By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 27th 2009 No Comments

The Apple Tablet rumors this week have already been tenuous and, well, more tenuous, so let's throw another vaguely unbelievable tidbit into the ring. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Apple have been shopping around their tablet to Australian media companies, "in an effort to sound out whether they would be interested in delivering their content to the tablet." The paper suggests that Apple have been sending around details of the tablet's specifications; however none of the media companies themselves would talk on the record.

With the MacBook now brought smack up to date with unibody styling, and the fully metal-clad iMac causing a stir on desktops, it seems like about the right sort of time to ask what the iPhone could learn from the new designs? Happily Isamu Sanada – who you might recall from these fair pages in previous months – is one step ahead of us, and he’s put together some concept art of what an iMac-inspired fourth-gen iPhone might look like.

Apple may have told us that the new MacBook, Mac mini and iMac updates finalize their holiday 2009 line-up, but that doesn’t mean they’re not thinking ahead. Digging through the configuration files in the 10.6.2 update of OS X 10C531, Spanish site Applesana.es have spotted two references to new MacBook Pro notebooks, and believe that they might bring with them quadcore processors and ATI Radeon 4500-series graphics.

Orange UK iPhone 3GS landing November 10th

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 26th 2009 No Comments

Orange UK will begin selling the iPhone 3GS from November 10th, according to the Guardian, the day after rival carrier O2’s exclusivity agreement with Apple expires. The launch will see two UK networks offering the smartphone in the run up to the holiday period, and while you might be tempted to think that anybody who wants an iPhone probably already has one, Orange have apparently had 200,000 people register their interest in the handset already.

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 26th 2009 No Comments

Has NYT executive editor Bill Keller accidentally let slip details of Apple’s upcoming tablet? That’s the big question after video footage of the paper’s Internal Neiman Jornalism Lab leaked out, in which Keller mentions delivering journalism to “the impending Apple slate”.
