It's no secret in the past year Steve Jobs has become the incredible shrinking man, going from skinny to even skinnier and leading to speculation that the pancreatic cancer that nearly took his life in 2004 had returned.

In an exclusive but not especially pleasant phone call to New York Times business reporter Joe Nocera, Jobs revealed the truth about his medical condition; here's the small part of the interview that was on the record:

So apparently iPhone owners in Canada are all up in arms because exclusive carrier Rogers Communications is ripping their customers with over-the-top data plans, - 300 weekday minutes, 750mb data cap on 3G phones, with a three year commitment for 75 bucks a month... $93 with tax.

Within minutes of Steve Jobs' iPhone presentation being concluded, the Apple store already had the 3G iPhone up for preorder. Once again the big suprise is that the 8GB iPhone 3G will only cost $199, with the 16GB costing $299 and coming in white. Both prices are with AT&T contrac. 

The handset will be available July 11th in 22 major markets, with the rollout eventually reaching 70 different countries.

After what seems like 10 years of waiting, the iPhone 3G has officially been announced!

And the device is now 3.6 times faster on the new 3G network, but the big news is the price, it's been lowered to $199 for the 8GB version. A 16GB version will cost $299 and be available in white. It also has the much rumored addition of GPS, as well as the all black back and a make that's thinner around the edges.

The App Store concept is being a little more fleshed out...

It will be available in 62 countries and developers can keep 70% of revenues. If the application is less than 10MB they can be downloaded directly on a cell phone, otherwise via Wi-Fi or the computer version of iTunes.

Applications that are free for users, the App store will host for free, and the programs will be wrapped with FairPlay DRM.

It appears that HBO has finally given Steve Jobs an offer he couldn't refuse; bending the long held one price for everything structure of iTunes to allow such programs as The Sopranos, Rome, and Deadwood to be sold for $2.99 per episode.

Other HBO properties such as Sex in the City, The Wire, and Flight of the Conchords will also be available for download on iPhones, iPods, and the web, but for the traditional iTunes price of $1.99 per episode.

Okay, here's how it works: Apple hasn't officially admitted that's the date they'll physically unveil the 2nd generation iPhone, but at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference, that's Monday, June 9th is the date and 10am PCT the time that Steve Jobs will give his keynote speech.

You've probably heard that Jennifer Aniston has gone on like two dates with John Mayer... which if the tabloid are to be believed means they're already in love and practically married.

If you thought the worship of Steve Jobs by Apple enthusiasts was already bordering on creepy, check this out:

A collage made entirely of Apple products such as the iPod and iPhone, nothing says I'm crying out for help, but with a sleek sense of style, quite like hanging the Steve Jobs Collage on your office wall.

What could Steve Jobs possibly do to top his 2007 Macworld address where he unveiled the first iPhone to the world?
