Hardware's James Sherwood says:
"Screenshots of documents entitled 'Rogers 8 GB iPhone
transitioning to 3GS' were picked up by website Boy Genius Report and
seem to hint that the retailer's running down its stocks of the 3G,
while also adding an 8 GB 3GS to its inventory."

"Going off to college can be scary, especially if it's your first
time on your own. But you know what makes it less scary? Getting your
own iPhone. So, kids, here are five great reasons you can use to
convince your folks that the one thing you absolutely need when going
off to college isn't a laundry bag or clean towels, but the most
advanced smart phone on the face of the earth."

Mobile Phone Text Messaging Is Making
Children More Impulsive
The Telegraph
Science Correspondent Richard Alleyne reports:
"Researchers believe the mobile phone system makes youngsters less
thoughtful and more prone to making mistakes elsewhere in life.
"Hitting a few keys and then seeing the desired word appear in full
trains children to be fast but inaccurate when doing other things,
according to scientists.
"They warn that the effects of this could have repercussions on a
whole generation...."

Texting Makes Kids Faster but Dumber
The Register's
Bill Ray reports:
"Predictive text is making kids lazy and inaccurate and the collapse
of civilisation can only be prevented by bringing back multi tap.
"The idea that using predictive text is making kids more impulsive
and less patient is apparently borne out by a study
from Professor Michael Abramson of Monash University, Melbourne,
Australia."

Mobile Phone Use Associated with Changes in
Cognitive Function of Young Adolescents
An abstract published in Bioelectromagnetics on a study directed by
Michael J. Abramson, School of Public Health & Preventive Medicine,
Monash University, The Alfred, Melbourne, Victoria 3004, Australia and
funded by the National Health Medical Research Council of Australia
reports:
"As part of the Mobile Radiofrequency Phone Exposed Users' Study
(MoRPhEUS), a cross-sectional epidemiological study examined cognitive
function in secondary school students. We recruited 317, 7th grade
students (144 boys, 173 girls, median age 13 years) from 20 schools
around Melbourne, Australia. Participants completed an exposure
questionnaire based on the Interphone study, a computerised cognitive
test battery, and the Stroop colour-word test. The principal exposure
metric was the total number of reported mobile phone voice calls per
week. Linear regression models were fitted to cognitive test response
times and accuracies. Age, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status and
handedness were fitted as covariates and standard errors were adjusted
for clustering by school. The accuracy of working memory was poorer,
reaction time for a simple learning task shorter, associative learning
response time shorter and accuracy poorer in children reporting more
mobile phone voice calls. There were no significant relationships
between exposure and signal detection, movement monitoring or
estimation. The completion time for Stroop word naming tasks was longer
for those reporting more mobile phone voice calls. The findings were
similar for total short message service (SMS, also known as text)
messages per week, suggesting these cognitive changes were unlikely due
to radiofrequency (RF) exposure. Overall, mobile phone use was
associated with faster and less accurate responding to higher level
cognitive tasks. These behaviours may have been learned through
frequent use of a mobile phone."

iPod Dying? Does Apple Care?
PC World's

being eclipsed by revenues for Macs and iPhones.

Two New iPod Speaker Docks from Logitech
PR: If you want a dock for your iPod that also makes it fun
and easy to share your music with your friends and family, then
Logitech has an iPod speaker dock for you. Today, Logitech unveiled the
Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i and the Logitech Portable Speaker
S125i. Offering exceptionally long battery life, the Rechargeable
Speaker S315i delivers up to 20 hours of listening time, while the
Portable Speaker S125i let you crank up the bass in your bedroom,
kitchen, living room - even in your backyard.
"Millions of people have fallen in love with the iPod, but want a
speaker dock so they can share their music with friends," said Mark

business unit. "Logitech's newest iPod speaker docks help improve your
iPod listening experience at home, at work or anywhere you enjoy your
music. With Logitech's new speakers, you'll hear every note - loud and
clear."
Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i
Because you don't always have time to recharge your iPod
at home, and it's inconvenient to carry your charger when you're out
and about, the Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i gives you a full
day's (or night's) worth of music on a single charge - up to 20 hours
of power (in power-saving mode). Plus, unlike other iPod speaker docks,
the Rechargeable Speaker S315i can play your music while it's plugged
in and charging your iPod.
But Logitech does not stop with exceptional battery life. The
Rechargeable Speaker S315i uses custom, full-range drivers to
accurately reproduce the highs and lows of your favorite songs. And,
with its slim design - it's less than two-inches thick - and durable
metal grills, the S315i is ready for the rigors of your suitcase,
backpack or car.
When you need to charge your iPod or iPhone, just dock it in the
Rechargeable Speaker S315i. The Rechargeable Speaker S315i works with
the iPhone and any iPod model with the Apple Universal Dock
Connector.
Currently available from Amazon.com for $129.99

Logitech Portable Speaker S125i
Ideal for first-time iPod owners ready to move and groove, the
Logitech Portable Speaker S125i is an easy-to-transport speaker dock
with extra bass when you need it. You can use it to play and charge any
iPod model with the Apple Universal Dock Connector or connect other
music players using the 3.5mm auxiliary input. And you'll feel the beat
even more with one push of the Bass Boost button.
At less than one pound, the portable, power-smart and compact
Portable Speaker S125i runs on AC or battery power - up to 10 hours of
battery-powered music (4 AA not included) - so it can go just about
anywhere inside or outside the home.
Both the Rechargeable Speaker S315i and the Portable Speaker 125i
offer a standard 3.5 mm jack so you can plug in any portable music
player, and even your PC or CD player.
