According to a anonymous tip, I assume from an AT&T worker, the new iPhone is said to be called the iPhone Video.
This could link back to the Carphone Warehouse’s Inventory holder which referenced the new phone as “iPhone32GbV3″ and iPhone 16GbV3″, I’m guessing the V would either stand for version or perhaps video.
As with all leaks and tip offs take it with a pinch of salt as nothing is confirmed until Monday at WWDC.
Yet more leaked iPhone pictures have been circulating around the internet, once again the black bezel is shown along with the higher speaker.
Luckily we only have a few more days till WWDC starts.

New iPhone models: “iPhone32GbV3″ and iPhone 16GbV3” inventory placeholders have been photographed at one of the UK iPhone outlets, The Carphone Warehouse. The only thing that seems to be missing is the rumoured 4GB model which some sources speculated to.
We will see what happens on Monday at WWDC.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office released patent application number 20090143007 today. Titled “Methods and systems for mixing media with communications”, it shows methods for sharing digital media files like music, video and images in as part of a communications connection, without ending the original connection.
The present invention permits a user to initiate a communications operation with a recipient, or to receive a communications operation initiated by another individual, and to transmit a selected media item over the same communication path used for the communications operation without terminating the communications operation. This combined transmission can occur regardless of the type of media selected by the user to be added to the communications operation.
iSpazo recently received an image of what appears to be the new iPhone model.
The picture appears to be taken from a computer inside the Apple site. It has the rumoured black frame and a front camera, video calls maybe?
The photo seem’s to comply with many of the rumours that have been spreading around, the frontal camera and the black frame around the phone. The picture looks quite authentic, however we won’t know till WWDC.
This second photo shows the tethering feature of the new iPhone also with the black frame round the screen.
This second picture which wasn’t sent to them but leaked doesn’t seem as real, the font is different and the spacing is also.
Here are some more pictures that have been leaked out.
So if your in the UK, like me then you know that YouTube don’t allow you to view official music videos anymore due to a debate over pay to the artists.
But there is a way round all this!
You could use a proxy, yes but there slow and fustrating so use this easy tip to view videos if there blocked in your region.
Simply change the url from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<somecode> to http://www.youtube.com/v/<somecode>
And like that the video should play.
If your like many you use video sharing sites such as YouTube, to view your music videos online. However most of the time it’s through the official music label’s YouTube, as they remove most videos that users have uploaded off. However 99% of the time the user who uploaded it doesn’t get a say in things, YouTube will automatically take down the video once a claim is made.
But it’s not all like this. Some of you will have heard of You Me At Six, a rock band from Weybridge, Surrey.
With the upcoming release of their new single, Finders Keepers, many fans flocked to YouTube to try and find the music video. However for the first few days only bad quality TV recordings were available. However You Me At Six posted the official video to Myspace and so I took it from Myspace and put it up on YouTube, therefore becoming the first high quality version of the video.
After a few days the band put up the video on there channel and so messaged me to take it down, not just taking it down as other bands would. However I was reluctant seeing as on Bebo its had a total of 115,555 views and is on 881 profiles, so I added in the album & single pre-order links to my video to see if this would be okay.
However today I recieved an email from them saying:
Hi Sam,
Really sorry but the label are insisting that you take the video for Finders Keepers down as they really want people to view the video on our channel.
We would really appreciate it if you could help us out with this as its puts us in a difficult position.
Thanks for your help in promoting the video especially on bebo. If you could direct anyone to the official video we would be eternally grateful!!

Thanks a lot

As a result I will be taking the video down as I’m a big fan and think that it’s fair that the original band should get credit for their video. But unlike other artists, You Me At Six understand that me uploading the video is promoting it whereas most artists believe it’s stealing from them.
Goes to show that not all of the music industry is evil.
Apple has today seeded out the Beta 3 of their iPhone OS 3.0 and the SDK to developers, no word on whats changed yet.
I’m sure within the next few days, or maybe even hours the Dev-Team will have cracked this beta and allow the Dev’s and those lucky enough to get a working copy of the firmware to jailbrake it.
With the release of Assassin’s Creed for iPhone & iPod Touch just a few weeks away, IGN has posted up some screens from the upcoming title. It’s expected that Gameloft will charge around £5.99 or more for the game.
The graphics on the game surpass that even of the Nintendo DS, showing how much the iPhone really is ahead of the competition when it comes to mobile gaming.
The iPhone version is largely based on Altair’s Chronicles, the prequel for the Nintendo DS to the first game. You must explore the city of the Holy Land to uncover “The Chalice”, a sacred artifact held by the Templars. The superiors at The Order of the Assassins say that stealing the Chalice has the potential to end the Crusades.
More details on the game are expected soon.
If your like many 2nd gen iPod Touch owners, you’ve been wanting to jailbrake your device for a long time now. There have been ways but they either cost money, or were not mainstream user friendly. The Dev-Team have finally released the beta of Redsn0w which is set to simplify the process.
Redsn0w is currently in beta because it relies on the user running it from the command line, but the code is being added to a GUI which is set to be realsed soon, so for those who don’t trust themselfs with command lines, wait till the release of the GUI soon.
Head over to the redsn0w.com to grab the beta.
