The folks at iPhon.fr posted some pictures of what could well be the new iPhone. They can’t guarantee whether these are actual pictures or fakes.
What makes me doubt these are real pictures is how scratched up the rear of the unit appears to be.
It’s a slick design though.
AT&T hotspots are now offering free Wi-Fi access to iPhone users. Barnes and Noble, Starbucks and presumably AT&T’s 71,000 other Wi-fi hotspot locations are now offering iPhone users a custom portal to access free Wi-Fi. A special iPhone formatted page asks for your mobile phone number. Once entered, you can access the Wi-Fi access for free.
Foxconn Electronics has reportedly landed orders for the assembly of second-generation iPhones from Apple supporting 3G, with shipments to begin in June this year, the Chinese-language Commercial Times has quoted sources at foreign institutional investors in Taipei as indicating.
The Commercial Times also cited sources at component suppliers as saying they have been instructed by Apple to begin preparing material supplies by the end of May.

Fring just launched a new app for jailbreaked iPhone that allows you to make Voice over IP calls using Skype (you must have a Skype Out account though). I think it’s really cool but AT&T CEO might disagree with that.
Basically you will be able to make phone calls while on wifi. Using Skype Out is especially good if you have friends and family overseas.
Fring also supports MSN Messenger, ICQ, GTalk, SIP, Twitter, AIM, and Yahoo!.
Engadget reported that the iPhone 2.0 Beta software let’s you save web images to your roll. This is just in beta mode but it totally makes sense that this feature would be available to all when iPhone software 2.0 goes public. I’ve personally been waiting for this basic feature since the beginning.
How it works? Simply by holding the sleep button, then tapping the home button. It apparently flashes white once the image has been saved to your roll. Sounds like a hustle and it could probably be easier, by holding your finger on the image for example but we’re not gonna complain. Read after the break for screenshot.
