At this point, it’s difficult to say exactly what we believe. Just a fortnight ago, we heard that the so-called Apple tablet would ship with a 9.6-inch display and a P.A. Semi processor, and now iLounge is hearing from “trusted sources” that something other than that is true. The latest round of maybe-sorta-probably-not-true whispers is that the current prototype of the device boasts a 10.7-inch display and a resolution near 720p. Of course, we’ve no idea where Apple would source a capacitive touchscreen of that size, but we wouldn’t put anything past El Jobso. Moving on, we’re told that iPhone OS will be used, signifying that this will be more of an advanced media player / light communication device than a full-on netbook competitor. Finally, we’re told that a 3G and non-3G version will be offered, and if Mr. Boss signs off on it, it could be announced as early as January with a June / July ship date. Oh, and it’ll come pre-loaded with Unicorn-approved applications and a vial of fairy dust — huzzah!

Oh, brother. TomTom just hit us up with the real details on its iPhone car kit slip this morning, and we’ve got a feeling you won’t like what it has to say. It confessed that the posting was indeed a mistake, and thus, the pricing was also incorrect. If you’ll recall (c’mon, it wasn’t that long ago), the Apple store listing explained that the £99.99 car kit included the iPhone app, when in reality, that price definitely does not include the app. Jump on past the break for TomTom’s official statement, which now curiously states that the “iPhone 2G” will be compatible with the car kit, yet doesn’t mention the iPod touch at all.

Griffin, known for its accessories for the iPod and iPhone, has just announced its latest and greatest (though just
how great is still in question). The latest iteration of the
iTrip takes full advantage of iPhone OS 3.0, allowing you to control the FM transmitter from your iPhone / iPod touch itself. Aren’t luscious touchscreen controls preferable to the iTrip’s tiny buttons anyways? In addition to app integration, the transmitter features track and artist information on RDS-compatible radios, SmartScan technology for finding the best available frequency in any locale, and a micro-USB port for charging any USB-powered iPod or iPhone from a charger. iTrip is available for $49.99, and the iTrip Controller software can be downloaded for free from the App Store.
