Wow, the Japanese Disney mobile phone is so cool. The handset has its own character set for messaging with animated Disney character icons!! How about that, huh? Why all these cute & fun stuff is limited to the Japanese market? I would like to see a Disney iPhone. Since Steve Jobs is on the Disney board, he gotta have influence to make use of Disney / Pixar characters. Please, give me a Disney / Pixar iPhone!!
iPhone Black?!
AppleInsider spotted an interesting model option for iPhone on AT&T page, which is “iPhone Black”. So is this the 3G iPhone after all?!
3G iPhone is coming as soon as … errr
According to many rumors sites, both UK & US Apple store indicate current models of iPhone (8GB & 16GB) is unavailable. And the latest iPhone 2.0 firmware has a setting for 3G network option. So the question is will 3G iPhone be announced on the usual update Tuesday? Or will there’s be storage bumped version of iPhone (16GB & 32GB) be announced on Tuesday? Or the worst thing – iPhone will be unavailable until the release of 3G iPhone in June?!
iPhone 2.0 with Chinese hand writing input?!
On the blog 蘋果島上的生活 (in Chinese) shows some screen shots of iPhone screens with presumably Chinese hand writing input. If this is for real, that would be awesome!
I personally hate the input method available on mobile phones. If the hand writing input recognizes characters well, iPhone sales will definitely boost a whole lot more in Chinese market.

8G iPhone End-Of-Life in UK!?
Engadget posted O2’s internal memo suggesting the 8G iPhone has reached EOL (End-Of-Life). So if you are in UK and considering getting iPhone, you may want to hold on for a little while. This is likely to indicate new models are coming. But everyone is guessing the 3G iPhone will be introduced in WWDC in June. My guess is another storage bump for the 2G iPhone.
More press suggests that 3G iPhone is around the corner
Times Online said mobile operators are clearing out (by slashing price) current iPhone before 3G iPhone hit the market.
