The current range of Apple products—such as the Macintosh, AirPort and iOS devices—all utilize the current standard of 802.11n specification, but if rumors pan out we will soon be seeing a new network of 802.11ac chips that would feature better range and power efficiency than the existing chips.

Either Apple is doing what they obviously should by adding 802.11n to the feature list of the next iPhone or someone knows what I want and is making up detailed rumors to make me salivate. I’m sticking with the first. AppleInsider dug up some information pertaining to a new WiFi and Bluetooth chip that’s supposed to make it’s way into a new iPod touch, and through the law of obviousness, a new iPhone.

The Audioengine W2 is a wireless music adapter compatible with the iPhone and iPods. There are two main components; the Sender and the Receiver. Setup is very simple; connect the Sender to your iPod via the dock connector, plug the Receiver into a powered USB plug (either the included AC power adapter or a computer), and connect the included wire from the Receiver to your stereo or desktop speakers. A mini-jack to RCA cable and a mini-jack cable are included in the box for connecting the adapters to your speakers.

Originally, Veiosoft was slated to release their app DataCase July 28th. They’ve since decided to utilize Apple’s App Store Beta testing service. The service allows Veiosoft to release their app to 100 iPhones for testing, in order to avoid any bugs in the official release next week.

DataCase is a tool to wirelessly access the storage space on your iPhone or iPod Touch. The beauty of the app is that you don’t need any special uploading programs. The device shows up in the Finder under the Shared section, and allows you to drag and drop your files to and from your device. Heaven forbid you might be forced into using a PC, fret not. The app works with any computer that is connected to your wireless network.

La Repubblica, a well known Italian publication, is reporting, in Italian of course, that there will soon be a 3G iPhone in Italy. However, this would be no normal release.
