AppleStore shut for 'update' - new kit coming?
Watch this space
Apple's online AppleStore - it's US incarnation, at least - has temporarily shut its doors to customers pending an update. This typically happens when the Mac maker's just about to announce new products.
As we wrote earlier, it's unlikely to be a new, smaller, cheaper iPhone, but in this business you never say never.
The most likely change will be the debut of the anticipated new aluminium iMac enclosure, rumoured to be due mid-July to mid-August.
But we shouldn't rule out the possibility of the appearance of the ultra-slim, potentially Flash-based MacBook Pro, though most moles appear to maintain is due to debut later this year.
Whatever Apple has up its corporate sleeve, Register Hardware will bring you the details as soon as they emerge.

Refurb Store
I noticed the refurb store has had a facelift yesterday.. could well have been that?
The AppleTV had the 160Gb drive added about a month ago, but they didn't seem to make a huge fuss about it.
New AppleTV
Looks like they've finally upgraded the hard drive in the AppleTV.
There is a shiny 160GB version for £269.
US up, UK down
US shop now up and running, UK site down for update...
Why yes
I really think Apple would be so stupid as to announce another version of the iPhone less than a month after the first one shipped. Do you people actually read what you're writing anymore?
