Apple (which has recently sued HTC for alleged patent infringements) will launch a new iPhone this year, possibly in June or July.

At the moment, no one knows exactly what the 4th generation iPhone looks like or what new features it will bring. Of course, we?ve seen some iPhone 4G concepts, and there are lots of rumors regarding the new smartphone?s specs (AMOLED touchscreen display, 5MP camera, more memory and so on).

Here?s another iPhone 4G concept that comes from Italy.

The creator of this new iPhone 4G concept sees it as having multiple color versions, a front-facing video calling camera, 32GB or 64GB of internal memory, and MicroSD card slot.

Bravo Gustavo is the new iPhone App from the LA Philharmonic. Think of it like Guitar Hero, but for conductors, and using your phone. Yes, that means you flail your iPhone around like a conductor’s baton, hoping it doesn’t slip through your hands. Just like LA Philharmonic Music Director Gustavo Dudamel! He’s dreamy.

Apple is all set to start a new line of its iMac desktops which will integrate a Blu-ray player for high definition media lovers. Apple has so far stayed away from the media war between the two competing formats, and even though it’s been little over a year since the war has been won by Blu-ray, the format is still ignored by Apple. The Apple netbook Air didn’t feature any optical drive, which is indicative of the industry all geared up for a HDD based media platform for the future.
Apple is quiet about the whole rumor as of yet but if they are to be believed then there are talks of better processors, graphics and HDD space above 1TB. The company has yet to offer Blu-ray as a standard or build-to-order option, but a few third party companies have been quietly testing the waters and marketing external Blu-ray burners to Mac users.

You want to scare somebody? Just mutter something about radiation and you’ll be able to sell an iPhone case for $60. That’s one dollar for each percentage point of deadly cellphone radiation this silicone case is said to prevent from reaching into your brain. Could this be a lifesaver?

Despite the lack of credible evidence, the fearmongers at Pong Research hope to sell their iPhone case by comparing cellphone radiation with cigarette smoking. Will cellphones kill you with brain cancer? It’s possible, but unlikely, according to the World Health Organization. But there’s a big difference between possibility and probability, which is a concept that most people have trouble grasping. Beyond that, iPhones are not even in the top 20 emitters of cellphone radiation.

Pong Research should also make hats out of this magical silicone stuff, because this tin foil we’ve been wearing is just not very comfortable.
