Social Networking website Myspace, has been working on an iPhone optimized version of their page to provide easier access for Myspace addicts users. The mobile iPhone version of Myspace will include optimized profile pages, notification, and touch friendly buttons specifically for the iPhone. I’m sure come SDK time, these companies will be signed with Apple and be allowed to create applications for the iPhone that don’t require Safari.

Either things aren’t going to plan in Apple’s product development lab, or the company’s PR people are working overtime; Mehdi Hosseini, an analyst with Friedman Billings Ramsey & Co. Inc, is quoted as saying that the second-generation (e.g. 3G) iPhone has been pushed back “from the March/April time frame to mid to late summer” [via MacNN]. It comes not long after AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson confirmed that Apple would be releasing a 3G iPhone come 2008, which has led some to suspect that the Cupertino-based manufacturer are attempting to rescue their holiday sales by casting doubt on the availability of the next-generation handset.

Ben Reitzes of UBS seems pretty confident that there will be a new version of the iPhone by March of 2008. The guy got a tip from someone in the iPhone supply chain that he believes to be true.

The guy is dead certain it will be a second gen iPhone too, not an iPhone Nano, a new Newton, or anything else like that. Its definitely going not going to be an iPod with Internet calling either, its going to be the next iPhone.

The boys over at Gizmodo have been polishing, peering into and generally chanting at their crystal balls, prompted by a press release from chip manufacturer Broadcom. It turns out that Broadcom’s latest 3G HSUPA-capable processor - the BCM21551 - might just be the salvation for those people seriously frustrated by the lack of anything faster than EDGE networking in the iPhone. Not only does the chip bring high-speed network connectivity, FM receiving and transmitting, Bluetooth 2.1 and more on one 65nm die, it does so with incredibly frugal power requirements.
