iPhone 4G Leaked Pics or Return to Render?

by Jay Garrett on March 12, 2010

Now leaks are one thing and, being the untrusting fellow that I am, even though I want these shots of the iPhone 4G to be real I can’t help but shout ‘render!’.

True; plenty of work has gone into this and the exposed brickwork setting is very tasteful but something isn’t sitting right.

I like the idea of a choice of colours and docks for the next gen iPhone – do we still think it will have the name of 4G? Let’s face it; who thought Stevie J would go for iPad as a name?

These ‘leaked’ shots are all in their full glory on umpcfever.com.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m just not feeling this – are you?

Apple iPad UK Release Date Clarified

by Jay Garrett on March 8, 2010

Apple has almost come up with a definite UK release date for their iPad.

Where stateside gadgety fans will be able to pounce on the new Wi-Fi tablet on April 3rd and the 3G version later the same month we in the UK will get both by the end of April.

US customers can pre-order the Wi-Fi models from 12 March, but not so for us in Blighty – we can’t pre-release purchase at all.

Apple has also said that the iBooks app and iBookstore will be available in the US on 3 April, with “additional countries added later this year”. I’m hoping that the land of the Union Flag will also be getting this, even though there’s indications to the contrary, as surely this is one of the major selling points of the iPad – or am I still confused?
