It goes without saying that this is nothing more than a rumor, but alleged images of the next generation iPhone casing have surfaced from China. Said to feature a slip-resistant matte black coating and be made of metal as opposed to iPhone 3G’s plastic, the case in the photo even features a new model number of A1303 and all of the appropriate FCC ID numbers that are not usually found on your typical iPhone-related fakery/Photoshop job. One thing of note is that while the rumor does state that the back casing is made of metal, as you’ll see in the last photo after the jump looks suspiciously like it was made of injection-molded plastic. Plus as anyone who had the first iPhone will remember, the reception was often extremely spotty due the metal backing interfering with RF signals. On the flip side of the coin however, the leaked iPhone 3G case that ended up being real last time around originated from the same spot as these photos – the iPodObserver blog. Granted it wasn’t quite as far before the 3G’s release but hey, you never know. Hit the jump for a couple more pics.

It is common for the software industry to squash bugs with a software update – only to inadvertently create more bugs in the process. And apparently, with smartphones it’s no exception. iPhone users have felt this on their own skin several times, most recently with the latest maintenance 2.2.1 firmware (content/view/41208/140/) that has been reported to crash iTunes during syncing. Fortunately, this time around, Apple moved quickly with a fix via low-key email sent just to the affected users.

Google has conducted some interesting research relating to post-it notes and paper scribbles. Their studies found that despite having quad-core PCs and 30″ monitors, many people still preferred pen and paper for note taking. The reasons offered were easy editing, works offline, mobile and instant boot up. Google examined these needs and has created an iPhone application called Gmail Tasks.
