Is Apple planning a quiet iPhone update?  That’s what The BGR has heard, with two AT&T sources suggesting that the iPhone 3G 8GB will be replaced with an 8GB entry-level iPhone 3GS in time for Christmas.  The move is apparently intended, one of those sources claims, to better battle the DROID army from Verizon.

The iPhone 3GS 8GB would keep the same $99 price point as its simple-3G predecessor, but get the same speedier chipset and other benefits of the newer 3GS range.  CurrentlySource: SlashGear RSS Feed

At a minimum, you should have a non-guessable password — one with aSource: Switched RSS Feed

Well, this is a rarity: A sports game mode that’s too nerdy even for us.
