Rumors Flying About New iPhone Capabilities

Jumping on the completely unconfirmed rumor bandwagon, it seems that there have been photos leaked for the new iPhone, which include things like an auto-focus camera, video capture, and a compass. The photos were originally displayed (and then quickly removed) on a Chinese forum, and quickly spread to many other sites, including a complete human translation on the MacRumors forum. Looks like Apple security may have to break a few more pocket protectors to keep employees in line.

    I also heard somewhere that the new iPhone will come with a free puppy. It will also water my lawn, clean my house, and walk the puppy for me.

    Can I join a PR agency now?

    "Why the hell would Apple leak it when it can just as easily make the front page of Slashdot next week"

    Because now they've made the front page twice. Or more, knowing Slashdot.

    If we can put a man on the moon (or could, at one time), I say that now is the time to have brothel libraries (and librarians, of course). We do not do this because it is hard... um, ok, actually, we do do this because it is hard.

    Except the UI is going to NOT look like a 3 year old designed it.
