Nokia N8 to launch September 30th
I’d almost forgot about Nokia’s latest offering the N8 — especially with the release of Samsung’s Galaxy S line — but according Nokia’s Senior Comms Manager, Tapani Kaskinen, the long awaited Nokia N8 will “begin shipping 30th September.” Now, despite being machine translated from Finnish newspaper Kauppalehti, the date mentioned is pretty believable.

Well, in just two days we’ll find out what method comex will use to pee on Apple’s paunch parade.

Recently, Apple announced some new iPods and a new Apple TV — but little did they know, their new iPod touch product page featured graphics of an iPod touch with a “phone” app. Obviously this was a mistake, and we’re sure Steve Jobs gave them hell, but no more than 20 min passed after MaximumPC pointed it out, it was fixed. There you have it folks.
