We have heard previously that FaceTime call requests could soon be made via email. We now see that iOS 4.1 Beta 3 has the email FaceTime call functions available. This indicates that the next generation iPod touch 4 could get a front facing camera.
The option is found in iOS 4.1 Beta 3 in the Contacts application where two options to connect the FaceTime call are given. The first is via the regular phone number and the second, as pictured above, is by email.
The reason an iPod touch 4 would require email to active the FaceTime call is that no physical number can be attached to the device leaving the option of email the next best thing. [Read more…]

According to TechCrunch, we could be seeing the iPhone land on the Verizon [VZ] network in January. The reasons for this are related to tracking what components are in demand. In the case of the iPad, large 9.7 inch screens were being built which helped give some of the details away.
What we hear now is that Apple [AAPL] has placed an order for a large amount of CDMA chips. As the iPhone 4 and other models do not currently use CDMA, it is believed that they are being purchased for the Verizon iPhone 4. TechCrunch also go on to say that the iPhone 4 will arrive on Verizon in January 2011. [Read more…]

Not much information is known about the picture above, but from what PocketNow say, it looks to be an ASUS smartphone running the Windows Phone 7 operating system.
The picture was captured in Pakistan and shows the three physical button setup below the screen as well as what looks to be a forward facing camera on the top right of the bezel. It appears that the device is either a prototype, or perhaps a developers model due to the serial number printed on the top of the phone just above the screen. [Read more…]
The ASUS Eee Tablet was introduced at the end of May this year. We now hear that it will launch in October of this year with a price tag under $599.
Originally we heard that the price tag would be $199 – $299 with a September launch. These lower prices of course could be related to subsidised prices though which would fall inline with about how much we’d expect to pay for a tablet with a carrier contract. [Read more…]

There’s around 1 day and 13 hours left for you to get your hands on a 3rd gen iPod touch with a built in camera on the back.
It is believed that the actual product is real, in that Apple [AAPL] created it. However, the specific model with a camera was never launched last year. Rumours about the lack of camera on the 3rd gen model include the blame on a shortage of cameras which meant it had to hit the shelves camera-less.
The details in the auction, found here, indicate that the camera doesn’t actually work due to a lack of software although the seller does say that when the next gen iPod touch 4 is launched in a few weeks time, the software should allow this camera to start working. [Read more…]
