Lawsuit filed over iPhone 3G performance
It looks like Apple and AT&T will have to answer to the strong hand of the law again. Seems as though some people dislike the iPhone enough to sue over it. In the latest round of iPhone lawsuits, William Gillis has filed suit against both companies, citing network performance as grounds.

Apple’s September 9th event is on
In the last month, rumors upon rumors have been swirling around, including one of a September 9th Apple event. Today, Engadget claims that the event is indeed set for the 9th (a week from today, Tuesday the 2nd) and has a nifty image describing the event. As pictured above, the event’s information is displayed on an iPod classic/nano interface and says the event will be in San Francisco, at 10am. Above the info is a tagline, “Let’s Rock,” all but confirming this event will focus on the iPod line.
What will this event introduce into Apple’s iPod line? Perhaps the Kevin Rose iPod nano (as it is now known) is actually for real, given the cases already made in its form factor. Maybe the interactive album art app will come to fruition, and become the killer app the iPhone / iPod touch still lacks.
Comment and share your thoughts on what you think the event will bring.

Found - Hama iPod nano 4G cases
On the floor of the IFA, Engadget Spanish discovered a certain iPod case that seems to prove those Kevin Rose rumors. Looks like the Dark Tipper wasn’t lying after all. On a massive wall with thousands upon thousands of iPod accessories, a single case from Hama, a British company, was pecked out. The case says “For iPod nano 4G” (pictured above), and if a real item is a fake, then somebody really put a lot of money into pulling a prank on the iPod-loving community. It carries the rounded shape that was predicted by Mr. Digg, and seems to fit the dimensions shown in other iPod nano document that have been released.
From the information we received from Kevin Rose, and now this, a new iPod nano is all but confirmed. However, especially with Apple, the minor details are always still in the air, so check back here for more as it happens, especially on (the rumored d-day) September 9th.

Goodbye, Tris, we miss you already [Update]
You may remember my favorite Tetris clone, Tris, that was released in the App Store in the second week of August. In my opinion, it is the best Tetris clone available, and quite possibly the best free game on the App Store as of this writing. But, that’s not going to last. No, soon it will not be the best free game on the App Store; mostly because it won’t be available.
Find out why after the break.

Rare new iPod nano features discovered: failure and deformation
First generation iPod nano owners, listen up. If your iPod nano was purchased between September of 05 and December of 06, then you might have some “hot” features you don’t want.
Macworld has an article that details Apple recognition that “in very rare cases” (about 0.001 percent) said iPods could overheat. Apple is blaming the problem on an unnamed battery supplier. The faulty batteries can, in some instances, overheat, causing “failure and deformation of the iPod Nano.”
