Apple Back to School Deals rumored to offer free iPhone 3G
The Apple Back To School Deals are for student, teacher, or staff member only and usually are available from June to September. MacRumors reports that Apple might announce the Back to School deals already tomorrow. Apple is rumored to be offering the 8GB iPhone 3G along with the 8GB iPod touch and 8GB iPod nano for free with a qualifying Apple Mac purchase.
Update: Apple Back To School Deals official.
Of course you still would have to sign a 2 year contract with AT&T, but you would save the $200.
Apple just recently started offering the iPhone 3G in their online store. Of course such a rebate promotion would help clear the inventory of the 8GB iPhone 3G and make room for the new iPhone 2009.

Developers Receive Free iPhone OS v3.0 Beta 2 - Secret Details Revealed!
When Apple announced version 3.0 of its iPhone/iPod Touch OS, it lit up the blogosphere. What capabilities did the new OS bring? Might it accompany a new hardware release?
Ultimately, the announcement was just a hint at what the new OS might actually look like or what features it might have. New APIs were thoroughly discussed, but various subtleties were passed over, for obvious reason.
Now more information on the new OS is finally landing. Apple released the first beta of the OS to iPhone and iPod Touch developers a couple weeks ago. Now the second beta has landed, bringing speed and stability improvements.
One big change to the interface in the second beta is the inclusion of more homescreens. The current iPhone OS has 9 home screens, each containing 16 applications. With the four applications in the dock, this adds up to 148 applications that can be loaded on the phone at a time. While plenty for most, the new OS expands this to eleven homescreens, raising the number of allowed apps to a whopping 180 programs.
Another interest tidbit/new feature was discovered by developers under the Settings menu. A blank item titled "Store" has been added. It appears that Apple is going to add preferences that users can set for the Applications store, though it has not done so yet.

Rumors: A new, better iPhone 3.0 this summer?
- New iPhone announcement around mid-June (duh)
- New iPhone will be faster and have a more seamless experience unmatched by any device (could be just talking about 3.0, but we think it’s also a new iPhone)
- U-Verse iPhone application; will allow control of your home DVR (play, pause, rewind, etc.)
- The annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition.“
- Nothing official is being confirmed, but they said that people should prep for an exciting time this summer.
- AT&T is said to be working with Apple to create a unified product with an unparalleled experience across all their products and services.
- Apple’s 3.0 software should tell us where the iPhone platform is going… uh, k?
- They said customers shouldn’t need to choose from AT&T’s high-end devices because of features, they should choose based on preferences. The gap in capability should be filled with the new iPhone. Ok, bets on slide out QWERTY, autofocus camera, video sharing, blah blah?
- Seems like the higher speed HSDPA (7.2Mbps) is being hinted at too which should confirm the earlier rumors of the new Infineon chipset.
- The $99 3G netbook will start selling this summer, and the first one won’t be a Windows OS.
