Mossberg Hints new iPhone

Veteran columnist Walt Mossberg hinted in his Palm Pre review late yesterday at the release of the next iPhone. The writer is adamant that the new Apple phone is due next week and cautions that some of Palm's equality or superiority in features is likely to be hurt by the new iPhone, which "will have lots of added features." He also expects to see many of the features that have previously been rumored, including a sharper camera with video capture, a faster processor, a magnetometer-based compass and 32GB of internal storage.

The journalist anticipates the new iPhone is "likely available within a month."

While it's possible the claims are based solely on rumors, the certainty of some remarks has suggested inside knowledge. Mossberg is one of the few writers Apple currently seeds with advance information about its product launches and often has reviews of iPhones and Macs ahead of when they ship for the general public.
