Apparently these 'Dots Gloves' have been around for awhile… But I just had a note in my inbox alerting me to them, thanks to my post on the iGlove patent that Apple ran awhile back (the gloves look strikingly similar to the patent diagrams!?). That said… I want these gloves!
The iPhone 3G is only available in two colors: white and black. Right? Wrong. Apparently, Apple also made a pink iPhone 3G with the obvious intent of giving it to the ladies. If not, then some mischievous iPhone 3G factory worker must have felt like playing with spray paints one day. Or someone is playing a sick and girly joke on us.

With all the unsubstantiated rumors buzzing about a new iPhone and its alleged features, it's becoming increasingly apparent that Apple will launch some sort of new or upgraded device very, very soon - perhaps even at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) June 8-12 in San Francisco, or maybe later this summer in a separate announcement.

There is a bug out there for the iPhone that infects through SMS. It can then spread through the contacts list and apparently there is only one way to stop it. This has the potential to be ugly.

Apple has apparently added a new layer to the iTunes App Store approval process. Now developers will find their iPhone apps passed through a mysterious device called a static analysis tool. So what the dickens does this mean? Bear with us…
Wondering what some third-party iPad apps might look like? The Website Boy Genius Report posted a whole slew of screen shots over the weekend.
