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.

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.

Will Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” really support PowerPC?!
Ever since we posted our first 'sneak peek' at Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" two weeks ago, one of the most frequent questions and lingering doubts amongst readers surrounds the issue of support for PowerPC (G4/G5) based Macs. Will it really be present in the final version? Tonight we took a moment to answer that question as best we could.
Will new iDevice features (Flash, multitasking) premiere first on Pro devices?
Recently, Rumors was among the first to report on references to an "iPhone 2,1" in last week's v2.2.1 iDevice OS firmware release, and suggest that this was almost certainly the forthcoming iPhone Pro. Now, along with emerging suggestions of a corresponding high-end iPod Touch, the grapevine is abuzz with rumors about background tasking, Adobe Flash and other features which may be tied to the powerful new "Pro" iDevice hardware.

iDevice OS 2.2.1 points to “iPhone 2,1″ product
In a somewhat unexpected move, Apple has apparently included references and possibly even support code for a new iPhone -- vers. "2,1" in the company's internal versioning terminology -- in the recently released 2.2.1 firmware update.
