You’ve probably heard the news by now, but just in case you haven’t, the new version of the iPhone is coming out simultaneously in 24 countries on July 11th (including Canada — finally!), and over 70 more by the end of the year. It now has all the features of the previous model plus 3G data, GPS (A-GPS) and the 2.0 version of the iPhone OS which supports 3rd party applications and includes the App Store along with tons of other new features—all this at half the price of the previous model.

GeekSugar’s predictions were spot on—iMacs were updated today to pack more power in the same form factor. With the new Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn processors, the models start at 2.4 GHz and go all the way up to 3.06 GHz. Hard Drives and Video Cards were also upgraded across the line.
Apparently GeekSugar has picked up an “inside scoop” on the next iMac refresh — which they say would happen as soon as next tuesday. These sort of rumors should always be taken with a grain of salt, but considering how they were right about the MacBooks being updated in the past, the fact that big boys like Engadget and Gizmodo have followed the story as well, and the fact that the iMacs haven’t been updated in a while and are well within their refresh cycle (according to MacRumors), this may very well be the real thing.
Update: MacRumors claims this information has been corroborated by their retail sources.
