The iPhone rumours continue, but this has to be one of the best we’ve heard yet. We received a tip that the iPhone will also have a companion soon when its launches in a few months. Say Hello to…

We don’t know the actual name yet, but will refer to it as iPhone Plus. The word is that there will be a mobile version of OSX and many extras like a mini iSight, digital camera, USB, as well as Office and iLife. It’s unclear if it will include a hard drive or flash memory, and how much space it might come with. One would expect at least 30 GB of space to hold your files.

It’s also supposed to be a quad band with Bluetooth and offer both GSM and CDMA, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. No word on how many megapixels the camera is or what can be expected in the way of batter power.

If this is the real deal, I hope it includes wifi.

Some rumblings that iPhone is to have a version of World of Warcraft. It’s obvious that it would haved to be a slimmed down version as it wouldn’t be possible to create the 3D graphics WOW is famous for. We’re a little doubtful of this one as it seems Blizzard would be able to come up with an iPhone version that worked with the PC version.

Looks like Wal-mart is to launch a movie download service. Said to be different than similar services offered by iTunes, Amazon, and others, it will allow the movie to be watched during download, among other things.

There was a time when people would line up all night to get concert tickets due the limited amount available. Nowadays, people are lining up for video games.

It seems Sony’s Playstation 3 open platform could mean big things to come.

Sony executive Izumi Kawanishi mentioned,

“we’d like to see various individuals participate in content creation for the PS3″,

which could translate into an even bigger variety of game choices.

Sony’s new PS3 aims to compete with new features including the Blu-Ray high-definition DVD player and the Cell microchip, dubbed a “supercomputer on a chip”, which provides lifelike graphics and faster downloading of software and video clips.

Japan just released a mere 100,000 units, with people lining up overnight to be among the first to buy the console Saturday. Online pre-ordering began in October with sites like Amazon Japan, which old out in 20 minutes, Tsutaya Online sold out preorders in just 6 minutes. Tight supplies had been expected as Sony was able to ship only the 100,000 units in time for the launch after a glitch in blue laser diode production caused a delay.

Due to demand, Japanese auction sites have seen PS3’s go for as much as $1,100 - nearly twice as much as the sticker price.

The PS3 will be released in North America on November 17, with only 400,000 units available. Some people can’t wait for the PS3 lining up since November 11 outside Best Buy. One guy has postponed his engagement and diverted the funds for the ring to get his console, and another has called in sick (for 2 weeks?), and one even quit his job.

Main rivals Microsoft released its XBox 360 last year, and the highly anticipated Nintendo Wii is to be release just 2 days after the PS3.
The Euopean PS3 release is postponed until March 2007 due to delays in producing a key component used in the complex machine.
