Rumour Smashed: AT&T’s iPhone Black Reference Just Placeholder Text
5:10AM Jason Chen | An AT&T spokesperson just told us that the iPhone Black dropdown reference on the AT&T Wireless website is just a temporary placeholder. The spokesperson says that it was used over the weekend for a “scheduled catalog update,” distinguishing the various iPhone models (4GB, 8GB and 16GB). Sorry dudes, the 3G iPhone is probably not called the iPhone Black. Unless, of course, the spokesperson was just covering AT&T’s butt, which could always be possible. More »

AT&T Slips iPhone Black Reference in Customer Pages
2:47AM Jesus Diaz | Something called the “iPhone Black” is now appearing in the “Select Model” popup menu on AT&T’s registered customers screen. An AT&T spokesperson has told us that the company doesn’t have any comment on this. And we don’t know what “iPhone Black” means, but some may take this as a confirmation of the rumoured all-black iPhone allegedly coming next month. However, since there’s no other information except this screenshot, we will take it as is. [AppleInsider] More »

New Zune Colours Make the Beast With Two Black Backs
9:25AM Jason Chen | If you’ve got time and absolutely nothing better to do, you can grab a resource explorer and dive into the Zune software. What would you find? Some images of two new Zunes, both with a black back. The current black 80GB and red 8GB Zunes have a silver back, which are also pictured, so these would be new new. It looks like just bad lighting, but the resource item actually says “black back.” We don’t know whether these are retail colours or just limited edition Zunes for employees, but we’ll probably find out soon.

Sony Rolly Soon Rolling Out in Black Shell, Coloured Arms
6:33PM Gizmodo US Edition | Seems like Sony’s Rolly really is due out soon, and it’ll be available in a black body version with a matching black cradle. If black’s too boring for you, then you’ll also be able to trick your Rolly out with blue, red or silver replacement “arms”. Maybe they’re “wings”? Whichever: the little rolling, MP3-playing guy will be out in black from April 19th in Japan for around $430, while a coloured arm set will cost around $20. Presumably Rolly will be rolling up on US shores sometimes soon after. [AV Watch] More »
