Over a year ago, when Skype’s iOS app was finally upgraded with the ability to work as a backgrounded app, it was a big step in the direction of untethering voice communications from the telcoms. Today marks the next big step in that direction, as both Skype’s iPhone and iPad app add Bluetooth support.

On October 7th, Sprint has a Strategy Update event scheduled that will probably be filled with talk about the next iPhone, which is rumored to be coming next month to Sprint’s network. Expect another revelation, though: insiders are now tipping that Sprint will also announce their own LTE 4G network next year, signaling the obsolescence of their existing WiMax infrastructure… and paving the way for playing host to an LTE-equipped iPhone 6.
Apple finally sent out invitations today for its next iPhone event, and everyone is wondering if we’ll see the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or both. Many are starting to feel that there will be only one iPhone unveiled this year, but that remains to be seen.
We have been seeing tons of purported iPhone 5 cases leaked from case manufacturers overseas. The reason? Apple hardware manufacturer Foxconn seems to have lost an iPhone 5 prototype.
You know who has a vacation blackout for employees in mid-October? Apple, who is ready to announce a new iPhone next week. You know who else has an employee vacation blackout for mid-October? Sprint, who — you guessed it — is widely believed to get the iPhone 5 next month.
Guess who’s following suit? Yup, AT&T. And not only are they blacking out vacations for the iPhone 5, they’ve even already got the next iPhone n their system.

Okay, not really, but we can dream. Here’s the real deal with this painting.
Foxconn workers at the company’s plant in Yantai, a city in the northeastern Shandong province, have had to evacuate the building today as another fire and possible explosion engulfed parts of the factory in smoke. Thankfully, it seems no one has been injured.
I pity the fool company who is fighting Apple’s iPhone 5 event announcement with a new product launch or software update today, but we certainly couldn’t let this pass unmentioned. In keeping with their new, more aggressive release cycle, Mozilla has just released Firefox 7 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
What’s new? Speed! Mozilla claims they’ve finally fixed Firefox’s notorious inefficiency in handling memory. Hurrah!
We mentioned this in our last story about Apple’s invites to the iPhone 5 event, but it’s worth it’s own post: Apple’s invitation to it’s “Let’s talk iPhone” event seems to sneakily confirm that Apple will only be announcing one new iPhone at next Tuesday’s event.
And…. it’s official. Apple has just sent out invites to an October 4th event at their Cupertino, California campus, starting at 10am.
There’s not much else to go on right now, short of the confirmation, but we all know what’s coming next Tuesday: the new iPhone, whether the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or both.
At this point, everyone knows that Apple’s going to unveil the new iPhone next week, which means that your window of opportunity to sell your old iPhone 4 to some sucker has pretty much closed.
Don’t fret, though. We know someone will buy your used iPhone 4 from you for a good price. If you’ve got an iPhone 4 in decent nick, NextWorth.com is promising to give you $250 for it… a $50 premium over their usual trade-in price, no questions asked.
That’s crazy. Crazy… like a fox!
Quit your worrying. That’s essentially the message coming from one Apple watcher on Wall Street following a day of hand-wringing over a report Apple had reduced by 25 percent iPad 2 orders from suppliers. Improvements in the tech giant’s supply chain and inventory still mean plenty of tablets for the anxious hordes of iPad customers.
Apple’s unveiling of the fifth-generation iPhone now looks certain to be held on October 4, but how long will we have to wait until we can actually get our own sweaty mitts on the device? According to once report, the much-anticipated iPhone 5 will arrive in the U.S., Japan, and some parts of Europe around the middle of next month.
This image of an AT&T van parked outside an Apple store in San Francisco has sparked speculation over whether or not the upcoming fifth-generation iPhone will have 4G/LTE capabilities. Why? Because that Apple store is closed for refurbishment, set to reopen on October 5 — a day after the rumored unveiling of Apple’s new iPhone — and is thought to be having AT&T’s LTE base stations installed inside

Have the salad days of Microsoft passed? Insiders say CEO Steve Ballmer was greeted with yawns at a recent annual meeting replete with reportedly “painfully flat demos and lifeless speakers.” Ballmer, who once derided the Apple iPhone market share as a ’rounding error,’ is now on the defensive, adopting the mantra “Windows Cannot Lose.”

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has flat out denied Apple the trademark for multi-touch technology. Apple detailed its revolutionary multi-touch display to the world with the original iPhone back in 2007. Apple’s trademark request was also filed at that time.
Apple wanted to trademark Multi-Touch. The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board has finally ruled that Multi-Touch has a too much of a generic meaning now, not to mention the fact that nearly every smartphone and tablet on the market uses the technology.
