Apple is about to launch a ‘nano’ version of the hugely successful iPhone. It is expected to be in the shops in time for Christmas.A new application enabling Apple’s iPhone to share EDGE or 3G Internet connections with other wireless devices briefly appeared in Apple’s App Store, only to be pulled minutes later.
The Netshare app by Nullriver is based on SOCKS — an Internet protocol that enables client-server applications to transparently employ the services of a network firewall. Netshare essentially converts any iPhone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, with all Wi-Fi-enabled devices able to share a broadband Internet connection wherever a cellular signal is available.

iPhone 3G are going to be RED
July 26, 2008
While rumors of the salt and pepper colored iPhone 3G pair reigned true, it is now time to look toward the emergence of yet another addition to the team. MacBlogz has learned through an unconfirmed source that a possible red iPhone 3G may be slated for a holiday release in attempts to boost sales.
With the iPhone 3G’s recent transition to a plastic casing, it would not seem difficult for Apple to add colors as they wish. The festive colored iPhone 3G would also serve as a (PRODUCT) RED offering, which donates a percentage of profits to anti-retroviral medicine to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Apple has already been on board with the (PRODUCT) RED campaign, offering a special edition 8GB iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle to the cause. They have also released a (PRODUCT) RED iTunes gift card that donates 10% of proceeds.
