That’s the rumored, “super slim,” brushed aluminum keyboard said to be accompanying Apple’s new iMac computer. It certainly appears to share the key design of the MacBook like we heard but seeing “Photoshop” in the exif data doesn’t give us a high degree of confidence here. Regardless, a forum jockey over at the Rhapsody Apple forum in Hong Kong will sell you the keyboard (s/he has more than one) for 1,200 of the local stuff or about $153.40. Word to the wise, the consensus amongst rumor sites shows the new iMac coming as early as August 7th so you might want to hold onto that wad for a few more days to see what happens. We’ve got a bigger version of that image above along with the Apple development team sticker reportedly affixed to the backside of the unit in the gallery below.
Update: Full-sized image (and plenty more) just received from our tipster. You know, we ‘re starting to believe that this is the real deal. But did they really remove the Apple logo from the command key?

Many (hundreds) of thousands love the new iPhone, but with mass lovin’ comes the obligatory list of bugs. As such, the first lengthy and comprehensive bug list from poking and prodding that iPhone screen into submission during the wee hours of the night has been released. There are 68 reproducible bugs on the list so far, with each bug having been confirmed on two separate iPhones. Of course, the list’s ‘reproducible’ status for each bug comes with a disclaimer that some obscure steps normal iPhone users may never uncover were used in unearthing some of them. We’re hard-pressed to find our favorite bugs (or bug categories), so check out the complete list here and if you dare, start mad-swiping that iPhone screen if you feel lucky.

Ooo la la, what’s this? Apple filed a patent application for a “mouse with optical sensing surface.” That’s right, a multi-touch mouse building upon the touch-sensitive mouse patent app we’ve already seen from Apple. This beast would allow for a buttonless pointing device which could sense the position of your digits for a myriad of gestural and positional control. Whether this is a patent to safeguard a brewing idea or actual product in the pipeilne is anybody’s guess. Surely this filing, along with those for a backside touch interface and touch sensitive bezel give us a clue as to Apple’s product mindset. Multi-touch MacBook touchpads anyone?
This is a great step in advancing technology. If you notice, the mouse has been the same since it was first developed in 1960s. Its time for a chance and who better to do it then Apple.

It’s been released and I was there to capture the excitement at The Apple Store in Orlando.
(The thought did cross my mind… All this for a phone? And these customers are so excited to spend $600? Apple must be doing something right.)

From popsci.com:
When he unveiled the iPhone in January, Steve Jobs called it “the best iPod weve ever made.” If logic holds, as of June 29, the current iPod lineup will be in serious need of an upgrade-consumers spending $249 on the 30-gigabyte model will be investing in a device obsolete even among Apples other product offerings.
The company isnt expected to let this go on for long, but Apple buffs are abuzz with what form this upgraded iPod will take. Many are envisioning an “iPhone without the phone” - that is, a device with a wide-aspect-ratio touchscreen and Apples new multi-touch technology.

I know I’ll be waiting in line on Friday, so if anyone else wants to join me leave a comment. I will most likely be at the Mall at Millenia Apple store at opening with my Nintendo DS.

From looprumors.com:
Nintendo has begun working with Apple on licensing games exclusively for the iPhone, according to NoHeat.
These games will reportedly be released a few months after the iPhone’s launch and sell for $29.00 through the iTunes store.
According to the report, Nintendo’s biggest concern in the affair is the fact that the iPhone utilizes a touch-screen user interface rather than buttons, a method Nintendo is much more accustomed to.
This venture would be Nintendo’s first in the mobile phone industry as it sees this growing market as a threat.
Steve Jobs said yesterday that the iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback, or 24 hours of audio playback.

Remember the Apple Bluetooth Headset announced with the iPhone? Yeah, we know, it’s a little fuzzy because of the insane hype surrounding the handset itself, but Apple is doing a Bluetooth Headset too — and guess what, the FCC just gave it a thumbs-up. Unfortunately for all of us, there are confidentiality agreements preventing more information about the device from showing up, but at least for now it looks like the missing pieces are finally falling into place for Apple’s whole mobile phone initiative thing.
