Apple does make some incredibly sexy pieces of clothing. After all, who wouldn’t want to proudly wear the original 80’s Apple logo-sash-thingy? Well folks, starting at a bid of $149 dollars, you too can wear the mark of Jobs.

New iPhone 4G Leak Confirms Higher Resolution, LCD Screen
Italian iPhone blog iSpazio has posted two photos of what they claim to be the frame and screen of the next iPhone, which they’ve got from a reliable source.
As you can read in the post (here’s the Google Translation) the frame has the same corners and little hole for the front facing camera as Gizmodo’s prototype, but what’s interesting is that they’ve been told from their source that Apple won’t use the much rumored AMOLED screens for the next iPhone, which will have a LCD screen, like the current generation.
Also, it seems like the screen connector is bigger, and this would confirm the alleged higher resolution of the new device.
Check out the photos after the break.
ClamCase Delivers an Apple Netbook
Steve Jobs didn’t create the iPad to be used as magical slates designed to deliver content at the tips of our fingers. Nope, the iPad was always destined to be a Netbook. You know it was Apple’s plan all along to wait for a manufacturer to deliver the perfect laptop clam-shell case, perfectly housing an aluminum device in its plastic housing. And folks, ClamCase has delivered that promise.
Take This iPhone To Heart
Apple’s patents are fascinating, and the one Unwired discovered is just insane: an iPhone with built in cardiac sensors that can monitor heart rhythm and identify who’s holding the device.

Opera: “Flash as a Video Container Makes Very Little Sense”
Flash is under fire again, and this time the attack comes from Opera Software. In an interview with Techradar, Opera’s product analyst Phillip Grønvold said that the future of the web is made of open standards, and that Flash is not open. If Opera wants to stay in the market, they need to support them and Flash for video really doesn’t make sense.
“Today’s internet content is dependant on Flash,” said Grønvold. “If you remove Flash you do not have today’s internet. We are trying to give the best internet experience for our users therefore we need Flash - there is no way to beat around that bush.”
But at Opera we say that the future of the web is open web standards and Flash is not an open web standards technology. Flash does have its purposes and will have its purposes, the same as [Microsoft’s] Silverlight and others, especially for dynamic content. But flash as a video container makes very little sense for CPU, WiFi battery usage etcetera – you can cook an egg on [devices] once you start running Flash on them and there’s a reason for that.”
So there you have it, Opera joins the debate as well. I think they’re making the right move.
Task This, Icon Driven Projects
Project management applications. Getting things done. There’s always something for the iPhone & iPod touch that relates to task management. And hell, Apple just opened up a brand new section exclusively for us perhaps OCD individuals. I mean, are all Apple owners productivity freaks or what? The next time someone tosses the term “hipster” out there, I might be inclined to add that we happen to be “productive” hipsters. With icons! Task This icons.
Apple Adds a “Get Stuff Done” Section to the App Store
Apple is constantly refining the App Store experience, in order to showcase the best apps (App of the Week) or just show off the capabilities of a device by grouping the most interesting apps into a specific section.
It seems like Apple has just launched a new one, called “Get Stuff Done”, which groups the best productivity / business apps to get things done on the iPad. Lots of good apps are in there, and I think this is an interesting move from Apple to tell people that the iPad isn’t just meant for consuming media - but for producing content as well.
Check out the new section here.
Steam for Mac Redesign
Steam for Mac is coming in a week, and we can’t wait to try it out. But, I think it’s a given that the app doesn’t look very Mac-like and that Valve simply went for a unified interface design across all the platforms Steam will be available on.
Can Steam for Mac look better on OS X? Sure, and Sebastian de With (@cocoia) gives us a peek of what he’d like it to be.
