It looks like Slingbox is delivering Slingplayer to the iPhone (and possibly the iPod touch) with the new forthcoming iPhone SDK. This will be amazing once the iPhone gets 3g later in the year.

Somewhat validated rumors about Apple products:

- current sales of the ipod touch
- expected timeline of the iphone 3g
- expected release of the new sub-notebook with flash memory

Quoted: A very good source of mine with good connections to Apple's Asian manufacturing partners called me this morning with some news: Seems like Apple will be making headlines in the next few weeks and months with some of its hottest products: the iPod Touch, the iPhone and a new ultra-portable laptop.

Yahoo had a big executive revival event the other day ith a keynote by Steve Jobs.

Quoted: What do you do when you want to inject a little inspiration into a company that needs a lot of it? Do you hold an all-day meeting of top execs where you actually outline specific goals and exhibit better leadership? Do you admit your corporate culture is a little weak and promise to focus on strengthening it? Do you trot out all the senior execs and let them talk about their concrete plans (and, better still, actually prepare them to deliver their spiel with some level of quality)? Do you do some post-lunch touchy-feely group exercises to get people talking? Best of all, if you really want to send things over the top, do you bring out an icon so beloved as to give goosebumps to explain to the troops how he managed to turn his once-beleaguered and now-soaring company around?

A detailed review of the new Amazon MP3 store from one of my favorite bloggers.

Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster believes that the current 300% uptick in iPhone sales since the recent $200 price drop is "not sustainable." Today, on NPR, however, I heard Steve Jobs claim that they'd sell 10 million of these bad-boys this year. Yowzah! Makes me wonder if Apple has more tricks up their sleeve for this holiday season or if business is just going to be flat out insane?

To date, iPhone has sold 1 million units in 2.5 months. To put that in perspective though, it took them 2 years to sell 1 million iPods.

Whoa does that suck! Anyone who had their laptop in for repairs at the Seattle Apple Store, your machine may have been stolen.

Estimated cost to make an iPhone? $220 for the 8GB model. Pretty healthy margins with a lot of room to move down over time as the *ahem* "Apple loses its luster..."

Quoted: An analysis from teardown firm Portelligent estimates that the new smartphone costs Apple a mere $220 to make.

The Onion tells us what they're excited about on the new iPhone:

Um, great. Apple TV gets two new features, neither of which is higher quality video, even though they "require" hi definition tvs. Boo. How about fixing the Achilles heel rather than adding storage for more grainy video and a youtube plugin?

Quoted: Immediately after Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ demonstration of an Apple TV running YouTube videos at the All Things Digital Conference in Carlsbad, California, Apple formally announced the partnership via press release, along with an updated 160GB hard disk-ready version of Apple TV for a price of $399. The 160GB version of Apple TV will store up to 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos, or a combination thereof, promising four times the capacity of the original Apple TV at a $100 premium.
