The Kyocera Neo E1100 is a forgettable CDMA handset save for the fact that it has a glowing blue “lightpipe” and a hidden OLED display on its minimal exterior. Other than that, it has Bluetooth 2.0 and a 1.3 MP camera. But hey, it’s nice to look at and it’s coming soon to a North American carrier near you.

Did you ever do a pinhole camera experiment in school? No? You missed out on some good long-exposure fun. But now you can catch up: the folks at picture agency Corbis have got a bunch of strange designs you can print out, stick to some card and turn into your very own pinhole camera. The idea is that you stick some 35mm film in them, but if you want to mess around with chemicals (always the most fun part of it all, to my mind) you could always pop a bit of pic paper inside. Should take you right back to the early days of photography… great for landscapes, or those stern-looking portraits of people prepared to sit very still for a while. [Corbis via Crave]

Sadly, this is the only one left.

Analysts are predicting that a new 3G iPhone will appear sooner than later based on supply problems at 20 Apple retail stores nationwide. Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster called a number of Apple stores and found that most had no iPhones in stock. Because the supply lead time for Apple is about seven days, this is highly uncommon and either points to supply problems or a 3G iPhone appearing in the next few weeks. Munster does not believe that the new iPhone will be significantly different from the old version and will sell at around $400. Keep in mind that these are all rumors and innuendo and unless Apple is getting much worse at keeping secrets, I’d give this a 70% chance of being true.

Mr. T states I’m crazy and he may be right. I’m a bird! I’m a plane! I’m a choo-choo train! But Mr.T-Mobile is the only crazy one: they requested Engadget Mobile to halt using their shade of magenta in his logo because it might lead to “confusion in the marketplace.” Their shade of magenta? I’ve known magenta since she was a kid! She was called Cynthia back then. Don’t worry Mr. Block, it’ll all pass. Just hold your breath, and remember your exercises! [Engadget via Gadget Lab]
