NokNok is reporting a rather interesting rumor — Apple will be releasing a version of iTunes for S60 in January. Â It’s a very intriguing thought.
On one hand, it’s completely illogical. Â Why would they support other phones? Â Why not just drive more users to the iPhone?
On the other hand, it will increase the reach of the iTunes Store, resulting in more sales. Â Anything to drive more sales to the store must be a good thing, right?
I tend to agree with NokNok that this won’t really happen, but you never know. Â Here are a couple of teaser screenshots for you:

It’s widely believed that iTunes 8 will be unveiled on Tuesday, but a growing number of people think we’ll see the release of iPhone 2.1 on Tuesday as well.
Even juicier, Apple has reportedly kept a few features of 2.1 hidden from the developer seeds in order to keep them a secret. Â I wonder what those might be?
There are also a few other questions. Â The big one: what about push notification? Â It was in the first few developer releases of 2.1, then removed. Â Will it make it into the final version? Â I sure hope so.
In any case, Tuesday should have some surprises for us.

Digg’s founder Kevin Rose loves to push out “rumors” about Apple products, and he’s rarely accurate. Still, he’s right from time to time, and it’s fun stuff to listen to.
His latest rumors:
- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic on the right).
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 (”it’s a big update w/new features”).
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.
Most of it seems believable. Other sources have been whispering about new iPods, a price drop on the Touch makes perfect sense, and we know that Touch/iPhone 2.1 is coming next month.
In this case, Kevin might be dead accurate. We’ll find out soon.

The WordPress app for the iPhone has finally been released and you can find it in the iTunes app store here. I created a draft of this post using it, and it works pretty well. It certainly won’t be my primary blogging tool, but it’ll be very nice to have when I’m on the road. Give it a shot and let us know what you think of it.
