An iPhone-esque touchscreen iPod could be unveiled as early as tomorrow, according to an unnamed ThinkSecret source.

There’s little, if any, evidence to back this up, and, as ThinkSecret points out: “it seems unlikely that Apple would seek to make an announcement that would draw attention away from its forthcoming iPhone launch.”

Nevertheless, I thought I should bring it to your attention, in case that it is true.

“What makes this new information at least partially plausible is that the touch-screen technology that the iPhone and future iPod will employ has already been perfected and finalized,” said ThinkSecret.

An AT&T store rep. told the blogger at Tekno Junkie that the iPhone would retail at a non-contract price of $899/$999 for the 4GB and 8GB phones.

The prices are worth noting, but as I’ve said before, I don’t trust store sales reps. so I’ll take this rumor with a grain of salt.

Two photos presumably taken with an Apple iPhone surfaced on Flickr last Saturday, as revealed by MobileGuerilla.

There’s been ongoing speculation about whether the photos were actually taken on an iPhone. I looked into it and now have proof (or at least very strong evidence) that they were.

This may not interest all of you, but there’s apparently a rumor going around that the iPhone will integrate with the Final Cut Server and act as a wireless video monitor for use in film production.

If true, a director going over lines with an actor could use the iPhone as a visual aid for viewing certain film clips. Multi-Media Me got word of the rumor. Not sure where it originated, so be skeptical, but if true this could be just one of many examples of how the iPhone could work with all kinds of Apple software to enhance the user experience.

Derek Punsalan already has his $150 iPhone rebate. Remember the receipt he got with “2 YR Agreement SAVINGS $150.00″ printed at the bottom?

Well, that receipt probably referred to the iPhone rebate that AT&T now has up its sleeve. Thanks, Derek, for pointing that out.
