I mentioned that the documents pertaining to the reason the warrant to search the Gizmodo editor’s home by the iPhone 4G prototype was being secreted away by the judge in the case. The judge has now denied a request to turn the search warrant documents by to media outlets.

Many have been expecting the iPhone to land on Verizon that year. One analyst has now decided that the iPhone will stay locked to AT&T considering he figures the cheap goods plans for the iPad 3G would have come with an extension on iPhone exclusivity.

This is still far (very far) from anything official, but an analyst suspects that the reason AT&T is offering cheap connectivity deals for Apple’s iPad is that AT&T did so in exchange for an extension on its exclusivity on Apple’s popular iPhone. We were plus reminded that the iPad’s goods plans are on a prepaid basis, so there is no contract to tie you to AT&T, which is something that AT&T has never done with the iPhone. According to the analyst, we wouldn’t see a Verizon iPhone until the first quarter of 2011, which is still more than half a year away. Do you think that AT&T and Apple brokered such a deal, or are folks just speculating too much by the lack of a Verizon iPhone?

According to a recent interview, René Obermann, CEO of T-Mobile USA parent company Deutsche Telekom, has mentioned that T-Mobile USA might start offering the iPhone as soon as late 2010, or early 2011. While the carrier’s current focus is obviously on Google’s Android OS, getting the iPhone on its network would be a great move, considering the huge appeal of Apple’s mobile phone. Does that mean that Apple’s exclusivity deal with AT&T is be going down the drain? Are you looking forward to T-Mobile offering the iPhone, or do you think that Android devices are the way to go?

Apple’s Mac Pro hasn’t been updated since way back in September 2009 when the Quad-Core model received support for 16GB of RAM. Now reports are indicating that the Core i7-980X and Core i7-970 processors might be arriving that month. whether you still remember, Apple was the first to use the Nehalem Xeon, thanks to an exclusivity deal with Intel, and whether history is going to repeat itself, we might see Apple having exclusivity with Intel’s latest processors for a while. These processors will be the first dual-socket, six-core processor from Intel. When you take into consideration that the processor will sport 6 cores and 12 threads, a dual-processor configuration will mean the i7-980X Mac Pro will sport 12 physical cores and 24 logical cores with a top frequency of 3.33GHz. whether that’s the case, you might want to hold off purchasing a new PC/Mac for the moment.

Besides the Apple tablet, and AT&T possibly losing its iPhone exclusivity, could there plus be an updated iPhone OS to be announced tomorrow? A mistake in the signup style for Apple’s iPhone Developer Program certain seems to indicate that something related to the iPhone will be happening tomorrow. A placeholder on the signup style (which has been confirmed) reads “Need to update that for the 27th launch”. There isn’t any mention of what will be launching, but considering earlier reports from Flurry, and some other rumors, it’s probably a smart bet to assume that it could be the iPhone 4.0 OS.

The US-bound Motorola Milestone A853 might be out in Brazil already, but it is nice to know that the smartphone is heading Stateside as well. that quad-band GSM and tri-band 850/1900/2100 3G phone looks suitable for AT&T or Rogers, and could very well be part of the Android product line up from AT&T in the coming year. With news that AT&T could be losing its iPhone exclusivity in due day, the company needs all the help it can get when it comes to snazzier and jazzed up handsets before the floodgates burst open and all the other carriers have a slice of the iPhone pie.

Could the day where AT&T loses its iPhone exclusivity be around the corner? There aren’t any concrete reports on it yet (there never are), but it’s speculated that AT&T will be losing its iPhone exclusivity during Apple’s big announcement that week. While it would certainly be poor news for AT&T, users who have been thinking of getting an iPhone but didn’t want to subscribe to AT&T will certainly be rejoicing. Considering that the iPhone isn’t exclusive by in France, and that seems to be helping sales, that is certainly going to be an interesting move from Apple. Carriers will certainly clamor for that phone, but the smart money would probably be on Verizon Wireless, considering the numerous rumors linking a new iPhone to Verizon. The only thing that could invent the deal sweeter would be whether Steve Jobs would announce a new iPhone along with the Apple tablet this week. That would really be Christmas come early, eh?

The French have it good as they are going to get cheaper iPhones due to Orange’s iPhone exclusivity being brought to an end ealier that year. Word has it that Orange will reduce the price of its 16GB iPhone 3GS to a mere €59 from €149, while the iPhone 3G 8GB is going at a basement price of €19. Folks who want to pick up the iPhone 3GS 32GB will still have to fork ot a rather hefty €169, making the 16GB model hit the sweet spot at duration of publishing. Each purchase will require one to sign up for an Origami Star contract that starts from €40.90 monthly.
