A geek with a DIY passion and a 3D printer has created a iPhone case as dangerous as it is cool. The thing has the handle of a revolver sure to get you shot if you use it in front of a cop. An analyst claimed late last week that the iPhone would be landing at Verizon in November . We also heard last week that Sprint would be getting the device in September. I will believe it when I see it. A new version of Skype for the iPhone landed last week. The app is now at version 2.0.0 and gets 3G VoIP call capability.

With all the leaks surrounding the iPhone 4G or HD assuming the device is actually unveiled at WWDC 2010 next month there will be little that Apple can do to surprise us. One rumor that would surprise me is that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is going to be on stage . Apple has now passed Microsoft in market cap. Microsoft is thought to have a market cap of $219.18 billion and Apple has $222.84 billion. This is a significantly milestone for both companies. Mozilla has announced that it is developing Firefox Home for the iPhone . The app syncs bookmarks and other items with a desktop browser.

Anyone who follows the iPhone knows that the devices are unveiled at WWDC, set to kick off in only a few days. The launch of a new iPhone will mean the iPhone 3G will be killed off and the select button to buy the device has been removed from the Apple Store, is this a sign of things to come. One of the things that has surfaced in the latest beta for the iPhone OS 4.0 was tethering support. CNET figures if you are thinking about an iPad 3G you should hold off since the iPhone just might allow tethering for the device at less cost. A rumor is circulating that Sam Mendes, best known for directing American Beauty, will be directing new ads for the iPhone4G. The rumor surfaced in Tweets for actors vying for parts in the ads.

This is really a not surprising to me; Verizon customers want the iPhone according to an analyst. Research shows that 16.8% of all Verizon Wireless customers want the iPhone. That is a lot of people. AT&T has announced that it will allow customers to unlock any device that is offered on its network, except the iPhone. The announcement is the result of a class action lawsuit filed against the company. It appears that AT&T is getting set to remove the iPhone 3G in 8GB guise. Reports are coming in that there are no more orders for the 8GB iPhone 3G being placed. This could well be preparation for the new iPhone rumored for next month.

AAA has released a new iPhone app that offers users voice navigation. The app offers fuel prices and more like AAA approved hotels and restaurants. A new survey was published yesterday and according to the survey, Brits would rather have their iPhone than a flushing toilet. The iPhone was number eight on a list of 100 items with the flushing toilet at nine. The most important thing was the wheel. The Wall Street Journal is trying to shed some light on why the iPhone has sold so poorly in China. Folks point to the price, the grey market alternatives and other things, but a survey has shown that the real reason is the unpopular China Unicom carrier.

Fans of Twitter may have worried when Tweetie 2 was pulled for the App Store. The app came back quickly though as the official Twitter for iPhone app and can be downloaded now. The iPhone OS is ahead of Android on the global market despite being overtaken in the US in Q1 2010. Android is predicted to catch up with the iPhone globally by the end of 2010 or early 2011. A new beta version of iPhone OS 4.0 has surfaced that hints at tethering finally being offered by AT&T. We heard the same rumblings before and they turned out to be false so keep the salt handy.
