    More Rumors About The Next iPhone Arise

    Gizmodo has a few tid-bits that have arose that point to some fancy new features that are rumored to be coming with the next iteration of Apple's iPhone.

    As the Second Coming of the JesusPhone looms over the horizon, the rumor pace starts to accelerate, with people digging in the dirt to try to get any clues about what's awaiting in this incarnation of Apple's cellphone. StuffTV is now reporting that—just like Jason wanted—Nike+ will definitely come to the iPhone in a big way, while code detectives have found strings that hint at support of Bluetooth stereo headphones, GPS support, and other iPhone seeeeeecrets...
    They go on to quote some pretty solid sources, people that have dug into the latest firmware beta code and more. That whole Nike+iPhone/iPod concept is pretty cool. It might even get my lazy ass outside again this summer to shave off some lard.

    F0ck nike! They kill thousands of people a year through child labor, unsafe disposal of pollution, human right's violations etc. I haven't bought anything Nike related for at least 5 years and don't plan to start again. I was waiting for the new iPhone to get one but I guess I'll have to re-think it if it bothers me that much. Lol sorry for ranting on your thread Craig.

    Umm, do you mind if I ask for some sources on this? Word of mouth doesn't count.

    I have a couple 12 page papers that I did on this in high school. I'll look em up and give you some sources. Probably one of the first things in school I did that meant anything. But if you just type in Nike you'll get something almost anywhere. Wiki

    Human rights concerns

    Nike has been criticized for contracting with factories in countries such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Mexico. Vietnam Labour Watch, an activist group, has documented that factories contracted by Nike have violated minimum wage and overtime laws in Vietnam as late as 1996, although Nike claims that this practice has been halted.[11] The company has been subject to much critical coverage of the often poor working conditions and exploitation of cheap overseas labor employed in the free trade zones where their goods are typically manufactured. Sources of this criticism include Naomi Klein's book No Logo and Michael Moore's documentaries.
    Nike was criticized about ads which referred to empowering women in the U.S. while engaging in practices in East Asian factories which some felt disempowered women.[12]
    In the 1990s, Nike faced criticism for use of child labour in Cambodia and Pakistan in factories it contracted to manufacture footballs (Soccer balls). Although Nike took action to curb or at least reduce the practice of child labour, they continue to contract their production to companies that operate in areas where inadequate regulation and monitoring make it hard to ensure that child labour is not being used.[13]
    These campaigns have been taken up by many college and universities, especially anti-globalisation groups as well as several anti-sweatshop groups such as the United Students Against Sweatshops.[citation needed] Despite these campaigns, however, Nike's annual revenues have increased from $6.4 billion in 1996 to nearly $17 billion in 2007, according to the company's annual reports..
