Get your movies from iTunes the same day as the DVD release
Earlier this year the epic battle for the next-gen disc technology was finally ended with Blu-ray becoming the victor.

Next-gen iPhone spotted in the wild?
by Paul Miller, posted May 2nd 2008 at 7:46AM Well here’s an interesting one. French iphone blog iPhon.fr got these pics from an anonymous and unverified source, and while there’s no way of telling if the shots are legit, they certainly have a truthy ring to them. They follow what we know so far about the shape, size and color of the upcoming 3G iPhone, and while there’s always the possibility of knockoff, a Photoshop job, or some other evil plot to mislead us, we’re certainly not going to discount these shots entirely in the runup to iPhone’s second coming.Update: Some commenters have pointed out that the size and shape of this phone bares a striking resemblance to LG’s Vu.
