A bumper crop of iPhone apps, lots of Apple (AAPL) speculation and a Steve Jobs sighting in London.
 57 iPhone Apps
The 300 or so software developers who gathered in Adobe's (ADBE) offices for a three-day programmers' boot camp last weekend produced an impressive number of Web-based applications for the iPhone -- even if most of them don't do much more than play food games with the gadget's tilt sensor. See the full list (with links) here.
iPhone Nano
Everybody's talking this morning about JP Morgan analyst Kevin Chang, who discovered the scroll-wheel phone patent AppleInsider wrote about last week, put it together with reports from an unnamed supply-chain source, and came up with a prediction that Apple will release a nano-sized iPhone by Christmas and sell a gazillion of them. [UPDATE: Not surprisingly, JP Morgan withdrew the report, saying Apple releasing such a device in this time frame would be "unusual and highly risky."] Sixth Gen iPod
Not to be outdone, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster, drawing on remarks that Steve Jobs made at the Apple town meeting just before the iPhone launch (and reported by Ars Technica), told clients yesterday to expect a 6th generation video iPod with an iPhone-size multitouch screen and a version of OS X to be released by MacWorld 2008. iMac Overhaul
In the most detailed description yet of the long-rumored overhaul of the iMac line, AppleInsider reports that the new desktop machines will be unbelievably slim, available only in 20- and 24-inch configurations (no 17-inch) and sport a similarly slender MacBook-like keyboard. Steve Iphone Jobs in London
A brief report in ifoApple Store that Steve Jobs was spotted at London's Regent Street store over the weekend led to a flood of speculation that he might be in town to announce winners of the iPhone Eurocarrier bakeoff, perhaps as early as Monday July 16. iPhone in Canada
It's "beautiful... powerful ... revoluationary (sic)" and coming soon, according to BestBuy Canada, which devotes a badly spelled page to whetting appetites north of the border -- and collecting e-mail addresses for future spamming.
