» Rumors - iTunes 9 features
Firmware 2.1 beta already showed us some very nice upcoming features like improved GPS functions, (turn-by-turn gps), a presumably copy&paste function and now they found a new reference string that points to a new iPod. The reference is ‘iPod2,1′.

What happened today in New York??
Can you belive it? There’s already a line of 60 people waiting in line at the biggest ‘24h open’ Applestore in New York City.
Most of the people don’t even know why they are waiting. Maybee it’s for the 3G iPhone or is it for a iMac?
If it’s for a 3G phone, then they will have to be there for quite some time. The earliest we can expect the iPhone 3g to be available in stores is 10 June… But that’s not even announced.

AT&T has a listing of a black iPhone on there management site. Not much information is available but you can select either the normal iPhone or a black iPhone. Wether this is a human error, or if we will soon see a official Apple statement of the iPhone, that remains the question.

According to Fortune, AT&T’s going to further subsidize the iPhone down as much as $200, making the final retail price a scant $199 with two-year-contract. The rumor is that the $200 bonus will only be available in AT&T stores, not in Apple stores, so people buying and exporting or using it with T-Mobile will be paying the higher price. Current first-gen iPhone users probably won’t get this $200 subsidy when upgrading either, unless perhaps they renew for another 2 years. Fortune’s source also says that the phone will have GPS and be 2.5mm thinner, not thicker as previously indicated. And you’ll know when the new phone is coming—Apple will cut off shipments of the old phone in order to clear up inventory and give a subtle hint that you should wait before buying.
