As we’ve been discussing all the moxie gadget news from CES 2010 over at the Moxie Mo Show, Apple has still continuously been in the news (even when they weren’t a part of CES 2010!). First and foremost, the Apple tablet still has a lot of steam yet Apple has yet to say a word. The event is supposedly taking place on Wednesday, January 27th and space has been rented but we still have no idea exactly what Apple has up its sleeve.

In Moxie Mo Show episode 121, I spoke to Cali Lewis (during her livestream here) and I also spoke in my podcast that reports and “sources” have been buzzing about Apple’s tablet. That said, new reports are coming out now about Apple’s next-gen iPhone!

First, Apple has reportedly bought hundreds of thousands of LED flashes to install in their next-gen iPhones so we can actually take photos in low-light or dark-light areas. This would be a step in the right direction considering every other smart phone competitor has this option, practically.

Today, though, reports came from PC World that Apple’s next-gen iPhone will have 4G (a major speed improvement than AT&T’s horrible 3G coverage) and a 5 megapixel camera that would equal Google’s Nexus One. These, to me, are obvious and immeninent updates to the iPhone – after all, if the iPhone doesn’t upgrade in a MAJOR way, it has no chance of keeping the market share now that we have the Droid, the Pre, the Nexus One and countless others.

But when can we expect the next-gen 4G iPhone? Rumors are circulating that it may not be the typical June/July timeframe, when Apple has released their iPhones in the past. According to a French site, Challenge.fr, the next-gen iPhone will be released THIS spring (May timeframe) which could be very interesting. Again, rumors and speculation but I think any geek or expert would agree: if Apple intends to hold on to the majority of smart phone market share, something big and better must be coming. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

If you haven’t watched the latest Moxie Mo Show (Moxie Mo #116), then you’re missing out on some big news. Apple finally approved an iPhone 2G/3G app that allows these 2 iPhones to record video – without jailbreaking the iPhone! For more info and how to download the app now, click here!

According to AT&T’s press release today, they will begin “unlocking” MMS for iPhone 3G/3GS users on the West Coast in the morning and working its way to the east coast “later in the afternoon.” There will be instructions on how to update your phone (more than likely via iTunes) to get this feature that we’ve been waiting for…. months!

Thanks AT&T. Finally, let’s hope.

iPhone 3.0 is finally here and we have all the details from today’s Apple iPhone 3.0 event.

(1) Copy and Paste – the iPhone will now have copy and paste in almost all the applications. Simply double tap and it highlights the word of block of words.

(2) New Games, API and other programming stuff – which basically means we’ll have much better 3rd party apps for the iPhone. Turn by turn GPS, phenomenal games and other apps.

(3) MMS Support and Messages - the SMS app is now called Messages. You can now forward and delete individual messages and multiple messages. Plus: MMS! The iPhone finally has MMS (sending pics via text message).

(4) Voice Memos – send voice memos via SMS to anyone you want!

(5) Landscape Mode – turn the iPhone over and landscape mode will appear in all the apps – notes, email, SMS, stocks, weather, etc. Makes it much easier to view and write messages and in certain apps, landscape mode gives you more information (i.e. Stocks – turn it to landscape mode and you’ll see delta points from day before stocks, etc).

There is much more to know in regards to iPhone 3.0 and we will have much more later!

I wrote earlier what I believed to be a personal fix to the iTunes sync-crashing issue that has plagued thousands of iPod and iPhone users in the last four days. Today, Apple sent me an email detailing the issue and their suggestion on how to fix it, and it looks very similar to what I posted two days ago:

Dear Customer,

Recently, we uncovered an issue which was causing iTunes to unexpectedly quit when synced with an iPod or an iPhone. This issue impacted a small number of users, and we have identified your account as potentially being affected.

If you have experienced this issue, please follow these steps in order to sync your iPod or iPhone with iTunes:

1. Launch iTunes
2. Select “Deauthorize Computer” from the Store menu
3. Enter your iTunes Store Account ID and Password, then click the Deauthorize button
4. Next, choose “Authorize Computer” from the Store menu
5. Enter your iTunes Store Account ID and Password, then click the Authorize button

Once you have successfully deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, you should be able to sync your iPod or iPhone to iTunes.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that you may have experienced as a result of this issue.

Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer.

The last three days I’ve noticed something very peculiar with iTunes. Ever since I upgraded my iPhone to 2.2.1, things have been fine for the first 2 days. Then I deleted a song and all of a sudden now every time I sync my iPhone, iTunes crashes. This has happened THIRTY times now.

So I googled and you’ll never believe what I’ve found – there are THOUSANDS of people who are having this exact same problem in the last several days. Some have deleted songs and then it crashed and some have not. So I thought it best to post what I did to fix my problem, so far. I have no idea if this solution will keep working, but at least I can sync my iPhone with all of my DRM and non-DRM content and it’s working.

CNET and MacNN have begun covering this debacle – I just hope other big blogs cover this so Apple will hurry and fix it.

Here’s the Apple forums for you to peruse if you’re having this problem. Click here.

Here’s what I did to get it working again:

(1) Deauthorized my computer in iTunes (Store -> Deauthorize Computer)

(2) Authorize my computer in iTunes (Store -> Authorize Computer) – NOTE: if you have AppleTV, this will reset it and AppleTV will have to sync all your content again, but this is normal and just fine. You won’t lose anything.

(3) Go into iTunes Store, purchase a free app.

(4) Sync.

For some reason, this is working for me. According to the Apple forums, it works for most of us and for others it doesn’t.

Apple, please hurry.
