Is this the iPhone 5? Nah, but it's the best fake we've seen so far

Is this the iPhone 5? Nah, but it's the best fake we've seen so far

Posted on Aug 15, 2011 by MG3

Okay, hold your breaths, clean your glasses and watch carefully... this may not be the iPhone 5, but it's the best fake we've seen so far. It's more than just a picture – it's a whole video claiming to be recorded from Apple's Swiss website, where the iPhone 5 page has been supposedly put on the web and accessible via a hidden link. Ridiculous? Yes. But wait until you see the skill and time invested in this footage – it includes a whole gallery of pictures allegedly showing the next-gen iPhone, but also a separate page listing its full specifications including a dual-core A5 chip and an 8-megapixel camera capable of 1080p video recording at 30fps.

Verizon disappointed that iPhone 5 didn't come out in June

Posted on Aug 15, 2011 by MG3

June had a special place in the hearts and calendars of Apple fans until this year when Cupertino broke some hearts by not announcing a new iPhone in accordance with its usual yearly routine. But Verizon and its chief financial officer were also disappointed:
"Obviously we're disappointed that the iPhone 5 didn't come out in June … we continue to prepare for it and when that comes we'll be ready," Fran Shammo shared his thoughts on a webcast this week.

Tweet from AT&T says Samsung Infuse 4G to get fed Gingerbread this month

Tweet from AT&T says Samsung Infuse 4G to get fed Gingerbread this month

Posted on Aug 15, 2011 by MG3

Just because the Samsung Infuse 4G gives you a gigantic 4.5 inch display doesn't mean that the OS aboard is the latest, most up-to-date offering from Google. After all, users of the device have had to live like cavemen with Froyo installed on their phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good for getting Adobe Flash and all, but it is not the latest and greatest build of Google's open source OS. You can imagine the suffering.

End of July we carried a rumor saying that Verizon will launch the SamsungS2 today, August 12. August 12 is still young, but I do not expect Verizon to announce anything today about the S2.
