BusinessWeek says that AT&T may offer a limited data plan with a $10 monthly reduction.  Since AT&T has been widely criticized for the cost of the iPhone plans since the device was first released, the report speculates that it's a part of the negotiations to keep AT&T as the exclusive carrier for the Apple's device.

Apple plans to introduce a new version of iPhone software in June, and it may be followed by unveiling a new device. The report also says that AT&T will reduce the up-front price of the new iPhone by as much as $100, to $99 and even will offer the prepaid iPhone services.

Now this seems pretty useful, if you ask me. The iPhone 3G FUEL is the latest offering from Case-Mate and offerings a way to carry your iPhone and boost your battery life at the same time. And that's a deal that you can't really beat.

The FUEL makes it so you can charge your iPhone no matter where you are. Even if you leave your charger at home, you'll be okay to go because the device provides you with an extra 9-hours of talk time.

Additionally, you can add on 7 extra web browsing hours, 24-hours of music playback, 8-hours of video playback and up to 250-hours of standby time. You can sync your iPhone 3G with this device as well. You can get the iPhone 3G FUEL Rechargeable Battery Pack today for $79.99.

Could these be the new iPhone that Apple may announce at WWDC09 on June 8, 2009? iPhone buzz just got an anonymous tip which included a boat load of rendered images and two short video clips labeled “iPhone unibody” and “iPhone nano”.

Keep in mind that these are mere rendering of what may or may not be the real products if anything at all – so take it with a grain of salt. It’s likely however that Apple may end up offering the iPhone in a wide variety of colors similar to the iPod nano called iPhone-chromatic.

Click through to watch the two rendered videos of the iPhone-chromatic unibody and nano!

The new supposed iPhone unibody and iPhone nano design does look like something we can expect from Apple, offering a thinner and sleeker look. I personally tjink these renderings look good and of course keeping my fingers crossed that the third version of the iPhone will look this good.

We'll bring you "live" coverage of WWDC09 keynote at http://live.slashgear.com on Monday June 8th at 10AM.  Alternatively, you can also follow http://twitter.com/followlive for the latest updates.

Update: Apparently, these images and videos are just concept designs where our tipster got them from nowhereelse.fr.  Thanks for the update Stagueve.

Thanks tipster!

It'll come as no surprise to hear that we love the iPhone 3G here at iPhone Buzz, but we're not such fans of its battery life.  A well-used iPhone 3G can fail to last the day, which is why we're also so keen on the Mophie Juice Pack Air.  Now, courtesy of Mophie themselves, we've got a Juice Pack Air to give away to one lucky iPhone Buzz reader!

The Juice Pack Air promises to double your iPhone 3G's runtime, as well as offering the protection of a hard case.  Despite that, it's only 0.75-inches thick, and adds just 20-percent more weight.  Check out our review of the Mophie Juice Pack Air here.
