Gavor from FrenchiPhone could confirm earlier report of white iPhone 3GS turning "red" after having been used intensively. It does not seem that the device was overheating, as we have experienced iPhone 3G enclosure getting hotter when intensively used. Apple did not really officially communicate about this issue, but it should come in a near future as similar reports have already been posted. So it is either a production batch problem, then it will be fixed soon, or some components included in the white enclosure are turning red upon heavy thermal exposure (something not reported with the white iPhone 3G) and this is a more time-consuming issue.

As you know Apple uses NVIDIA GeForce 9400M chipset since October 2008 in MacBook and iMac. This chips did not evolve as NVIDIA has left Intel graphical chipsets in the dust. However, as one should not expect that Intel will not react, NVIDIA is preparing the successor of its Atom-dedicated GeForce 9400M (known as ION platform). Improvements should be significant as the new version should have have much faster graphics and much more shaders (at least twice more than the GF9400M). In addition the power consumption should not change as thinner engraving should help to control it.
This evolution should be available by the end of the year. Unfortunately for NVIDIA, at the same time period, Apple should have adopted the new Intel mobile architecture based on Nehalem, an entirely different hardware in which Intel did not let any third party to be involved.
Intel is surfing on its wave of success. While AMD is struggling to catch up, results of 32 nm engraving production tests are so positive that Intel might switch to this new process 3 months ahead of schedule. So, the market should be flooded with 32 nm engraved chips the Q4 2009. As thinner engraving offers more room for increasing clock speed, while controlling heat release, it also reduces production cost; only positive points for Intel and customers.
