Apple Inc. is distributing to its retail and sales personnel an internal iPhone 3G Frequently Asked Questions document which implies that first-day sales and activation procedures are still being ironed out. It does, however, provide some information on bulk iPhone 3G sales for businesses.
CrunchGear has received some pics of the supposed next gen iPhone. We really don’t know weather its true or false but I guess will have to wait until monday. One things for sure this iPhone I like!!!
It seems Apple will launch iChat for windows, but thats just another rumor going around. They could launch it, to complement the videoconferencing feature they may added to the iPhone.

It seems Apple is encouraging iPhone and iPod Touch developers to charge a small fee for there apps instead of giving them for free, AppleInsider has learned.
People familiar to the program initiated in March note that the individuals are being assigned a liaison or a “development partner”, who serves as a resource, offering advice and gathering feedback on plans for applications that later on will be submitted to the new App Store for approval.
Apple will allow developers to submit more than one version of their apps to the App Store, which will ship as a part of iPhone Software v2.0. For example if you want a full version it can be available at a cost, while a “lite” version would be available for trial download to encourage people to buy the full version.
Apple’s idea of charging a even a small fee is to most likely to pay the cost of the hosting, marketing and running of the App Store in exchange for 30 percent of the profits from each app sold through them, letting devs remain with the remaining 70 percent.
As always iPod Touch owners are expected to be charged for the upgrade unlike the iPhone owners are expected to get the update for free.

One Apple major manufacturers is shipping large amounts of unidentified items in advance of the WWDC on June 9th, Forbes suggests. The magazine notes that in May, Quanta Computers began shipment of a number of unidentified packages, through a port in Oakland, California and a distribution center in Fremont. Also according to Forbes a large amount of packages left the center Wednesday night, with as many as four trucks arriving for pickup during a single 20-minute period.
While it was expected that Quanta was also preparing to ship iMacs out from the facility, trucks were covertly loaded with plain brown boxes, bearing no form of easy identification whatsoever. This unidentified items were kept on close to the iMacs, and staff at the location refused to discuss the content. “No, no,” said one employee, in response to questions about whether the boxes held new iPhones. “If so, I’m not at liberty to discuss it.” said Macnn.
If Apple intends to launch the new iPhones at WWDC as everyone thinks it would have to already be in the middle of the shipping stock to its retail stores, as well as AT&T’s. The two companies have hundreds of stores across the US, and would be likely to sell ten thousands of units within the first days of the launch date.

People are saying that Apple might announce the development of the next version of Mac OS X on June 9th. It seems they are looking to give developers an early version of Mac OS X 10.6 at the event. Apple is said to be more interested less in new features than and more on improving the overall speed, stability and security of Macs.
The major changes are said to be to eliminate Power PC support, and only leaving intel Macs. This will incentive developers to spend less time on universal Binaries. Its also said that Apple will consider wrapping the entire OS in Cocoa, granting use of the code to access functions which were only opened through Carbon. We think the code name may be “Snow Leopard” but it is not certain for now.
Reports claim a commercial release of the OS to be expected as soon as next year’s Macworld in January.

We have learned that Apple built a full-size replica of an Apple Store on the Warner Bros. lot, over the Memorial weekend to film a commercial that will air for Steve Jobs’s keynote at WWDC on June. It seems they spent money building this because it would draw much attention if they closed an Apple Store just to film the new ad as it happened last week on thursday a New York 5th Avenue Store.
The replica took them two days to build it an took it out on monday. It was a full functional and operable scale, complete with laptops, imacs, the kids pod, software and accessories on the shelfs, functional genius bar. You could see everything that you can see in a normal Apple Store.
Only some people were allowed to stay for the shoot and no extras/actors were seen in the “store” when the shoot commenced.
