iPhone 5 just weeks away

Over at TUAW, they've let slip some juicy gossip that the all important announcement of the iPhone 5 could in fact be just "weeks away".

According to Nick Bilton at the New York Times, an unnamed Apple employee has confirmed to him that the next-gen iPhone announcement is "just weeks away." The next-gen phone will be "fairly different from the iPhone 4." Bilton's source seems to confirm multiple rumors claiming the iPhone 5 will have a redesigned case in addition to an 8-megapixel camera and an A5 processor. It's not clear whether it will be this generation of iPhone or the following one that adds integrated support for NFC, but Bilton suggests that the wireless payment technology is a high priority for Apple's mobile strategy.

So there you have it, now we've just got to tally that up with the rest of the rumour mill...
