iPhone Update Re-Configures Gmail Accounts

According to this Google FAQ, installing the iPhone 1.1.3 update will automatically update your gmail settings from POP to IMAP:

If you configured Gmail access on your iPhone by tapping the large 'Gmail' icon in mail setup, please note that installing software update 1.1.3 will automatically convert Gmail on your iPhone from POP access to IMAP access. This means that actions you take on your iPhone will now sync with actions in your Gmail web interface (i.e. messages you read on your iPhone will show up as 'Read' in the web interface). This also means that messages you delete on your iPhone will be moved to the Trash folder in the Gmail web interface, and thus deleted after 30 days. Please exercise caution when deleting messages, as this behavior is markedly different from POP access.

Live Keynote Coverage

MacSlash will not be providing live keynote updates today during Steve Jobs Macworld Keynote. However, there are some sources on the web that will have live coverage. Here's the list we know about. If you know of others, please list them in the comments.

• Mac Rumors
• MacObserver

• Gizmodo

And, it will be interesting to see how Twitter holds up during the keynote, since there will be many Twitterers in the hall, presumably updating from their phones.

Last Minute Rumour: Custom Sleeve to Ship This Friday

This one slipped in through the door just in time to be a final "pre-keynote rumour." Feel free to speculate about what you expect in a few hours, as well. Heidi writes "Expect a press release late Wednesday night regarding a new laptop case to SHIP THIS FRIDAY if Steve Jobs announces a new laptop at Macworld tomorrow. Two additional custom cases will follow in a matter of weeks. Just a heads-up to keep an eye out for it if you are interested.
