Will the ‘iTablet’ run iPhone OS or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?
As "iTablet" (Macbook Touch? iPhone Cinema?) rumors have reached a fever pitch in recent days thanks to several disclosures and leaks by third parties privy to late-stage prototypes of the device, speculation has mounted as to which variant of OS X it will run -- will it be an iPhone (ARM CPU, iPhone OS) or a Mac (Intel processor, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard)?

Reader Q&A: What are Apple prototypes like?
From time to time, we select a few reader questions to answer as best we can, and today's comes from Kyle: "On your site, you often mention prototypes of Apple devices. I'm kind of curious how Apple works their prototype process. What do the prototype devices look like in the semi-finished state? Do they look like pieces of hardware slapped together by a sloppy DIYer or like the polished devices that we know Apple is famous for?"Read on for the answer

What’s next for iPhone & other iDevices?
While we continue to wait for the next two major 2009 iDevice roll-outs -- an iPod Touch "S" with specs similar to the iPhone 3GS and an entirely new large-screen device often referred to as "iTablet" -- rumor and speculation about 2010 iDevices has already begun to ramp up with a vengeance. One of the rumors with the greatest backing evidence is that of 1080P HD video recording capabilities, followed closely by new, slightly larger iPhone/iPod Touch displays with higher resolutions.

WWDC Preview Part 3: iPod Touch, Other iDevices, One More Thing?
With time before today's WWDC Keynote growing short and breaking rumors of Steve Jobs' presence at the Moscone Center sending the grapevine into a frenzy, let's take a quick look at some of the less certain, but no less exciting, possibilities that we might see emerge into the light of day this morning (PDT)/afternoon (EDT) in San Francisco: new iPod Touch model(s), other iDevices ("iTablet"?!), and the ever-present potential for a completely unanticipated "One More Thing" -- potential that has just received a huge injection of probability if the Steve Jobs sightings at Moscone are what they appear to be.

WWDC 2009 Preview Part 2: iPhone OS 3.0 & Snow Leopard
With the WWDC 2009 Keynote event nearly upon us, let's taking a quick look at what we can expect from Apple's next-generation operating systems: iPhone OS 3.0 and Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard". Although we've known for some time now that we'll only see a 'Final Beta' of Snow Leopard this week, expectations for iPhone OS are somewhat less certain. In both cases, we anticipate a few surprises....the real question is how big they'll be.

Other iDevices may wait, 2009 iPhone will be announced at WWDC
There has been some debate in recent days as to whether all four (or more!) 2009 iDevices which have been hinted at with multiple references in the code of iPhone OS 3.0 as well as countless published rumor-mongering reports and our own conversations with sources, will actually be announced -- no less ship -- at the World Wide Developer Conference next month.There is plenty of room for debate on the larger question, but when it comes to at least two distinct 2009 iPhone models ($99 8GB entry-level and $199/$299 16/32GB high-end models?), Rumors is very confident that we'll be seeing them during the keynote address on June 8th.

iPod Touch, other 2009 iDevices to include video camera?
Although predictions of timing (such as whether any new hardware at all will be announced, no less released, at WWDC next month -- or perhaps only the new iPhones and/or all-new iDevices such as the "iTablet" will ship then, leaving an updated iPod Touch release to wait until later in the summer) and features have begun to diverge wildly across the grapevine, one thing appears increasingly likely based on published speculation and our own source reports: the 2009 iDevice family could feature cameras with at least 3.2 megapixel photo resolution and up to 720P HD video across the entire lineup.

Mac OS X 10.5.7 build 9J56 seeded to developers with Bluetooth 3.0
Despite the previous build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 code-name "Juno" appearing nearly ready for release within days (it's now been over a week), Apple has delivered a new seed -- build 9J56 -- to developers, and it looks like a little bit of work still remains before we'll see 10.5.7 in Software Update. Changelog from Apple's seed notes follows after the jump.

Supplier orders already in for over four million new 2009 iPhones?!
A recent China Commercial Times report on Apple's next generation iPhones includes the suggestion that an order is already in for more than four million units(!). But how does this report fit into the overall picture of the 2009 iDevices -- and what do experienced rumor-mongers say about the other details in the CCT article?

Next-gen iDevice picture coming together
At the same time as developers and *ahem* "others" have been looking under the hood of Apple's developmental "iPhone 3.0b2" operating system to discover clues to what sort of next-generation devices ("iDevices" or iTouch Platform Architecture, "IPA;" call them what you will) this powerful new OS will be running on as soon as June or July....other pieces of evidence, both publicly known and in the "insider" realm, have also been coming together.We really, really like what we see coming down the pipe, and we think you will too.

Apple updates iMac, Mini today with nVIDIA chipsets instead of Intel
In a move that surprised even some of our sources and was in several key ways quite (but not entirely) contrary to our published projections as to the iMac's specs, Apple announced new iMacs and Mac Minis today.
