There has been rumours that Apple will be releasing a new iPhone with 3G support. The current iPhone has 2.5G support, which has slower data speeds. This will allow the new iPhone to be suitable for use across all Australian telco carriers and even better news, it is said that Australia will be one of the first countries to experience the new iPhone.

Reported rumours claim that up to 10million 3G iPhone handsets have been ordered and is due to be released around June/July 2008. Australia was one of the countries that missed out on the 1st release of the original iPhone. Sorry, no pics of the new 3G iPhone as yet!

When paintball heads goes crazy and try to come up with new cool ideas, this is the result. The EMT Paintball sentry turret system. It can hold up to 400 rounds (upgradable to 1000+), consists of colour CCD camera, remote control and 7″ LCD monitor to sport some of its features. The upgrade features are just as interesting with LED flood lights for improved night vision and virtual 50″ LCD glasses which project the image seen from the on board turrent camera to give you a cool “Turret cam” right before your eyes.

Perhaps another application is for personal home security to fend off those unwanted guests. At a price tag of $1399 USD (without the upgrades) you have to be a real paintball enthusiast to sink that kind of funds.  A very interesting addition to paintball warfare I must say!

Upon  further research, it seems that some people has even taken it a step further and installed laser guided targeting system on the paintball sentry gun.

Forget about handheld rubber band guns, the Disintegrator rubber band gatling gun will blow that to shreds.  The Disintegrator has been created by a company called Dunstable in England and this rubber band powered gatling gun is capable of firing 40 shots per second via its 24 barrels. The barrels spin via motors mounted behind the barrels. Only downside is the tedious task of loading of the rubber band bullets.

Here’s a little segment from the Gadget Show with a live test of the gun shooting down several targets…
