• Buy TV Shows: HBO TV Series Now Available on iTunes
• Computer Shopping: Dell Coupons Expiring Today!
• iPhone Rumor: New iPhone to Have Bigger Screen?
  

A friend of mine first led me onto this iPhone rumor.

I just caught site of an article talking about a new version of the iPhone that may come out, which includes a bigger screen. This new iPhone is supposed to have a resolution of about 720×480 pixels and to include the new Intel nuclear chip. The rumor of the nuclear chip to be included in the phone has been confirmed by Germany-World’s managing director Hannes Schwaderer, but we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Steve Jobs on the iPhone. Maybe he’ll say something about it at the World Wide Developer Conference June 9th through the 12th in San Francisco.

I’m not sure how legit the photo is that was included in the article, but if that’s really how big it is going to be, I’m not so sure if I’m going to be sold on it. Sometimes size DOESN’T matter. I’m sorry, I had to.

And this week in the Smarter Gadgets Blog we talked about:

• Epson Deal: Save 25% off Select Epson Papers
• The Time Burton Batmobile is on Sale on eBay
• Crutchfield Savings: Save $25 off Purchases of $150
• AT&T Now Offering Free Wi-Fi Hot Spots for iPhone
  

From those I know who have the iPhone, they love the phone, they just aren’t too thrilled about their data plan. What’s the use for having a phone like this if you can’t browse the net on the network? Although it works great on Wi-Fi, you have to pay at most joints if you can’t pull it for free from someone’s house. I mean, if you do that sort of thing.

Well, things have just gotten a little bit better. AT&T is now offering their Wi-Fi hotspots for free as part of their plans for the iPhone. That includes all Barnes and Noble and Starbucks stores that AT&T is offered in. Not a bad deal. And once the 3G comes out, you’ll be set everywhere for a quick connection.

Do you remember when the Star Wars movies would come out and everyone would wait outside in long lines, dressed up in their favorite character from the movies?

With the new Batman movie coming out, The Dark Knight, wouldn’t it be nice to take it up another notch and roll up to the premiere in your own original Batmobile from the Tim Burton Batman movies?

Holy rusted metal! You mean we can!?! (Sorry, that was my poor attempt at a Robin quote).

Anyways, right now on eBay, this Batmobile owner is selling one of the five original cars from the movies. Despite the lack of doors (you’ll have to be limber enough to jump through the roof), it does come with a 5.7 liter engine hidden beneath that 20-feet frame.

Cape, Bat Cave and traits to becoming a vigilante of the night are not included.
