Back in July legal beavers looked at the Apple/AT&T contract you’re expected to agree to when you buy an iPhone, and came away scratching their heads and claiming it was so confusing that “most lawyers wouldn’t understand it”. One of the more suspect clauses gave Apple permission to monitor your iPhone in order to “verify compliance with the terms of this licence”; at the time we set aside most concerns that the company would be tracking your cellphone, but it seems as though Apple themselves may have been all to willing to flex their powers. Code hidden inside the Stocks and Weather apps on the iPhone appears to automatically send your IMEI to the company every time you refresh their information, which would give Apple both knowledge of what’s being looked at and by whom.

Someone at ASUS has either loose-lips or delusions of grandeur; Crave has been told - from within the company, no less - that they’re helping Apple to build a tablet version blending the best of MacBook Pro power and iPhone screen technology. Now Crave, like every jaded tech site, is wary of Apple rumors and especially of those which promise something so mythical as a touch-interface laptop, but even on a second information dig their ASUS source was still protesting the story’s authenticity.

So if this ad is to be believed Canada could be getting the iPhone as early as December 7th. The alleged pre-order date is November the 20th so if you believe this ad you might want to start saving up.
Sure, the ad looks pretty convincing, but it’s a rumor because its nowhere to be found on Rogers site, and can only be found through various places where it appears to have been leaked. The ad says the iPhone will sell for $499.99 Canadian with a 3-year contract.

Could January bring with it a late Christmas present for developers? Sources close to Apple have told BusinessWeek that early 2008 will see the company release a software development kit, which would allow third-parties to produce sanctioned applications that would not require Jailbreaking an iPhone to use. So far no details of date are known, but Steve Jobs’ predicted appearance at MacWorld on January 15th has been suggested.

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?
