The following series of mockups have been rendered by a French site named Nowhere which shows how the new iPhone OS 4 is going to look like, running on the next iPhone. These mockups are based on the now confirmed “real” lost/stolen iPhone prototype which was lost in a bar in April this year.

If you were not lucky enough to have been at D: All Things Digital Conference (aka D8 Conference) and missed out on the live updates from the official blog, here is a short summary video, along with complete transcript to catch up on all the bits that happened during Jobs’ interview on stage.
We are now really losing the count of how many of these prototypes have Apple lost aren't we? After those leaked metal frame shots of the new iPhone, now a Portuguese site has grabbed the metal frame which Apple has used to house the main interior components of the new iPhone. This is basically that middle unibody piece which will have glass (or plastic) top on each side.
Remember what Steve Jobs said about how “Magical” the iPad was? Well a young Japanese magician Shinya has performed a series of tricks right outside an Apple Store to prove just that.
Some folks over at a Czech Republic site have closely examined the screen of one of the leaked prototype models of the next-iPhone under microscope and they have found it to be much denser than the current-gen iPhone 3GS model. This close examination of the screen has also confirmed the IPS panel screen (like iPad) for the next iPhone, with a high-resolution of 960x640 pixels.
The iPhone hacker behind sn0wbreeze, f0recast and BlackBreeze today accidently put up a picture on his twitter account, showing version 1.6 of sn0wbreeze which promises to jailbreak iPod touch 2G on iPhone OS 4. The picture in question was removed quickly but the folks at The Technopath were quick enough to grab the image for everyone to see.
Its finally here ! The newly released Skype 2.0 for iPhone enables the much awaited VoIP calls over 3G network. This feature though will only be free to use until August 2010, after which a small fee (via in-app purchase perhaps?) will apply. Carrier charges of course will cost extra. The official change log of Skype 2.0 is as follows.
There is a new modified version of PwnageTool floating around in the wild which promises to jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iPhone OS 4 Beta without upgrading the baseband. The creators of the original PwnageTool has confirmed that this version has been modified and redistributed without their permission, and most importantly, it doesn't patches some important files which are required for the ultrasn0w unlock to work properly.
According to the sources at TechCrunch, the next version of iPhone OS, which is set to release this June will have Bing as its default search engine in Mobile Safari. Microsoft and Apple have reportedly been in talks over a possible search deal since January of this year, but since then there has been no real news on this.
If you thought the next platform wars between Microsoft (Windows Media Center), Google (Google TV) and Apple wont move to TV’s, you’ll be horribly wrong. According to the sources at Engadget, the next iteration of Apple TV will get a much needed complete revamp. It will be a small device (like iPhone), will be powered by a variant of iPhone OS, and best of all, will only cost a 100 bucks ($99 to be exact).
