According to AppleiPhoneApps.com,  the Web site posted some details on just what the third-generation iPhone will offer. What’s more, it names Friday, July 17, as the release date.

    * A 32GB model–We’ve expected this for some time. What’s more, it would be welcome.
    * Double the RAM and processing power–Ditto here.
    * A 3.2-megapixel camera with video-recording capabilities–We’ve been hearing about this for a while, as well. But while Apple is at it, we’d also like more camera editing features.
    * Ability to send a pictures and video via MMS–The iPhone 3.0 software update will add the ability to send photos with MMS so videos would make sense too.
    * Turn-by-turn directions–We’ll also get this with the 3.0 update. The feature won’t be native, but it will come through apps.
    * 1.5x the battery life–The short battery life is one of the iPhone 3G’s biggest flaws. I’d look forward to this improvement the most.
    * Apple logo on the rear side will light up–This one is random, indeed. Outside of the, "Look at me, I have an iPhone!" factor I can’t imagine why you’d want this. Plus, I agree that it would be useless and annoying if it negatively affected battery life.
    * Built-in compass–This is a bit random, but anything is possible. You can get limited compass functionality through a compass app.
    * Built-in FM transmitter–This would be a first for Apple, so I’m suspicious. But I’d like it.
    * Other physical changes–AppleiPhoneApps says the metal border might go away and the new model could have a sleeker profile and a rubber tread on its backside. Personally, I think the iPhone is sleek enough already, but some CNET readers have said the opposite. The rubber tread would protect against falls, I suppose. The blog also mentioned an OLED display.

The application is available immediately and will be sold via operator distribution. Mobile operators are expected to offer the new iPhone application under their own brands via the iPhone Application Store, enabling subscribers to view local live television channels and on-demand video clips.

PV’s first ever commercial application for the iPhone is powered by PV’s well-known CORE™ software platform that has shipped in more than 260 million mobile phones worldwide. In addition to video streaming and playback capabilities, PV’s CORE supports the middleware services needed to deliver live and on-demand content, including support for mobile operator TV services electronic program guide (EPG) information.

We look forward to supporting other exciting new iPhone applications in the near future.”

This is a painting program written by Lim Ding Wen, a 9 year old iPhone developer living in Singapore. This program is designed specially for his sisters and all the kids in the world.

The application has been downloaded more than 100,000 times since its release on Feb. 14.

While many kids his age are content to simply play games on the iPhone or PSP, Ding Wen is all about programming in ActionScript and JavaScript. He also understands five other programming languages and is already hard at work on his next app, a game called “Invader Wars.”

Doodle Kids is initially written by Ding Wen for the Apple IIGS computer, and is ported to iPhone with the original Super Hires color palette.
