A Sprint iPhone could sell 6 million units next year, says analyst
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Extrapolating from Verizon's 11% iPhone penetration since the iPhone 4 appeared in its portfolio, Gene Muster from Piper Jaffray concludes that the rumored appearance of the next iPhone on Sprint in October could net Cupertino 6 million units sold in 2012.
Granted, Verizon was all about Android until recently, and Sprint not so much, although it does carry the latest and greatest handsets with the green robot, so the number might be even larger than this 6 million iPhones prediction.

Tablet Computer Spotted in 1968 Kubrick Classic, Cited in Samsung Case
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
It appears that the very first place one might see a tablet computer in action, at least one looking so minimalistic as an iPad, is in the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Stanley Kubrick. This movie features at least one scene in which a couple of tablets are used to compute while breakfast is being consumed by their users. What this particular scene is being used for at this very moment is so-called evidence that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet design does not use the iPad 2 for inspiration, that instead a single screen with little border surrounding it used for computing has been a common design for a “tablet” computer for quite some time.

LG, Samsung and Sharp to provide iPad 3 Retina display
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungLGSHARPAppleiPad 3
LG, Samsung and Sharp will provide Retina displays for Apple’s iPad 3, DigiTimes reported on Tuesday. In mid-July, rumors surfaced that Apple was testing Retina displays from Samsung and LG, and those rumors were confirmed days later when LG’s CEO said Apple will use its Retina LCDs in its next-generation iPad. Apple is also reportedly considering an investment of as much as $1 billion in a new Sharp factory that will be used to provide screens for its iPhone and iPad products. LG will be the largest iPad 3 LCD supplier followed by Samsung, although DigiTimes said Sharp could soon surpass the South Korea-based company as Apple’s second largest iPad 3 panel provider.

Apple granted patents for solar-powered charging, method of video navigation
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Lately, Apple's become synonymous with a flurry of hotly-contested patent disputes, but in a nice change of events, the company's actually been granted a bunch by the USPTO. The recently awarded patents range from the mundane to the utilitarian, covering designs for a customizable docking peripheral, in addition to a solar-powered solution for charging those iDevices. But the real additions to Cupertino's legal arsenal are its patents for what appears to be cover flow-like navigation for video, and display rotation for images captured via iOS cameras.

Sprint to offer iPhone 5 in October, WSJ reports
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
In line with recent analyst speculation, Sprint will offer the iPhone 5 in the “middle” of October, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, noting that the device will be sold at the same time as Apple’s current iPhone 4. That suggests that recent reports about the iPhone 4 being sold as a lower-priced option are accurate. Apple is expected to announce the successor to the iPhone 4 in September or October. The iPhone 5 is expected to be thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4 and recent reports have suggested that it will be a “bigger update” than expected. Other reports have also suggested that the device will offer an 8-megapixel camera and a dual-core processor.

Apple's A6 chip to boost speed, battery life in next iPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
Apple's next iPad will be faster and more power-efficient thanks to its new, quad-core A6 processor, but the new tablet may not be ready to ship until next June, an industry analyst said Monday.
The A6 will succeed the dual-core A5 processor used in Apple's iPad 2, said Linley Gwennap, founder and principal analyst at the Linley Group. The A6 will likely be made by chip foundry company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.), Gwennap said, citing multiple sources. The A5 is manufactured by Samsung, and Apple is embroiled in a legal dispute with that company. [Although many industry analysts have proclaimed knowledge of Apple's plans that seem suspect, Gwennap is an old hand in the sem...

Cheaper iPhone 4 version coming soon, tip suppliers of its 8GB internal memory chip
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
An 8GB internal memory flash drive is being manufactured for a cheaper version of the iPhone 4 by a Korean company, "people with knowledge on the matter" have disclosed for Reuters. The iPhone 4's 16GB and 32GB memory chips are made by Samsung and Toshiba, so that leaves Samsung as the most likely candidate.
What's the centerpiece of this rumor, though, is the fact that Apple might be indeed readying to announce another iPhone, which all indications show will be an iPhone 4 "lite" version, with less memory, and possibly plastic casing, instead of glass, in order to keep costs in check. The rumor that spurred the idea that the shell will be made of plastic, also claimed that the new phone fe...

Evernote for iOS updated with rich text support, password security
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 4
Popular note-taking service Evernote has updated its iOS app for the iPhone and iPad with a number of new features that bring it to parity with the Windows Phone and Android versions of the app. Most notably, the Evernote app for iOS now supports rich text editing and password security options.
Apparently adding rich text support to the iOS version of Evernote was not as easy as it was on other platforms, so the company is quite excited about it. With rich text editing, you can add styled text, such as bold, italicized, or underlined text, highlight existing text, add URLs, create header text, and make lists.

Apple could release newly designed Mac this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple could be adding an entirely new product to its Mac lineup that is unlike anything the company currently has on sale.
According to a post on Japanese website macotakara.jp, the Cupertino company plans something "absolutely different from current products". Macotakara did recently get things right with the iPad 2 launch in March, so the rumours could be well founded.
The new product will be given a different name to anything else in Apple's lineup, although what exactly this will be remains to be seen.
