iPhone 2009 Rumors + Cameras for iPods.

May 15 2009, 12:30pm CDT | by Robert Evans

We've got a couple of rumors for the iPhone here. First, HardMac has some inside information that, despite the rumors, the iPhone 2009 will take the same shape and size of the 3G on the market now. That means no larger screen, and no drastic change in shape or design. Fashionable Apple fans need not worry; I'm sure the 2009 model will still manage to have a snazzy new look.

Meanwhile, the Internet has coughed up another iPhone rumor, this one a little more strange. Basically, some Best Buy employee took a picture of the inventory system. It showed three new upcoming new AT&T phones that were codenamed Charlie 1, 2, and 3. It is believed that "Charlie" is code for the iPhone (C being the third letter of the alphabet), and that the one, two, and three refer to differing memory capacities.

Unfortunately the inventory screen pictures don't give us an arrival date, but they do all have their SKU #'s already. If they're in the inventory system and issued with SKUs the iPhone release can't be very far away now.

Last but not least, we've got some very believable rumors that Apple is planning to add a camera to some of its more modern iPod models. Apparently, the 'refresh' of the iPod Touch and iPod nano will see them getting brand new cameras. It's not hard to see why; iPod's with cameras will mean that Apple can sell that many more camera apps. Plus, cutting-edge tech geeks will have to buy replacement iPods if the new ones have cameras. After all, we don't want to risk getting behind the curve.
