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.

Alright, so instead of sitting around, questioning the legitimacy of these photos, and trying to figure out how they might have faked them, lets just go with the fact that a 16GB iPhone makes perfect sense and roll on. The iPod Touch maxes out at 16GB, the iPhone has only one SKU right now, which hasn’t happened with an Apple product in forever.
So, a 16GB iPhone makes perfect sense. Now they only question is, would they just add $100 to the current price of the iPhone to keep it differentiated from the iPod Touch, or would they drop the 8GB iPhone price and put the 16GB iPhone at the same price point as the 16GB iPod Touch?

There are rumors going around that the totally irrelevant release of Leopard might also give way to the iPhone being opened up to third party developers for new applications. Like I said, the two are totally irrelevant, but neither one is worthy of a separate press conference, so I guess the combination of the two announcements could kind of make sense in that respect.
They aren’t going to open it up to just anyone, but well established companies, especially those well known for producing mobile apps are rumored to have been getting contacted by Apple recently. Its already fairly well known that EA is porting its entire line of iPod games to the new iPhone/iPod platforms so they can be loaded onto those devices, but there is rumored to be a lot more companies being approached.

It seems like ages since we’ve had a good Canadian iPhone rumour, so just in time comes Digital Journal’s hush-hush insider information that luxury retailer Holt Renfrew will be carrying the 8GB cellphone come mid-October. That would put a north-of-the-border (as long as your border is between America and Canada, of course) launch just a couple of weeks away; Holt Renfrew themselves are confirming nothing, but the source was “adamant” the cellphone’s arrival - priced at $799 - was imminent.
