At this point there's little doubt that a new iPhone model (possibly two) will at least be announced in June. Now the Commercial Times have chimed in with a report saying that components from Taiwan-based suppliers have begun shipments as Apple (or its China-based assemblers, rather) readies for a "June launch" pegged by said suppliers to reach about 2-3 million units per quarter. A phone that looks to be fitted with a 3.2 megapixel still / video CMOS camera, digital compass (magnetometer), possibly 802.11n WiFi, more storage, and all the MMS, copy/paste, and push-notifications you can shake a gesticulating finger at. Assuming all the firmware sleuthing and rumors are true, of course.

While the Viviene Tam Edition Mini 1000 sure was pretty, it's hardly what you'd call "new." According to undisclosed sources cited by the always questionable DigiTimes, Hewlett-Packard is toying with the idea of bringing three new infants to market in the Mini-note line. If all goes to plan, the 10.1-inch Mini-note 2140 will hit the scene in February at around $567, while a WWAN-enabled Mini-note 2150 (13.3-inch, presumably) will follow in early June. For what it's worth, a new 11.6-inch model is also mentioned, and as expected, the whole trio is apt to arrive with Intel Atom's within. Guess we'll just wait and see, folks.
