This going to be a regular feature on the run-up to the 27th and, hopefully, some big Appley announcements.

Latest from the rumour-mill is that the next gen iPhone will be sporting an OLED screen and a have removable battery just like the new gPhone, Nexus One.

There’s rumblings that iPhone 4G could have a front-facing camera for vid-chat, a dual-core processor and a flash-equipped 5MP camera.

The favourite due-date for the new Apple handheld is June but any Spring/Summer month seems to have been whispered. History dictates that June is most likely.

The important yet quite minor tweaks seen between 3G and 3GS leads me to believe that something meatier is going to appear for the 4G.

Personally, I’m hoping for all the above wrapped in an aluminium uni-body :)

se-t715The T715 by SE is here to appease those that aren’t digging touchscreens.

Yeah, I actually know a couple of people that hold no truck with no virtual board – they’re all about the buttons. Real, clickable, physical keys.

These same people would also love to avoid signing a contract that pledges them, their children and their grandchildren to the allegiance to a single company.

Ok – so the Satio is pretty funky but I’m here to talk about the new SE slider – the T715.

It looks a typically stylish addition to the fleet of sliders and no doubt will share the quality of feel along with the W995 Walkman.

If you’re fed up with straining your eyes trying to read clever fonts and have more masculine fingers you’ll appreciate the larger keypad and font size.

You’ll get a 3.2 megapixel camera with an LED photo light for those shots taken in the chill-out zone of your favourite club – you could also use the in-built GPS to geotag those shots to remind the victims of your ad-hoc shooting where they were. The T715 shuns the Sony Memory Stick slot and welcomes the much more swapable MicroSD which is a very positive move :)

Expect it to arrive in the third quarter of this year for a middle-of-the-road price.

3D Holographic Projection – Best for TIE Fighters

Nope – this is not taken from StarWars but this is from the really real world!
The ICT Graphics Lab at USC has created a low-cost volumetric 3-D display and it looks fantastic.
Apparently (just getting my science-head on) the process utilises spinning mirrors, high-speed DLP Projections, and ridiculously precise calculations that figure out the correct axial perspective needed for [...]

NVIDIA? Mobile Phone? NVIDIA? Mobile Phone?
Yup, they’ve been flashing about their cellphone applications processor: the APX 2500.
As CNET points out, that chip is largely the result of NVIDIA’s acquisition of ‘PortalPlayer’ back in 2006, and represents the company’s first attempt at building a true computing processor for mobies.
The chip itself (based [...]
