Kudos to The Green Room Blog for putting together all the 3rd generation iPhone rumors in one very detailed picture. I especially like the color coding system for how likely the rumor is to come true. You must click through and spend the minute or two it takes to read through all of them.

Almost everything from the “Somewhat likely” and “Very likely” categories I do expect to see. However, from the “Unlikely” category, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a front-facing camera. It’s about time video conferencing took off on this phone. Plus, we already have Skype, right. The other unlikely I really wish was true is the Flash support. I agree it’s unlikely, but I’m hoping it’s true.

Wired has a link to a rumor that the next generation iPhone will not be announced/released at the next WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference). This is a slight surprise but not totally unexpected. Instead, it goes on to say, is that WWDC will focus much more on the new Mac operating system OSX Snow Leopard, and the new iPhone OS 3.0. The new iPhone is coming, the question is when.

Two rumors from iClarified. First, the new iPhone OS may actually allow background apps. This could be accomplished by either Apple approving and allowing only certain apps to run in the background or the end user could enable a limited number of apps to run in the background. This is good news for iPhone owners.

Also from iClarified is the rumor that Best Buy already has the new iPhone in their system. What’s interesting to me is the 3 options available in the Best Buy system. I guess it could be 8GB black, 16GB back, and 16GB white but I’m hoping it’s something more than that. Perhaps 8, 16, 32GB or 16, 32GB and a nano??? Highly doubtful but a guy can dream, can’t he.

In case you missed it, here’s what’s Bouncing Around the Web:

Nikon has released what seems to be a wonderful new DSLR. It combines a 12.3 megapixel still camera with a video camera that shoots 720p video at 24fps. The best part? It starts at $730. From a high level, it looks like the D5000 is a consumer’s D90 at a more affordable price point. Well done Nikon… well done.

Who doesn’t love a good rumor? Or better yet, a good Apple rumor? Or better still, a new iPhone rumor? Or best of all, a new iPhone rumor backed by actual data? Yes, the new iPhone’s features may have been leaked with the release of the iPhone OS 3.0. In the OS, developers have found several interesting things like: a video recorder, auto-focus, an iPhone locator, voice control and more. Yum!

Nintendo has announced the release date for their new Wii MotionPlus accessory. If you haven’t heard yet, MotionPlus is supposed to give a more true 1-to-1 experience on the Wii. Things like swinging a golf club or handling a sword will act more like the real thing than ever before. It’s a pretty cool concept and I expect the final product to be solid. So look to pick one up for $19.99 on June 8 or bundled with Wii Sports Resort for $49.99 a few weeks later.
