New iPhone Debut
Check out the new iPhone is 60 Seconds!
New iPhone Frenzy!
From CNET -
I guess the thinking is if you toss enough possibilities in the air, at least one of them will come down right.
For example this Sunday morning, the Internet suggests that Apple’s new iPhone might be cheaper. That it might be thinner. That it might have video chat. That it might have GPS. That it might come with a four-core chip. That it might be late. That it might be here already.
Hopefully, that clears everything up. Come back tomorrow for live coverage of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, when the company is expected to reveal actual details about its next-generation iPhone 2.0.

MONDAY!! Like most people, I can’t wait to see the new iPhone!
New iPhone Updates: $200 Only
Here is another iPhone rumor by Kevin Rose.
Apparently, the new iPhone pricing goes as low as USD$200 only.
Awesome if it’s true
Glam: Websites for Women for $1.3Billion
From TC -
The company has raised $115 million, most recently in an $85 million round. Glam runs ads on female-oriented Websites that it says reaches 64 million people a month. Today it just launched a video ad service called the Glam TV Platform that bundles rights-cleared video (from partners like E! Online, CelebTV, Sony BMG, Brightcove, YouTube, and others) with video ads that publishers can put on their sites.
From VentureBeat -
Separately, I heard today that Glam received an acquisition offer of $1.3 billion in the past few days, but is unlikely to take the offer, according a source close to the company. Glam’s investors are unlikely to do so because they see a bigger opportunity for Glam to build a large business for high-end display advertising, the source said. Some critics will say Glam will be foolish for not accepting such an offer.

Another sign for the upcoming nuclear winter / web bubble 2.0?
Most unlikely. The Internet trend is coming strong and all signs are showing that future lifestyle experience will heavily focus on digital lifestyle aka Internet life. With such strong support on web startups like Glam, I am more confident that the next wave will be in online entertainment.
Perhaps the next MTV or pop culture will be born from the Internet — will Glam and the likes of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook be the next generation of MTV/Channel V/etc ? Only time will tell.
Microsoft Previews Windows 7 : Another Vista?
From SAI -
Our quick take on Windows 7: Big hat, no cattle.
We think Microsoft is rushing to fix the indigestion caused by the bloated Vista. In the process, we think it is again trying to do what it has done so well in the past in every arena except the Internet: see a good idea and steal it. In this case, the idea is the iPhone (and, to be fair, Microsoft’s own tablet PC). We suspect that what Microsoft is really up to here is building iPhone-killer software that it hopes to sell to everyone but Apple (AAPL). But what works on a handheld device or tablet does not necessarily translate to a full-blown PC. So excuse us if we don’t jump up and down in excitement at the thought that people are going to feel better about jabbing their fat, greasy fingers into our PC screens.

I think Microsoft seriously needs to fix Windows Vista before even talking about future Windows releases.
The only way to win consumer’s confidence is to provide a fresh reboot on Windows Vista and show truly new innovation that will differentiate itself from the competition (like Apple) and having people really love your stuff. At the moment, Windows Vista looks pretty much the same and has the same features as Windows XP (I personally prefer XP) .
The new features on Vista are very similar to what we have seen in “legacy” Apple computers (if you want to copy, why copy the old stuffs?) . Then of course, there are some new features but they aren’t really big.
It’s time to make better windows before people uses the door. Period.
