Three days ago, the Samsung (R900) Craft leaked out in pictures and Unwired View has a bit more information regarding the launch of this LTE-packing handset. If you read the title then you already know where I'm headed. Apparently, MetroPCS will be launching the Samsung Craft sometime in September. It'll be sporting a touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2MP camera, and the Touchwiz UI. It's pretty sad that the specs aren't all that high-end - you can't even consider it a smartphone. But, that'll keep the price down which is rumoured to be $300 contract-free.

The latest word on the street is that Apple will be holding their annual September event on the 7th and it'll, of course, be focused on media. This includes the predictable iPod refresh (new Touch, Nano) and could actually be the announcement / release of the next Apple TV, which may or may not include 99 cent rentals. This would be really interesting and would be the start of the next Google and Apple war since they're already competitors on so many different levels. You never know, maybe it'll also be the event where Apple will pull the big unveil on their MacBook Air update as well.

Update: iPodNN has just pointed out that Apple has officially announced that they'll be holding their event on September 1st which is on a Wednesday - different from their usual Tuesday-held events.
