There’s a post at Monster and Friends reporting a new beta iPhone hack that allows the camera to capture video for 5 secs at 10 fps. Not sure how useful it’ll be, given that there’s only 8GB maximum storage. Perhaps someone would come out with an application that can save the captured video to a remote file storage. That’ll be cool.

Will Steve Jobs unveil a new iPhone Nano or iPhone 2 with 3G support in January’s Macworld Conference in San Francisco? I’m sure Apple fans expect to see multiple model of iPhones, just like the iPod.

The price of an iPhone is rather high for some of us who never have to pay for a mobile phone when signing up for a mobile service contract. An iPhone Nano or Mini would definitely fill this gap and open up and explore the already saturated mobile phone market.

There were complains that the original iPhone using EDGE technology is slow and lacking the speed of 3G or 3.5G. Apple fans will certainly be delighted when a faster version emerge.

Apple will be releasing a SDK for iPhone in February. Is Steve Jobs gonna place more focus in Software innovation rather than introducing newer phone models?

January will be very interesting … …

Google announced on 5th Dec the release of a new iPhone application that integrates its multiple services into a single interface, making it easy for iPhone users to find, use and switch between Google search, Gmail, Calendar, Reader, and more. To use the application, iPhone users simply point their web browser to http://www.google.com.

I guess this web application is compatible to iPod Touch as well.
