In the latest issue of the vaunted magazine, Rolling Stone has perhaps inadvertently laid down a bit of news garnered from interviews with people who know the subject of the article, Steve Jobs.
In the blurb, a tribute to ‘100 Agents of Change’ (Jobs is #3 behind Barack Obama(1) and Google founders Brin/Page(2) ), the RS author slips us the following little tidbit:SIGNATURE MOVE: Apple is still releasing major products during the recession — look for a new iPhone this summer and a netbook in the fall.
You tell me – are you going to believe a jackass like …
AlleyInsider has an article up regarding the future of a super-cheap iPhone that lacks features such as GPS or 3g capabilities. To make it work though, in my oh-so-humble opinion, this means that they’re probably going to add some high end features for those who crave the exclusivity of iPhones and gadgets of all sorts. Maybe live TV or a higher end camera? Perhaps video-conferencing…

Ok, so the Fight Club reference is a few years old, but this news from the US Patent office sheds quite a bit of light on some of the upcoming features we will see in iPhone 2.0 (or perhaps in later revisions).

Macgasm and Ars are reporting that RIM is posting internal job positions looking for Cocoa develoeprs.
The obvious intent is to create a native OSX capable BB client, but part of me wonders what the chances would be of seeing a server app to sit on top of an xServe. Another way to jab at Microsoft while stealing a little bit of Apples thunder, perhaps?
Microsoft is seriously investigating the prospect of opening a self-branded set of retail stores, according to a new claim. Alleged sources near Microsoft say that the company hopes to boost its brand by launching a retail chain that presents an ideal Microsoft experience, similar to Apple’s own outlets.
What the store is likely to contain is unknown, though the company is likely to promote Windows and its software. It may also use the strategy to tout its own hardware, including the Xbox 360, the Zune, and potentially its smaller peripherals.
This guy in the Electronista comment section got it mostly right:

Ok, it’s obviously fake, but how could I *not* post it? You know you want it, don’t be shy.

CNet is of the opinion that it is…and I concur. I’ve been advising anyone who asks me to wait until June – which is the most likely release date given the launch of the AppStore and v2 firmware.
The most likely plan of attack is that Apple is getting rid of stock (witness the ATT $250 refurb special of a couple weeks back), then will announce the new version in a couple of weeks.
