This week, ACD Systems launched a beta of its ACDSee Pro photography application for the Mac.

Curiouser and crazier is our motto of the moment, as we get what could be our third (3rd!) carrier leak of the day, following the T-Mobile Austria faux pas highlight an iPhone 32GB and the Vodafone Australia early EOL notice for the 16GB.

This one, according to PhoneArena.com, comes courtesy of and AT&T, which — if accurate — is offering to take in your as yet non-existent iPhone 32GB and give you $355.00 towards a trade in for last year’s BlackBerry Bold.

Okay…

More iPhone 32GB Leaks? Trade Yours in for a BlackBerry Bold Now!

A lawsuit by Cartier contends that Apple is infringing on its trademarks by hosting the Fake Watch app on the company's App Store.

Orange, one of the official carriers of the iPhone in France, has announced that they have sold their millionth iPhone since it first launched in November of 2007. To celebrate, Orange is offering their customers free access to their Roland-Garros iPhone application, which lets them watch the French Open on their iPhone.

Apple is drawing bad publicity once again for controversially denying yet another app for "explicit content", even though the content in question can be accessed on the internet and even by other apps in the App Store. App developer Jamie Montgomerie explained in an entry on his blog that his eBook reader app, Eucalyptus, has been repeatedly denied getting published in the App Store due to it's ability to access the Kama Sutra.

Adam Blum, CEO of Rhomobile, talks about his company's open-source mobile application framework and how it can be used to build mobile apps that work across multiple platforms.

Unsubstantiated rumor? Check. First time source? Check. Friend who wants to remain nameless? Check. That’s it then it’s crazy iPhone screenshot time!

The above come from Kwame Jones via Ars Technica and while I’m perfectly willing to believe Apple would extend their on-device music and podcast (including video podcast) download service to include movies and TV shows, and that we’d get early warning by way of leaked screenshots, I just can’t bring myself to believe this part of the story:

This revelation, (again at least to me) comes by way of an advertisement in the new ad supported version of the app Twitterfon released on 5/15/09. Three ads, stumbled upon by a geeky friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of the powerful arms of the Apple legal department, scrolling across the top of the app were for ‘iTunes Movies’, ‘iTunes TV’ and ‘iTunes Movie Rentals’.

Could Apple accidentally post content pre-official release? Sure, happens to everyone. But to advertise it through a network placement pre-release? Not since Steve Jobs walked the MobileMe hallways with a flamethrower, I’d wager.

If the service is for real, AT&T would no doubt impose the usual 10MB cap on 3G downloads, though Wi-Fi would work. 3G streaming, like with SlingPlayer Mobile, might just bring the network down like the towers of paper antenna it’s thus far proven to be.

Ifs, ands, and buts, aside, would you want on-device downloads for your TV and movies?

The sharp-eyed writers at iPhone Buzz pointed out that the T-Mobile Austria site was showing a placeholder for a 32GB iPhone earlier today -- at least until someone at T-Mobile pulled the item.

In case you've been off-planet for awhile and haven't kept up with the news, speculation is rampant about when the next iPhone will appear or be announced, and what new features we can expect. Industry pundit John Gruber, for example, speculated in an article yesterday that the next-gen device would have more storage (like the 32 GB described here), more internal memory -- 256 MB, a 600 MHz processor to replace the existing 400 MHz model, a built-in electronic compass, an autofocus lens, and video capabilities.

The Austrian faux pas appears to be proof that at least one of the features, more storage, is going to appear on whatever new iPhone may be coming our way soon. Speaking of that new iPhone, take our poll (below) and let us know when you think it will be shipping.
