use the on-screen keyboard. This might be a small sacrifice if it makes way for better upgrades like 3G, GPS, and a better camera, but isn’t the whole iPhone mania centered on its big, shiny multi-touchscreen? In any case, we only have three more days to push through before we find out!

Apple’s WorldWide Developer Conference - the WWDC - has been sold out for the first time ever apparently. About 5000 lucky buyers secured their attendance to one of the most expected events of this summer. WWDC is going to take place in San Francisco for 3 days, from June 9-11.

One important feature will be Steve Jobs‘ keynote. June 9th is the day. It will be a Monday morning so don’t miss it if you have those tickets. He will talk about the new 3G iPhone with all its rumored features. He will introduce any changes and updates of Mac’s OS X. He will talk about the new iMacs and MacBooks; iTunes and iPods. How do I know? For now I am guessing some of the topics while others are certain if we rely on other news and rumors on the matter. (more…)

T-Mobile Austria will help Apple test the new 3G iPhone. There! I said it! What appeared to be a rumor picked up from local blogs seems to have already been confirmed. Apparently the Austrian company is going to provide multiple plans for the new UMTS version of Apple’s hot smart phone. In September 2007 it was said that Australia will be testing the new generation iPhones. Apparently Austria beat them to that, or haven’t they?

I have been reluctant to cover the news as soon as I heard all that, until I got some more clear confirmation. Well I did get confirmation that Apple will use Austria as a test market with further announcements to be made at the WWDC. This is the first rumor news I will be confirming in the same post. Maybe I should change the title too…

What do you think the asking price for an unlocked 3G iPhone will be?
