A Brief History of the Next iPhone.

Last year, I put together a last minute “visual rumour round-up” about the next iPhone. It got ridiculously popular, and ended up appearing in Wired, Cnet, Fortune, the Houston Chronicle, Cult of Mac and the Wordpress homepage among many others. It was even translated into another language.
Earlier this year, my friend and colleague at The Green Room put a similar round-up together about the iPad, with referrals from Gizmodo, the “Billionaire Boys’ Club” and a heap of other blogs.
I was planning to do the same for iPhone 4 this year, but it looks like all the fun of guessing what Steve will introduce has been spoiled by the prototype leak that covered headlines everywhere this week. So, in place of that I present to you “A Brief History of the Next iPhone”.
Now when your friends ask you about “that stolen iPhone thing”, you can point them here instead of wasting hours trying to explain it to them yourself. See below for the full source list.

Turns out my Opera Mini review from a few weeks ago attracted some criticism. At least the only technology journalist in the world agrees with me.
Hey there, beautiful
I decided to change the look of my website (that one you’re reading right now) today, so if you like to read my increasingly occasional blog posts via RSS and you haven’t seen what’s new, why not have a look now?
As Seen on TV - a tribute to doing it wrong:
Whenever a TV product commercial plays I bust a gut during the parts where they show us what we’re doing wrong and why we need the product.
This is my tribute to the hilarious work the actors in these infomercials do.
The future is a mystery, the past is history, but today is a gift… and that’s why it’s called the PRESENT!

But do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing

Speaking of bests, this is the best April Fools’ prank I saw this year.
Will we have another interminably boring presentation from EA’s Travis Boatman who will show us another 70 level 3D game created entirely from scratch in half an hour (and would have been quicker but the programmer had to take a toilet break)?
By far the best rumour round-up we’ll ever see for the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 event, as told by MacTalk forum member Phormic. See all his predictions here.
