A few months back, Apple announced two adapters to add Ethernet and FireWire 800 capabilities to the machine through its Thunderbolt ports last month. While Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter was available immediately, Apple's tech specs page for the Retina MacBook Pro has listed the FireWire adapter as launching in July.

Apple now appears to be making the Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter available in its online store with a price tag of $29 and a shipping estimate of 1-3 business days.

Macrumors reported that "some users are experiencing intermittent success in viewing the new adapter in the store, with some users able to view the adapter while others simply see a "page not found" error." The issue is apparently related to caching, and all users should hopefully see the adapter shortly.

Dutch site One More Thing Reported earlier this week [Google translation] that one of its readers had sent an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook asking about the status of the adapter, with Cook replying "Tomorrow". This suggests that Apple would just barel make its July shipping estimate.

Cydia Blog has reported that it looks like appearances of "iPhone 5" cases from TVC-Mail have started to emerge, and corresponds to circulating rumours about the next generation iPhone.

The case design lines up with the many part leaks that have been floating around the web for several months. 

The appearance of these designes are not supprising given the number of leaks that we've already seen. The cases do match the circulating "iPhone 5" rumours. Which include, a slightly taller/thinner design with a smaller bottom dock connector and a bottom placed headphone jack. 

The next generation iPhone is said to be already in production for an expected fall launch.
