• iPhone 4 - A update with aluminum unibody enclosure (mockup): This mockup looks like a mini-iPad. I'm not sure if that's the way to go. As long as the next iPhone has a bigger screen (like the HTC HD2 or EVO 4G), I'll be happy.

• 3 Reasons Why the Verizon iPhone Rumor Is True: I think that as of late last year / early this year, Apple was content to skip Verizon until they got their LTE network up to speed.

• Rare Star Wars Images: C-3PO smoking a cigarette. 'Nuff said.
