iPhone 4G Rumors Visualized [PHOTO]

Last week, some enterprising fans created a visual guide to the Apple Tablet rumors. Today, the French website Nowhere Else has done something similar for the next generation iPhone. The image highlights the various rumors surrounding the next version of the iPhone (the iPhone 4G if you will) into one annotated graphic.
As for the removable battery rumor, 60% likely or not, we don’t see that happening. Apple has moved its portable line to built-in batteries; it seems unlikely to us that they would add a removable battery to the iPhone.
You can check out a larger version of the image directly at Nowhere Else. What do you think of this roundup? What features would you like to see in the next iPhone? Let us know!

POLL: Google Destroys Bing in Reader Vote
December 5th, 2009 NIT Tags: Apple iPhone, best search engine, Bing, Chrome, edition web, Faceoff, fence sitters, Firefox, Google, google docs, Pandora, Read, series, tie, tie vote, Twitter, week, winner
We’ve had some close calls here in our ongoing Faceoff Series, but this week’s was certainly not one of them.
Each week we put two web services, companies or pieces of software side by side and ask you which of the two would win in a knockdown, drag out fight. This week we pitted Google against Bing for the Best Search Engine crown, and the victory was decisive.
Much like last week’s matchup when Verizon trounced AT&T in a battle of cell carriers, this week saw a clear winner emerge once again. Out of almost 3000 votes, the unsurprising victor was…
…Google with a full 78% of the vote. That’s 2180 votes to Bing’s 519, relegating it to a distant 2nd place at 19%. A slim 3% tie vote at 97 fence-sitters rounded out this week’s head to head brawl.
Check out the full list of winners in the Faceoff series listed below. We’ll keep the series rolling starting again on Monday, so be sure to tune in. Who do you think we should match up in a future edition?
