The OTR Global note obtained by AppleInsider claims to know of an iPhone in development with a hybrid Qualcomm chipset that will support the two normally incompatible standards. It would support UMTS-based 3G on carriers like AT&T and would presumably support EVDO-based 3G on Verizon ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/06/iphone.may.have.cdma.option.next.year/ Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:50:00 GMT Apple engineers making a flurry of China trips? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/apple.trips.may.hint.major.hardware.in.2010/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/appletablet-mockup.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple engineers are scaling up the number of trips to China to prepare for new products, a rumor indicates this evening. Visits to the Asian manufacturing base are reported by SAI as accelerating and may even include trips during the holidays. The exact nature of the trips isn't mentioned other than that at least one system integration engineer has been one of those making the trips.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/apple.trips.may.hint.major.hardware.in.2010/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:50:00 GMT Apple showing tablet specs in Australia? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/apple.pushing.media.deals.for.tablet/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/appletablet-mockup.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has been actively recruiting media producers in Australia for its rumored upcoming tablet, a claim today maintains. The American company has supposedly been giving publishers of various forms some specifications to gauge their interest in developing content formatted and sold for the device. Little is actually mentioned about the tablet itself by the Sydney Morning Herald sources, though i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/apple.pushing.media.deals.for.tablet/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:05:00 GMT NYT remarks, SIM tray leak point to Apple tablet? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/26/apple.slate.seen.as.impending/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/appletabletsim.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's plans to launch a tablet in coming months may have gained credence today through a pair of possible leaks. New York Times executive editor Bill Keller in a speech at Harvard's Nieman Journalism Lab last week included the "impending Apple slate" as one of the platforms he hopes to have carry the newspaper's content, alongside desktop, mobile web and iPhone apps.

Foxconn has reportedly been picked by Apple to make the device and, contrary to rumors of a June ship date, would ship it in early 2010.

Flip Video, known for its small, simple HD cameras such as the Flip Ultra HD, is unlikely to need a remote the size of the device itself for its cameras, so this sighting may indicate a new product for the company, such as a living room or home theater device.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/02/flip.video.remote.a.sign.of.in.home.media.hub/ Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:35:00 GMT Chinese iPhone announcement as soon as Friday? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/27/chinese.iphone.on.friday/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/iphone3gs-china.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The announcement of an China Unicom iPhone deal could arrive as soon as Friday, Reuters claims.

Interviewed by the New York Times, Lee notes that products went missing several times under Danyong's watch, although they would always return. The disappearance of a fourth-generation iPhone prototype -- immediately preceding Danyong's dea... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/27/foxconn.blames.dead.worker/ Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:05:00 GMT
