Rumor has it that ol’ Steve has put in a 10 million iPhone order.  But that’s not all.  Those 10 million iPhones are rumored to be 3G.

An iPhone research analyst for Gartner, Ken Dulaney reports that his sources tell him that this new revelation iPhone is rumored to have a better display, longer battery life and a more slim design.

If this pans out to be true, us folks over here in Japan may very well be seeing a bright and shiny new iPhone here by the middle of the year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Rumors flying again.  It seems that a blogger is saying that a local newspaper add for Circuit City is showing a purple iPod nano.  

I particularly think that this could be a mistake.   Take a look at both of these snipits.  One of the newspaper add and then one from Apple’s website.

Here is where I have drawn my conclusion from.  Take a good look at both pictures.  If the advertisement was an image from Apple it should have a different picture in the purple iPod nano.  

If you notice in the two pictures.  All of the pics are the same for the corresponding color iPods.  EXCEPT the Purple and Pink.  They seem to have the same picture.  Every color should have it’s own pic.  That is why I think that the news paper add just got the color wrong.  

 Well, I could be wrong.  That is why this is in the rumor section.  Let’s see if we can see a Purple iPod nano soon.
