We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

will make your iPhone\'s logo glow majestically, just like in the photo on the right. \n\nAccording to iPatch, the illuminated logo can be made to glow in different colors by applying filters. It glows when the screen is on; it also starts glowing when you receive a call or a message. It also does not noticeably increase battery use, nor does it increase heating of the back of the case. \n\nUnfortunately, applying this modification yourself might prove a daunting task, as it requires of how the iPhone functions \"on the circuitry level.\" The folks at iPatch will be glad to do it for you starting mid-October for an estimated price of £50-£100 ($79-$158), plus shipping. \n\n[<a href=\"http://www.ipatchonline.co.uk/iPhone_4_apple_illumination_mod.html\" >iPatch</a> via <a href=\"https://www.pcworld.com/article/239871/make_your_iphones_apple_logo_glow_with_this_mod.html\" >PC World</a>]<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/R4ydruGgtXT5TVZiTS8y8tM4qsE/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/R4ydruGgtXT5TVZiTS8y8tM4qsE/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/R4ydruGgtXT5TVZiTS8y8tM4qsE/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/R4ydruGgtXT5TVZiTS8y8tM4qsE/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=4ImhwehOk-E:FQJTUv4cB1I:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/4ImhwehOk-E\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Give Your iPhone a Glowing Logo With This Mod','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/ipatch/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/ipatch/&amp;title=Give%20Your%20iPhone%20a%20Glowing%20Logo%20With%20This%20Mod&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/ipatch/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/ipatch/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Are you annoyed by that all those MacBooks strut around with their glowing Apple logos, and their little brother, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a>, has to settle with&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15151-revision-11','','','2011-09-13 09:29:58','2011-09-13 09:29:58','',15151,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15376',0,'revision','',0),(15377,79,'2011-09-21 14:02:58','2011-09-21 14:02:58','<p>IAR has been offline for quite a while but we&#8217;re remodeling and making a comeback!

This isn\'t news -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">Sprint pretty much gave the date away</a>, canceling store employee vacation for the first two weeks of October.\n\nMeanwhile, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/09/15/new-york-times-iphone-announcement-in-weeks-yes-we-have-more/\" ><em>9to5mac</a></em>\'s sources say that two Apple phones will be launching in the near future. This fits with the rumor that Apple intends to launch a cheaper <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud-based iPhone</a> that will include prepaid plans and look similar to the iPhone 4.\n\nThe second phone, the iPhone 5, is apparently \"a sight to behold\" because it is \"impossibly light, yet much firmer than Samsung Galaxy phones.\" We\'ve heard that the new iPhone will sport a wider screen and a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-aluminum-back/\">curved aluminum back</a>, much like the iPad 2.\n\nGetting your hands on the new iPhone may be easier said than done. One of the major assembly lines for the iPhone is apparently experiencing \"continued design and production delays,\" which could result in iPhone 5 shortages well into 2012.\n\n\n<p><a

study from consulting firm Brand Finance. \n\nThe London-based company looks at a company\'s cash flow and other financial metrics to assess the worth of its trademarks and other intellectual property. At the top of the heap is Google, whose IP is worth $48.3 billion -- and likely more after Thursday, when the search giant <a href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/09/google-buys-1023-patents-from-ibm.html\" >bought</a> another treasure trove of patents from IBM. (Big Blue itself is currently in fourth place.) \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/10/26/social-media-engaged-brands/\">5 Most Engaged Brands in Social Media</a></strong></center>\n\nMicrosoft slipped to third place, a hair\'s breadth below Apple at $39 billion -- although <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-8\">Windows 8</a> may change that equation.\n\nThis marks the first time, according to the report, that the world\'s top four most valuable brands are all tech companies. Coming in just below them: Walmart, GE, AT&T and Coca-Cola. A couple of banks with slipping reputations -- Wells Fargo and Bank of America -- round out the top 10.\n\n[via <em><a

href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year. Now, it\'s experiencing similarly fast growth in Europe. \n\nAccording to comScore\'s latest report, which measures smartphone adoption rates in EU5 -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- Android has grown an amazing 16.2% between July 2010 and July 2011, which propelled it to second place on the top smartphone platform list. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/nokia/\">Nokia</a>\'s dying <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/symbian/\">Symbian</a> is still number one, but its market share has shrunk considerably in this same period, and there\'s no reason to believe this trend will change. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios/\">iOS</a> is number three on the list, with moderate growth - only 1.2% year-over-year. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/rim/\">RIM</a>\'s growth was similar to Apple\'s, and it was only enough to put its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/blackberry/\">BlackBerry</a> platform firmly in fourth place. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/microsoft/\">Microsoft</a> lost 4.8% and settled in fifth place. The Redmond giant can only find some comfort in hoping that Nokia\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-phone-7/\">Windows Phone 7</a> devices, due to start appearing on the market at the end of this year, will reverse this trend. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_comscore_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_comscore_eu5\" width=\"515\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733001\" />\n\n</center>\n\nAll of this paints quite a clear picture: In these European markets, Symbian users are mostly switching to Android devices. As Symbian\'s market share plunges toward zero, if the current trends continue, we\'ll see Android grabbing an even bigger size of the market in the near future. \n\ncomScore also has a nice breakdown of Android smartphone manufacturers\' individual market shares.

After <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/29/samsung-galaxy-tab-delayed/\">numerous</a> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/\">patent</a> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/samsung-galaxy-phones-netherlands-ban/\">lawsuits</a> from Apple, Samsung has responded with <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/22/samsung-countersues-apple/\">another</a> lawsuit of its own -- this time in France. \n\nThe Korean manufacturer claims that Apple has infringed on three of its technology patents regarding UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and \"not on the design of the tablets.\" In contrast, Apple\'s lawsuits claim that Samsung has copied the look and feel of <a href=http://mashable.com/category/iphone/%E2%80%9D>iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/mashable/apple/~3/9_OYG2LuvvU/mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad\">iPad</a> with its Galaxy and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/galaxy-tab/\">Galaxy Tab devices</a>. \n\nThe complaint was originally filed in Paris in July, and the first hearing is expected in December.\n\nThe two companies have been playing the patent lawsuit game for a while, with Apple having a lot of success banning certain variants of Samsung\'s Galaxy Tab in several countries around the world, including <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/01/apple-samsung-australia/\">Australia</a> and many <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">European countries</a>. \n\nWith Samsung filing a host of countersuits, it\'s reasonable to expect a settlement between the two companies, with Samsung probably getting a slightly shorter end of the stick. Unfortunately, the only visible result for consumers thus far is less choice when shopping for a tablet or a smartphone. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/patent-wars-infographi/\">Patent Wars: A New Age of Competition [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nAlso, check out our gallery comparing the two companies’ products below. \n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>The Original iPhone</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17161The-Original-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The Original iPhone\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone1.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung BlackJack 2 </h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17201Samsung-BlackJack-2\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung BlackJack 2 \" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/blackjack-2-att.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the smartphone Samsung was selling in 2007, the BlackJack 2.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Galaxy S</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17177Samsung-Galaxy-S\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/i9000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the Samsung Galaxy S, which debuted in 2010.</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17159The-iPhone-3G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3G\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone-3g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2008, the iPhone 3G differed only slightly from its predecessor but had a slightly different back/side-housing.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Showcase i500</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17183Samsung-Showcase-i500\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Showcase i500\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/showcase-i500.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The Samsung Showcase i500 was released in 2011 and shares similarities with the form factor and aesthetic of the iPhone 3G.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3GS</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17163The-iPhone-3GS\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3GS\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone3gs-front-back.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2009, the iPhone 3GS looks identical to the iPhone 3G, but was significantly faster under the hood.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Verizon Droid Charge</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17169Verizon-Droid-Charge\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Verizon Droid Charge\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/droid-charge.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple amended its lawsuit against Samsung to include the recently released Droid Charge in the list of infringing devices.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Sprint Epic 4G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17171Sprint-Epic-4G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Sprint Epic 4G\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/epic-4g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Sprint\'s version of the Galaxy S was the only version to include a slide-out keyboard.

This isn\'t news -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">Sprint pretty much gave the date away</a>, canceling store employee vacation for the first two weeks of October.\n\nMeanwhile, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/09/15/new-york-times-iphone-announcement-in-weeks-yes-we-have-more/\" ><em>9to5mac</a></em>\'s sources say that two Apple phones will be launching in the near future. This fits with the rumor that Apple intends to launch a cheaper <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud-based iPhone</a> that will include prepaid plans and look similar to the iPhone 4.\n\nThe second phone, the iPhone 5, is apparently \"a sight to behold\" because it is \"impossibly light, yet much firmer than Samsung Galaxy phones.\" We\'ve heard that the new iPhone will sport a wider screen and a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-aluminum-back/\">curved aluminum back</a>, much like the iPad 2.\n\nGetting your hands on the new iPhone may be easier said than done. One of the major assembly lines for the iPhone is apparently experiencing \"continued design and production delays,\" which could result in iPhone 5 shortages well into 2012.\n\n\n<p><a

<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad/\">iPad</a> won\'t hit the market until 2012, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz\'s research. \n\nAlthough several <a href=\"http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/02/09/hp-touchpad-veer-pre\" >rumors</a> pinpointed the release of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-3/\">iPad 3</a> -- a possible name for the upcoming device -- in time for the 2011 holiday season, we\'ve also seen indications that it won\'t arrive until <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/ipad-3-early-2012/\">in the new year</a>. \n\nApple announced the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-2/\">iPad 2</a> in March, 15 months after the launch of the first-generation iPad. Therefore, an early 2012 launch would be more consistent with Apple\'s product launch cycle. \n\nThere\'s always the possibility of Apple <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ipad-hd-2011-7\" >releasing</a> an iPad HD -- a device with only minor changes from the current iPad 2 -- this fall, with the next major version coming out in 2012. \n\nWhat do you expect to see from Apple this fall, the next generation iPad, a minor update or no tablet at all?

We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EanlEemQ0IDWh3ZhtPmu2IUiJMI/0/da\"><img

We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EanlEemQ0IDWh3ZhtPmu2IUiJMI/0/da\"><img

We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EanlEemQ0IDWh3ZhtPmu2IUiJMI/0/da\"><img

We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EanlEemQ0IDWh3ZhtPmu2IUiJMI/0/da\"><img

pre-market trading, after the company reported a 59% drop in its second-quarter profits and a year-over-year decline in BlackBerry shipments -- the first time that\'s happened in almost a decade.\n\nRIM shipped 10.6 million BlackBerry devices in the quarter. That compares to 12.1 million in the same period last year and 13.2 million in the previous quarter. The company also shipped just 200,000 <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/playbook\">PlayBook </a>tablets in Q2, compared to 500,000 in the first quarter. \n\nThe decline affected RIM\'s bottom line. The company posted a profit of $329 million for the quarter compared to $797 million for the same quarter in 2010. Revenues fell 10% to $4.17 billion.\n\nIn a call with analysts, the company\'s CEOs, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, <a href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904060604576573043698783336.html?mod=WSJ_Tech_LEFTTopNews\" >blamed the results</a> on customers who were waiting for the next round of BlackBerry phones. Such phones, including the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/new-blackberry-curve/\">refreshed BlackBerry Curve line</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/03/rim-five-blackberries/\">new BlackBerry Bold</a>, just became available a few weeks ago and had little effect on the Q2 results. Balsillie also told analysts that a software upgrade is planned for the PlayBook in October. RIM is expected to introduce phones based on its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/08/blackberry-colt/\">QNX OS</a> in 2012 as well.\n\nBlackBerry\'s loss of market share comes as no surprise after <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/09/android-extends-lead-us/\">various</a> analyst reports showed a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/30/android-iphone-blackberry-smartphone-stats/\">drop in consumer adoption of BlackBerry</a>. RIM\'s share of the smartphone market dropped from 25.7% to 21.7% in just three months, according to a recent report.\n\nThe following chart details RIM\'s share price performance over the last few months:\n\n<a href=\"http://ycharts.com/companies/RIMM/price#zoom=1m&format=real&outliers=true\"><img src=\"http://node_charts_production.s3.amazonaws.com/d6ab0df9b00f346488aa37be1fe194dd.png\"

<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad/\">iPad</a> won\'t hit the market until 2012, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz\'s research. \n\nAlthough several <a href=\"http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/02/09/hp-touchpad-veer-pre\" >rumors</a> pinpointed the release of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-3/\">iPad 3</a> -- a possible name for the upcoming device -- in time for the 2011 holiday season, we\'ve also seen indications that it won\'t arrive until <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/ipad-3-early-2012/\">in the new year</a>. \n\nApple announced the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-2/\">iPad 2</a> in March, 15 months after the launch of the first-generation iPad. Therefore, an early 2012 launch would be more consistent with Apple\'s product launch cycle. \n\nThere\'s always the possibility of Apple <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ipad-hd-2011-7\" >releasing</a> an iPad HD -- a device with only minor changes from the current iPad 2 -- this fall, with the next major version coming out in 2012. \n\nWhat do you expect to see from Apple this fall, the next generation iPad, a minor update or no tablet at all?

We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EanlEemQ0IDWh3ZhtPmu2IUiJMI/0/da\"><img

study from consulting firm Brand Finance. \n\nThe London-based company looks at a company\'s cash flow and other financial metrics to assess the worth of its trademarks and other intellectual property. At the top of the heap is Google, whose IP is worth $48.3 billion -- and likely more after Thursday, when the search giant <a href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/09/google-buys-1023-patents-from-ibm.html\" >bought</a> another treasure trove of patents from IBM. (Big Blue itself is currently in fourth place.) \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/10/26/social-media-engaged-brands/\">5 Most Engaged Brands in Social Media</a></strong></center>\n\nMicrosoft slipped to third place, a hair\'s breadth below Apple at $39 billion -- although <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-8\">Windows 8</a> may change that equation.\n\nThis marks the first time, according to the report, that the world\'s top four most valuable brands are all tech companies. Coming in just below them: Walmart, GE, AT&T and Coca-Cola. A couple of banks with slipping reputations -- Wells Fargo and Bank of America -- round out the top 10.\n\n[via <em><a

event Oct. 4 to announce the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a> 5, <em>All Things Digital</em> reports citing sources familiar with the matter. \n\nIf true, the launch date of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">next generation iPhone</a> is consistent with the recent wave of rumors claiming it will be released in early October. \n\n<em><a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110921/apple-to-hold-special-event-on-october-4/\" >ATD</a></em>\'s sources say that Cook will preside over the announcement -- with the help of other key executives such as Phil Schiller, who participated in such events in the past -- which would give this event even more significance. Cook must persuade the shareholders, the audience and Apple fans all over the world that he can sure-handedly take over the role of Apple CEO and company showman. And the expectations for that particular job are, simply put, enormous. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">iPhone 5: Expect Stronger Demand Than Ever [REPORT]</a></strong></center>\n\nIt is not known whether Steve Jobs, who <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/steve-jobs-resignation-letter/\">resigned</a> from the role of Apple CEO in August, will be present at the event. \n\nThe newest iPhone will reportedly be available in the few weeks following the announcements.<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

likely to mention Facebook, Apple and other competitors outside the search realm as he faces a grilling Wednesday during an antitrust Senate hearing on Capitol Hill, according to a report.\n\n<i><a href\"http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/63989.html\" >Politico</a></i>, which got an advanced copy of Schmidt\'s testimony, revealed that the former Google CEO is planning to emphasize the hyper-competitive nature of online media. \n\n\"“We aim to provide relevant answers as quickly as possible, and our product innovation and engineering talent deliver results that we believe users like, in a world where the competition is only one click away,” reads Schmidt\'s prepared statement. The Senate plans to <a href=\"http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=3d9031b47812de2592c3baeba64d93cb\" >stream the testimony</a> at 2 p.m. ET.\n\nThe emphasis on competitors is an obvious retort for Google, which is being investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee\'s antitrust subcommittee on the grounds that Google may be using its heft in search marketing to freeze out rivals. If pressed, Schmidt (pictured) is likely to point out that Google competes not only with Microsoft and Yahoo on the search front, but with Apple, Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/comScore_Media_Metrix_Ranks_Top_50_U.S._Web_Properties_for_August_2011\" >now ranked</a> number four in unique U.S. visitors with 162.4 million for August, behind Google\'s 183.4 million, according to comScore. Apple, which competes with Google on the smartphone front, claimed 75 million visitors, while Twitter had 33.9 million.\n\nAside from the competition angle, Schmidt is likely to play up Google\'s effect on the economy. The company claims to generate $64 billion in economic activity for small businesses. \n\nJonathan Rubin, an attorney with <a href=\"http://www.rubinpllc.com\" >Rubin PLLC</a> who specializes in antitrust cases, says that citing Facebook is irrelevant to the conversation. \n\n\"I don\'t see Google\'s search as a direct competition to Facebook,\" Rubin says. \"It\'s sort of semi-competition.\" \n\nNevertheless, Rubin believes the government\'s case against Google is weak since the company doesn\'t charge for its services, which takes competitive pricing off the table. Rubin says that lacking the pricing angle, the government would have to make the case that Google is sabotaging rival services like Bing. Successfully arguing that Google is favoring its own properties is even murkier ground, Rubin says, since Google\'s search product hinges on providing the best results and being an \"honest broker\" (a.k.a. disinterested intermediary). That case, which the government will advance with testimony from the CEOs of Yelp and NexTag, is also not a clear-cut violation of antitrust laws, Rubin says. \n\n<i>Image courtesy of Flickr, <a

wp-image-669799\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>So it seems <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">we may finally know the day</a> Apple CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/tim-cook/\">Tim Cook</a> will unveil the iPhone 5 and the lower-cost phones that will likely accompany it: Tuesday, Oct. 4. What we don\'t know is when you\'ll actually be able to pick one up. \n\nOne date is almost certainly out: <strong>Tuesday, Oct. 4</strong>. Even if Apple could overcome the logistical hurdle of getting all its phones ready on the day of the announcement, that\'s just not the company\'s style. Its world-class marketing mandarins and PR mavens know all too well the value of building anticipation. There needs to be enough time to get people camping overnight outside Apple stores, for one thing. And this year, if <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">early polling is any indication</a>, the lines could be longer than ever.\n\nSo how much longer will we have to wait? <em><a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110921/apple-to-hold-special-event-on-october-4/\" >AllThingsD</a></em>, the outlet that leaked the announcement news from its gold-plated Apple sources, suggests the phones will go on sale \"within a few weeks.\" That would put launch day somewhere between <strong>Wednesday, Oct. 5</strong>, and <strong>Tuesday, Oct. 18</strong>. However, as <em><a href=\"http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/09/21/if-iphone-5-is-unveiled-oct-4-when-will-it-go-on-sale/\" >Apple 2.0</a></em> points out, iOS device launches seem to be getting closer and closer to the announcement date. The iPhone 4 took 17 days to make it to stores, but the iPad 2 was there in just nine days. \n\nSo if we\'re on the iPad 2 schedule, expect to see the iPhone 5 in stores on <strong>Thursday, Oct. 13</strong>. But there are plenty of reasons to think it might arrive earlier. Remember the leaked Sprint announcement <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">blacking out vacation time</a> for store employees in the first two weeks of October? It would be odd if Sprint were to go to that trouble, only to allow employees to take time off after the first two business days of heavy iPhone 5-based foot traffic.\n\nThat\'s one reason why we\'re sticking with the U.S. sale date we <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">predicted two weeks ago</a>: <strong>Friday, Oct. 7</strong>. Yes, it\'s only four days after the announcement event, but bear with us. All indications are that Apple has coordinated this launch more closely than ever with its retail and carrier partners, hence the plethora of leaks from <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">Sprint</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">Best Buy</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">AT&T</a>, among others. And with all eyes on Tim Cook\'s first product unveiling, what better way for him to wow the crowd than to tell them they can get their hands on their object of desire at the end of the week? (That would fit Cook\'s brand, too: he\'s renowned as a maestro of inventory management.)\n\nFriday launch dates seem to work well for Apple (see the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-now-available/\">iPad 2 launch</a>); it can take advantage of the fact that relatively little tech news drops on a Friday, as well as the here-comes-the-weekend carnival atmosphere. Just as long as the company doesn\'t encourage <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/16/friday-gone/\">Rebecca Black</a> to take any part in the festivities, we\'re fine with that.\n\nWant to play the iPhone 5 launch date game?

At the top of the heap is Google, whose IP is worth $48.3 billion -- and likely more after Thursday, when the search giant <a href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/09/google-buys-1023-patents-from-ibm.html\" >bought</a> another treasure trove of patents from IBM.

Coming in just below them: Walmart, GE, AT&T and Coca-Cola. A couple of banks with slipping reputations -- Wells Fargo and Bank of America -- round out the top 10.\n\n[via <em><a

make it a difficult device to find?\n\nApple is expected to hold a press event to unveil its next-generation smartphone in the next few weeks, <a href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/alleged-iphone-5-images-begin-to-surface-online/\" ><em>The New York Times</em></a> is reporting. This isn\'t news -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">Sprint pretty much gave the date away</a>, canceling store employee vacation for the first two weeks of October.\n\nMeanwhile, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/09/15/new-york-times-iphone-announcement-in-weeks-yes-we-have-more/\" ><em>9to5mac</a></em>\'s sources say that two Apple phones will be launching in the near future. This fits with the rumor that Apple intends to launch a cheaper <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud-based iPhone</a> that will include prepaid plans and look similar to the iPhone 4.\n\nThe second phone, the iPhone 5, is apparently \"a sight to behold\" because it is \"impossibly light, yet much firmer than Samsung Galaxy phones.\" We\'ve heard that the new iPhone will sport a wider screen and a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-aluminum-back/\">curved aluminum back</a>, much like the iPad 2.\n\nGetting your hands on the new iPhone may be easier said than done. One of the major assembly lines for the iPhone is apparently experiencing \"continued design and production delays,\" which could result in iPhone 5 shortages well into 2012.\n\n\n<p><a

gloom? That\'s certainly not the case with the leak of an internal memo from Sprint management, which seems to suggest the iPhone 5 will be launching -- on Sprint, as well as Verizon and AT&T -- in the first half of October.\n\nThe memo, <a href=\"http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/09/internal-memo-suggests-sprint-iphone-by-october-15th/\" >obtained by <em>SprintFeed</em></a>, reads: \"due to the possibility of a major phone launch in October we are blacking out September 30th through October 15th.\" In other words, batten down the hatches. No Sprint employee is leaving the store in the first two weeks of October. Something big is coming down the pike. \n\nBear in mind that we\'ve <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/sprint-to-get-iphone-5/\">seen reports since late August</a> that Sprint will be a launch partner for Apple\'s iPhone 5. Best Buy inadvertently confirmed that last weekend, via <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">a leaked document</a> that claimed the Sprint iPhone 5 would be available in the first week of October. And early Friday <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">came word</a> that Sprint\'s unlimited data plan would be available on the iPhone 5 as well as other Sprint phones -- making the number 3 carrier a serious competitor in the iPhone 5 stakes. \n\nOur best guess for the iPhone 5 launch date is still Friday October 7. That lines up with the Best Buy report, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">another leak</a> from an AT&T executive, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/08/16/apple-currently-plans-to-start-pre-orders-for-next-iphone-on-sept-30-launch-oct-7/\" >another report</a> from <em>9to5Mac</em> -- and it\'s smack dab in the middle of Sprint\'s blackout period. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/KnmZkU2gL_w\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Cancels Store Leave, Confirms iPhone 5 Launch Window [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;title=Sprint%20Cancels%20Store%20Leave,%20Confirms%20iPhone%205%20Launch%20Window%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Remember when a company memo telling employees they can\'t take any time off in a two-week period was an occasion for gloom?

members.\n\nTraditionally (and currently, for the most part), in-flight customer service is managed using a \"long scroll of paper, listing up to 337 customers,\" the company\'s <a href=\"http://press.ba.com/?p=1881\" >announcement</a> says.\n\nThe iPads will mitigate the need for paper seating charts and will give flight attendants more information about individual travelers. And because British Airways flights are equipped with wireless 3G networks, the information stored on the devices can be updated mid-flight.\n\nOne hundred crew members have tested the iPads and have given positive reviews. The company aims to distribute iPads to all senior crew members across the airline in the coming months.\n\nAirlines are becoming increasingly tech savvy on the consumer end -- offering <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/02/01/airlines-free-facebook/\">free in-flight Facebook access</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/29/delta-living-social/\">LivingSocial deals</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/foursquare-gogo-badge/\">Foursquare tie-ins</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/10/case-against-social-media-department-infographic/\">social media customer service</a> to travelers -- but British Airways\' move to focus on enhancing its flight crew\'s access to tech gadgets is a less common step in the right direction.\n\n<em>Image courtesy of

href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/samsung/\">Samsung</a> already plans to try to ban its sales in Korea, the <em>Korea Times</em> <a href=\"http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2011/09/133_94958.html\" >reports</a> citing unnamed industry sources.\n\nThe legal battle between the two companies has been raging for months, with Apple managing to ban the sales of Samsung\'s Galaxy Tab as well as some variants of the Galaxy S smartphone in several countries, including the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/samsung-galaxy-phones-netherlands-ban/\">Netherlands</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/29/samsung-galaxy-tab-delayed/\">Australia</a>. \n\nThe companies also sued each other in Korea: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/24/apple-samsung-lawsuit-south-korea/\">Apple</a> on the grounds of Samsung copying the iPhone and iPad product range, while Samsung\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/22/samsung-countersues-apple/\">countersuit</a> has been more technology-based.\n\n\"For as long as Apple does not drop mobile telecommunications functions, it would be impossible for it to sell its i-branded products without using our patents. We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights,\" said a senior Samsung executive. \n\nFor now, Apple is winning the patent lawsuit war, but the next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. If Samsung should manage to delay its launch -- even only in Korea -- it would be a nasty setback for Apple. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

wp-image-669799\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>So it seems <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">we may finally know the day</a> Apple CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/tim-cook/\">Tim Cook</a> will unveil the iPhone 5 and the lower-cost phones that will likely accompany it: Tuesday, Oct. 4. What we don\'t know is when you\'ll actually be able to pick one up. \n\nOne date is almost certainly out: <strong>Tuesday, Oct. 4</strong>. Even if Apple could overcome the logistical hurdle of getting all its phones ready on the day of the announcement, that\'s just not the company\'s style. Its world-class marketing mandarins and PR mavens know all too well the value of building anticipation. There needs to be enough time to get people camping overnight outside Apple stores, for one thing. And this year, if <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">early polling is any indication</a>, the lines could be longer than ever.\n\nSo how much longer will we have to wait? <em><a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110921/apple-to-hold-special-event-on-october-4/\" >AllThingsD</a></em>, the outlet that leaked the announcement news from its gold-plated Apple sources, suggests the phones will go on sale \"within a few weeks.\" That would put launch day somewhere between <strong>Wednesday, Oct. 5</strong>, and <strong>Tuesday, Oct. 18</strong>. However, as <em><a href=\"http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/09/21/if-iphone-5-is-unveiled-oct-4-when-will-it-go-on-sale/\" >Apple 2.0</a></em> points out, iOS device launches seem to be getting closer and closer to the announcement date. The iPhone 4 took 17 days to make it to stores, but the iPad 2 was there in just nine days. \n\nSo if we\'re on the iPad 2 schedule, expect to see the iPhone 5 in stores on <strong>Thursday, Oct. 13</strong>. But there are plenty of reasons to think it might arrive earlier. Remember the leaked Sprint announcement <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">blacking out vacation time</a> for store employees in the first two weeks of October? It would be odd if Sprint were to go to that trouble, only to allow employees to take time off after the first two business days of heavy iPhone 5-based foot traffic.\n\nThat\'s one reason why we\'re sticking with the U.S. sale date we <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">predicted two weeks ago</a>: <strong>Friday, Oct. 7</strong>. Yes, it\'s only four days after the announcement event, but bear with us. All indications are that Apple has coordinated this launch more closely than ever with its retail and carrier partners, hence the plethora of leaks from <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">Sprint</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">Best Buy</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">AT&T</a>, among others. And with all eyes on Tim Cook\'s first product unveiling, what better way for him to wow the crowd than to tell them they can get their hands on their object of desire at the end of the week? (That would fit Cook\'s brand, too: he\'s renowned as a maestro of inventory management.)\n\nFriday launch dates seem to work well for Apple (see the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-now-available/\">iPad 2 launch</a>); it can take advantage of the fact that relatively little tech news drops on a Friday, as well as the here-comes-the-weekend carnival atmosphere. Just as long as the company doesn\'t encourage <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/16/friday-gone/\">Rebecca Black</a> to take any part in the festivities, we\'re fine with that.\n\nWant to play the iPhone 5 launch date game?

beloved due to their addictive and thought-provoking qualities. But every now and again, there comes along a genre-shaking game that just blows me away. Everlands, developed by Hexage.net, is one example.</p>\n<p>Everlands’s basic plot revolves around the evil spirits taking control of animals, and the brave plethora of creatures that must come together to stop the evil and cleanse their possessed brethren. While this more juvenile, lighthearted storyline seems out of place in a genre filled with macho heroes, futuristic weaponry and vehicular combat, it blends nicely into the game and serves as a much welcomed change of pace.<br />\n<span id=\"more-13431\"></span></p>\n<p>In Everlands, you and your opponent take turns placing animals on the hexagonal board. Each animal has a certain amount of life and attack points, but can only attack out of certain sides. After attacking, the animal cannot attack out of that side again for the rest of the match. When an animal loses all life points, it will change alignments, resetting all life points but not attack sides.</p>\n<p>Each species has varying amounts of life and attack points, as well as a unique special ability. For example, the intimidating Tiger is able to reduce the attack points of all adjacent enemy animals, while the prickly Hedgehog is able to attack on almost all sides. Everlands is super easy to play, with the bonus of  shorter tutorials, but adds just the right amount of depth to avoid being simplistic and dull.</p>\n<p>In order to complete a stage, you must have possession of more than 50% of the board with your creatures. If you are victorious, you unlock another animal to add to your arsenal. While the story mode starts off easy, the difficulty quickly ramps up as you learn to synergize your animal’s abilities and weaknesses together. However, the story mode is rather short, and with the conclusion of the game you are left little replay value. Perhaps in a effort to combat this, Everlands also features a two-player duel mode where you can square off against a friend using the same device.</p>\n<p>Everlands is able to simultaneously pay homage to strategy game and casual game principles, making it a blast to play. Everlands is a must-own game if you’re a lover of strategy games, or just have the desire for a great game. Hexage.net builds on a classic hexic strategy game with its own unique quirks and twists, creating a game that shouldn’t be missed.</p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/zCN2LEUlYgc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/zCN2LEUlYgc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/everlands/id379118021?mt=8&amp;uo=4\">iTunes Link &#8211; Everlands</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/hexage-net/id317379085?uo=4\">Developer Link &#8211; Hexage.net</a></p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/iPhoneAppReviews/~4/UaImpM5s8qQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','App Review: Everlands','Turn-based strategy games are quite popular on the App Store, beloved due to their addictive and thought-provoking qualities.

wp-image-669799\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>So it seems <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">we may finally know the day</a> Apple CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/tim-cook/\">Tim Cook</a> will unveil the iPhone 5 and the lower-cost phones that will likely accompany it: Tuesday, Oct. 4. What we don\'t know is when you\'ll actually be able to pick one up. \n\nOne date is almost certainly out: <strong>Tuesday, Oct. 4</strong>. Even if Apple could overcome the logistical hurdle of getting all its phones ready on the day of the announcement, that\'s just not the company\'s style. Its world-class marketing mandarins and PR mavens know all too well the value of building anticipation. There needs to be enough time to get people camping overnight outside Apple stores, for one thing. And this year, if <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">early polling is any indication</a>, the lines could be longer than ever.\n\nSo how much longer will we have to wait? <em><a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110921/apple-to-hold-special-event-on-october-4/\" >AllThingsD</a></em>, the outlet that leaked the announcement news from its gold-plated Apple sources, suggests the phones will go on sale \"within a few weeks.\" That would put launch day somewhere between <strong>Wednesday, Oct. 5</strong>, and <strong>Tuesday, Oct. 18</strong>. However, as <em><a href=\"http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/09/21/if-iphone-5-is-unveiled-oct-4-when-will-it-go-on-sale/\" >Apple 2.0</a></em> points out, iOS device launches seem to be getting closer and closer to the announcement date. The iPhone 4 took 17 days to make it to stores, but the iPad 2 was there in just nine days. \n\nSo if we\'re on the iPad 2 schedule, expect to see the iPhone 5 in stores on <strong>Thursday, Oct. 13</strong>. But there are plenty of reasons to think it might arrive earlier. Remember the leaked Sprint announcement <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">blacking out vacation time</a> for store employees in the first two weeks of October? It would be odd if Sprint were to go to that trouble, only to allow employees to take time off after the first two business days of heavy iPhone 5-based foot traffic.\n\nThat\'s one reason why we\'re sticking with the U.S. sale date we <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">predicted two weeks ago</a>: <strong>Friday, Oct. 7</strong>. Yes, it\'s only four days after the announcement event, but bear with us. All indications are that Apple has coordinated this launch more closely than ever with its retail and carrier partners, hence the plethora of leaks from <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">Sprint</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">Best Buy</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">AT&T</a>, among others. And with all eyes on Tim Cook\'s first product unveiling, what better way for him to wow the crowd than to tell them they can get their hands on their object of desire at the end of the week? (That would fit Cook\'s brand, too: he\'s renowned as a maestro of inventory management.)\n\nFriday launch dates seem to work well for Apple (see the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-now-available/\">iPad 2 launch</a>); it can take advantage of the fact that relatively little tech news drops on a Friday, as well as the here-comes-the-weekend carnival atmosphere. Just as long as the company doesn\'t encourage <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/16/friday-gone/\">Rebecca Black</a> to take any part in the festivities, we\'re fine with that.\n\nWant to play the iPhone 5 launch date game?

doled out in two tranches -- $100 million this year and then the rest in 2012, <a href=\"http://www.emarketer.com/blog/index.php/stat-day-mobile-ad-spending-reach-11-billion-2011/\" >according to SoftBank</a>. SoftBank joins Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sherpalo Ventures in backing InMobi. \n\nWith the investment, the Bangalore, India-based InMobi will have more ammunition to take on Google, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/11/09/google-acquires-admob/\">bought AdMob</a>, another mobile ad network, in 2009 for $750 million, and Apple, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/01/04/apple-quattro-wireless/\">bought Quattro Wireless</a> in early 2010 for $275 million.  \n\nDespite the investment, mobile advertising is still a fairly small market. The total spend for such advertising is projected to hit $1.1 billion in the U.S. this year, <a href=\"http://www.emarketer.com/blog/index.php/stat-day-mobile-ad-spending-reach-11-billion-2011/\" >according to eMarketer</a>. That spend will hit $2.5 billion in 2014, the researcher estimates.\n\n<em>Image courtesy of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.istockphoto.com/mashableoffer.php\" >iStockphoto</a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.istockphoto.com/user_view.php?id=555372\" >webphotographeer</a></em><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=O8tWzDKgfT8:U0lnJyXYH20:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/O8tWzDKgfT8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Mobile Ad Network InMobi Raises $200 Million','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/inmobi-raises-200m/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/inmobi-raises-200m/&amp;title=Mobile%20Ad%20Network%20InMobi%20Raises%20$200%20Million&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/inmobi-raises-200m/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/inmobi-raises-200m/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Mobile ad network InMobi has raised $200 million in financing from SoftBank to counter Apple and Google in the fast-growing market.\nThe investme&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15264-revision-2','','','2011-09-15 14:26:43','2011-09-15 14:26:43','',15264,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15271',0,'revision','',0),(15272,66,'2011-09-15 20:08:26','2011-09-15 20:08:26','<div><div style=\"float:right;margin-bottom:10px;\"><a  href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/\"><img style=\"border:none;margin-right:5px;\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/themes/v7/img/share-buttons/stumbleupon.png\" align=\"right\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/&title=Apple%20Becomes%20World&#8217;s%20Second%20Most%20Valuable%20Brand%20&%238212;%20After%20Google%20%5BSTUDY%5D&related=true&style=true\"><img style=\"border:none;margin-right:5px;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/themes/v7/img/share-buttons/diggme.png\" align=\"right\" /></a>\n<a  type=\"box_count\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/&src=sp\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><img style=\"border:none;margin-right:5px;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/themes/v7/img/share-buttons/fb.jpg\" align=\"right\" /></a>\n<a  href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/&service=bit.ly&source=mashable\"><img style=\"border:none;margin-right:5px;\" width=\"51\" height=\"61\" src=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/\" align=\"right\"/></a></div><div style=\"float:left;margin-bottom:10px;\"><img src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/apple_logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"apple_logo\" width=\"275\" height=\"\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-505173\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple\">Apple</a>\'s brand is worth $39.3 billion, or 33% more than it was at the start of the year, according to a study from consulting firm Brand Finance. \n\nThe London-based company looks at a company\'s cash flow and other financial metrics to assess the worth of its trademarks and other intellectual property. At the top of the heap is Google, whose IP is worth $48.3 billion -- and likely more after Thursday, when the search giant <a href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/09/google-buys-1023-patents-from-ibm.html\" >bought</a> another treasure trove of patents from IBM.

solid reason to use its services this fall -- an unlimited data plan for the iPhone 5.\n\nSprint will become the U.S.\'s only wireless carrier to offer unlimited data for the iPhone 5, <a href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-09/sprint-is-said-to-plan-unlimited-data-with-iphone-5-to-stand-out-from-pack.html\" ><em>Bloomberg</em></a> reports, citing \"people familiar with the matter.\" Details about pricing were not disclosed. Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market. But Sprint and its investors have lately had reason to be optimistic. In addition to getting the iPhone, Sprint is also seen as a beneficiary of the Justice Department\'s lawsuit to block the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/31/u-s-seeks-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger-report//\">AT&T/T-Mobile merger</a>. \n\nHowever, you may want to take the report with a grain of salt: A similar rumor <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/25/verizon-iphone-data-plan/\">surfaced</a> before Verizon got the iPhone, which never came to pass. \n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

sushi -- of all things -- may have been taken by Apple\'s next-generation iPhone.\n\nThe photo would be one of the first <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5\">iPhone 5</a> photos to reach the public as the device\'s launch approaches.\n\nThe photo, titled \"lunch\" and discovered by <a href=\"http://pocketnow.com/iphone/iphone-5-first-test-photo\" ><em>PocketNow</em></a>, was found on the Flickr account of Apple software engineer Anton D\'Auria. While the photo looks like a simple plate of sushi, its EXIF data reveals that there is more to this photo than meets the eye.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/02/iphone-5-rumors-3/\">iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nThe EXIF data says the photo was taken with an iPhone 4, but several things don\'t fit with what we know about that version of the iPhone. First, the original picture was taken with a 3264x2448 pixel resolution (approximately 8 megapixels) and cropped to 2235x2291 (approximately 5 megapixels). The iPhone 4 is a 5 megapixel device, so it wouldn\'t be capable of taking a 3264x2448 photo. \n\nThe second piece of evidence is that the photo was taken with a 4.3mm f/2.4 lens. The iPhone 4 has a 3.85mm f/2.8 lens.\n\nThe photo was also likely taken at Apple HQ. Its GPS data pinpoints the photo\'s origin to 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA -- which, as every geek knows, happens to be the address of Apple headquarters.\n\nD\'Auria\'s Flickr account has since been made private, but the image is already widely available online. While it\'s possible the image is a fake (EXIF data can be altered rather easily), we doubt an Apple engineer would make so many EXIF changes to an iPhone 4 picture. If the photo is indeed from an iPhone 5, expect an 8MP camera with the quality of a point-and-shoot on iPhones in the next month or so. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tech/\">Tech &amp; Gadgets</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashabletech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Tech &amp; Gadgets on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Tech &amp; Gadgets channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/NlzL-XIK2hg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5 Sushi Snap?

Power and Associates. \n\nIt\'s the sixth time in a row the Cupertino giant has topped this survey. Apple scored 838 points with great marks in all areas, particularly ease of operation and features. \n\nHTC came in second, followed by Samsung, Motorola and RIM. With only 721 points, Nokia\'s performance was particularly poor, even finishing behind the now defunct Palm.\n\nThe <a href=\"http://www.jdpower.com/news/pressRelease.aspx?ID=2011146\" >report</a> reveals customers have a sweet spot for almost every physical characteristic of their smartphone.

Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market. But Sprint and its investors have lately had reason to be optimistic. In addition to getting the iPhone, Sprint is also seen as a beneficiary of the Justice Department\'s lawsuit to block the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/31/u-s-seeks-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger-report//\">AT&T/T-Mobile merger</a>. \n\nHowever, you may want to take the report with a grain of salt: A similar rumor <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/25/verizon-iphone-data-plan/\">surfaced</a> before Verizon got the iPhone, which never came to pass. \n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

Samsung released its first tablet, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-2/\">Galaxy Tab</a>, in September 2010. Though the product had positive reviews when it launched, more than one in 10 purchasers <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/02/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-returns/\">returned the device</a> within a month. Samsung remade the device as the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/22/galaxy-tabs/\">Galaxy Tab 10.1</a>. \n\nThat product, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-nyc/\">hit U.S. stores in June</a>, has been the subject of an Apple patent infringement lawsuit in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">Europe</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/01/apple-samsung-australia/\">Australia</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/\">Japan</a>. After some back and forth with Dusseldorf District Court in Germany, the device was <a href=\"http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20103827-17/samsung-galaxy-tab-10.1-banned-from-sale-in-germany/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20\" >banned for sale in Germany</a>, but is still available in the rest of Europe.\n\nMicrosoft is expected to show off a new version of Windows for tablet PCs at the conference next week, according to <a href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/08/us-microsoft-tablets-idUSTRE78708X20110908\" >Reuters</a>. So far, the tablet market has been especially frustrating for Microsoft. The company has been showing off tablet PC OSes for about a decade but is yet to make serious traction. Meanwhile, Apple has been so successful with the iPad that it\'s being <a href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/08/blame-the-ipad-for-slow-pc-sales/?ref=technology\" >blamed for the slowdown in PC sales</a>.\n\n<hr>\nCheck out our gallery comparing Apple and Samsung\'s products involved in the patent cases. \n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>The Original iPhone</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17161The-Original-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The Original iPhone\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone1.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung BlackJack 2 </h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17201Samsung-BlackJack-2\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung BlackJack 2 \" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/blackjack-2-att.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the smartphone Samsung was selling in 2007, the BlackJack 2.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Galaxy S</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17177Samsung-Galaxy-S\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/i9000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the Samsung Galaxy S, which debuted in 2010.</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17159The-iPhone-3G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3G\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone-3g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2008, the iPhone 3G differed only slightly from its predecessor but had a slightly different back/side-housing.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Showcase i500</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17183Samsung-Showcase-i500\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Showcase i500\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/showcase-i500.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The Samsung Showcase i500 was released in 2011 and shares similarities with the form factor and aesthetic of the iPhone 3G.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3GS</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17163The-iPhone-3GS\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3GS\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone3gs-front-back.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2009, the iPhone 3GS looks identical to the iPhone 3G, but was significantly faster under the hood.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Verizon Droid Charge</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17169Verizon-Droid-Charge\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Verizon Droid Charge\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/droid-charge.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple amended its lawsuit against Samsung to include the recently released Droid Charge in the list of infringing devices.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Sprint Epic 4G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/samsung-tablet-windows/#17171Sprint-Epic-4G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Sprint Epic 4G\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/epic-4g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Sprint\'s version of the Galaxy S was the only version to include a slide-out keyboard.

customer satisfaction, according to a new survey by J.D. Power and Associates. \n\nIt\'s the sixth time in a row the Cupertino giant has topped this survey. Apple scored 838 points with great marks in all areas, particularly ease of operation and features. \n\nHTC came in second, followed by Samsung, Motorola and RIM. With only 721 points, Nokia\'s performance was particularly poor, even finishing behind the now defunct Palm.\n\nThe <a href=\"http://www.jdpower.com/news/pressRelease.aspx?ID=2011146\" >report</a> reveals customers have a sweet spot for almost every physical characteristic of their smartphone. For example, smartphones under 5 ounces are preferred over heavier ones. Overall, the key factors for evaluating smartphones are performance (35%), ease of operation (24%), features (21%) and physical design (20%). \n\nThe study also points out customers\' appreciation of 4G connectivity. \n\nWhat are the most important features of a smartphone for you?

That\'s certainly not the case with the leak of an internal memo from Sprint management, which seems to suggest the iPhone 5 will be launching -- on Sprint, as well as Verizon and AT&T -- in the first half of October.\n\nThe memo, <a href=\"http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/09/internal-memo-suggests-sprint-iphone-by-october-15th/\" >obtained by <em>SprintFeed</em></a>, reads: \"due to the possibility of a major phone launch in October we are blacking out September 30th through October 15th.\" In other words, batten down the hatches. No Sprint employee is leaving the store in the first two weeks of October. Something big is coming down the pike. \n\nBear in mind that we\'ve <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/sprint-to-get-iphone-5/\">seen reports since late August</a> that Sprint will be a launch partner for Apple\'s iPhone 5. Best Buy inadvertently confirmed that last weekend, via <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">a leaked document</a> that claimed the Sprint iPhone 5 would be available in the first week of October. And early Friday <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">came word</a> that Sprint\'s unlimited data plan would be available on the iPhone 5 as well as other Sprint phones -- making the number 3 carrier a serious competitor in the iPhone 5 stakes. \n\nOur best guess for the iPhone 5 launch date is still Friday October 7. That lines up with the Best Buy report, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">another leak</a> from an AT&T executive, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/08/16/apple-currently-plans-to-start-pre-orders-for-next-iphone-on-sept-30-launch-oct-7/\" >another report</a> from <em>9to5Mac</em> -- and it\'s smack dab in the middle of Sprint\'s blackout period. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tech/\">Tech &amp; Gadgets</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashabletech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Tech &amp; Gadgets on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Tech &amp; Gadgets channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/KnmZkU2gL_w\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Cancels Store Leave, Confirms iPhone 5 Launch Window [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;title=Sprint%20Cancels%20Store%20Leave,%20Confirms%20iPhone%205%20Launch%20Window%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Remember when a company memo telling employees they can&#8217;t take any time off in a two-week period was an occasion for gloom?

Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market. But Sprint and its investors have lately had reason to be optimistic. In addition to getting the iPhone, Sprint is also seen as a beneficiary of the Justice Department\'s lawsuit to block the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/31/u-s-seeks-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger-report//\">AT&T/T-Mobile merger</a>. \n\nHowever, you may want to take the report with a grain of salt: A similar rumor <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/25/verizon-iphone-data-plan/\">surfaced</a> before Verizon got the iPhone, which never came to pass. \n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

solid reason to use its services this fall -- an unlimited data plan for the iPhone 5.\n\nSprint will become the U.S.\'s only wireless carrier to offer unlimited data for the iPhone 5, <a href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-09/sprint-is-said-to-plan-unlimited-data-with-iphone-5-to-stand-out-from-pack.html\" ><em>Bloomberg</em></a> reports, citing \"people familiar with the matter.\" Details about pricing were not disclosed. Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market. But Sprint and its investors have lately had reason to be optimistic. In addition to getting the iPhone, Sprint is also seen as a beneficiary of the Justice Department\'s lawsuit to block the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/31/u-s-seeks-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger-report//\">AT&T/T-Mobile merger</a>. \n\nHowever, you may want to take the report with a grain of salt: A similar rumor <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/25/verizon-iphone-data-plan/\">surfaced</a> before Verizon got the iPhone, which never came to pass. \n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

5</a> release, and the runaway success of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-2/\">iPad 2</a>, may make it seem like Apple is entirely focused on its iOS devices these days. \n\nBut the company\'s Mac division is no slouch, either. \n\nAccording to the latest figures from research firm NPD, Macbooks, Mac Minis and iMacs had a really strong summer, with sales rising 22% in July and August. Based on those figures, Gene Munster -- a veteran Apple analyst at Piper Jaffray -- released a short note predicting Apple will sell a total of 4.5 million Macs this quarter. (And that\'s a conservative estimate, based on the notion sales will slow to 16% growth for the quarter overall.)\n\nTo put that in perspective, Apple sold 4.1 million Macs during the 2010 holiday quarter -- traditionally the strongest time of year. That marks the company\'s previous all-time, one-quarter record.\n\nWhat\'s driving all the sales? In part, they represent a roaring start for Lion, the latest version of OS X, which came out in July and is packed with more cool, new features than the average OS X upgrade. On its first day of release, Lion -- which is only available online or pre-installed in new Macs -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/21/os-x-lion-downloads/\">saw an incredible one million downloads</a>. That made it more popular than any previous Apple desktop operating system.\n\nTimed to the Lion release, Apple also launched updated versions of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-launches-new-macbook-air/\">MacBook Air</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/new-mac-mini-2011/\">Mac mini</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-thunderbolt-display/\">Apple Cinema Display</a>.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/lion-clean-install-guide/\">HOW TO: Do a Clean Install of OS X Lion</a></strong>\n\n</center>\n\nThings should naturally quiet down a bit in the Mac section of Apple stores as Lion gets a little longer in the tooth. On the other hand, nobody knows how much foot traffic the iPhone 5 launch will bring into stores next month -- or how many customers might pick up a laptop or a Mini while they\'re there. \n\nBut it seems a fair bet that the passing of the baton from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook has not slowed the juggernaut that is Apple -- just as <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/25/why-apple-wont-change/\">we predicted</a>. \n\n<em>[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/12/apple_on_pace_to_sell_record_4_5m_macs_this_quarter.html\" >Apple Insider</a>]</em>\n\n\n<p><a

gloom? That\'s certainly not the case with the leak of an internal memo from Sprint management, which seems to suggest the iPhone 5 will be launching -- on Sprint, as well as Verizon and AT&T -- in the first half of October.\n\nThe memo, <a href=\"http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/09/internal-memo-suggests-sprint-iphone-by-october-15th/\" >obtained by <em>SprintFeed</em></a>, reads: \"due to the possibility of a major phone launch in October we are blacking out September 30th through October 15th.\" In other words, batten down the hatches. No Sprint employee is leaving the store in the first two weeks of October.

But don\'t let that fool you into thinking they\'re cool, says Martin Fichter, acting president of HTC America. \n\nSpeaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter -- pictured above with bicycle -- related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he took an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. \"None of them has an iPhone,\" Fichter said, \"because they told me: \'My dad has an iPhone.\' There’s an interesting thing that’s going on in the market. The iPhone becomes a little less cool than it was. They were carrying HTCs. They were carrying Samsungs. They were even carrying some Chinese manufacturer\'s devices.\" \n\nAdded Fichter: \"Macbook Airs are cool. iPhones are not that cool anymore. We here are using iPhones, but our kids don’t find them that cool anymore.”\n\nHTC has been making some aggressive moves in the market of late. Currently, the manufacturer uses Android and Windows Phone 7 for its operating systems; earlier Monday, its CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/htc-purchase-mobile-os/\">suggested in an interview</a> that he was looking around for other mobile OS options, so that the company isn\'t so reliant on software from Google or Microsoft; this despite the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/htc-motorola-google/\">pro-Android stance that HTC took</a> in the wake of the Google-Motorola deal. HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone?

Based on those figures, Gene Munster -- a veteran Apple analyst at Piper Jaffray -- released a short note predicting Apple will sell a total of 4.5 million Macs this quarter. (And that\'s a conservative estimate, based on the notion sales will slow to 16% growth for the quarter overall.)\n\nTo put that in perspective, Apple sold 4.1 million Macs during the 2010 holiday quarter -- traditionally the strongest time of year. That marks the company\'s previous all-time, one-quarter record.\n\nWhat\'s driving all the sales? In part, they represent a roaring start for Lion, the latest version of OS X, which came out in July and is packed with more cool, new features than the average OS X upgrade. On its first day of release, Lion -- which is only available online or pre-installed in new Macs -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/21/os-x-lion-downloads/\">saw an incredible one million downloads</a>. That made it more popular than any previous Apple desktop operating system.\n\nTimed to the Lion release, Apple also launched updated versions of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-launches-new-macbook-air/\">MacBook Air</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/new-mac-mini-2011/\">Mac mini</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-thunderbolt-display/\">Apple Cinema Display</a>.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/lion-clean-install-guide/\">HOW TO: Do a Clean Install of OS X Lion</a></strong>\n\n</center>\n\nThings should naturally quiet down a bit in the Mac section of Apple stores as Lion gets a little longer in the tooth. On the other hand, nobody knows how much foot traffic the iPhone 5 launch will bring into stores next month -- or how many customers might pick up a laptop or a Mini while they\'re there. \n\nBut it seems a fair bet that the passing of the baton from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook has not slowed the juggernaut that is Apple -- just as <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/25/why-apple-wont-change/\">we predicted</a>. \n\n<em>[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/12/apple_on_pace_to_sell_record_4_5m_macs_this_quarter.html\" >Apple Insider</a>]</em>\n\n<p

But don\'t let that fool you into thinking they\'re cool, says Martin Fichter, acting President of HTC America. \n\nSpeaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter -- pictured above with bicycle -- related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. \"None of them has an iPhone,\" Fichter said, \"because they told me: \'My dad has an iPhone.\' There’s an interesting thing that’s going on in the market. The iPhone becomes a little less cool than it was. They were carrying HTCs. They were carrying Samsungs. They were even carrying some Chinese manufacturer\'s devices.\" \n\nAdded Fichter: \"Macbook Airs are cool. iPhones are not that cool anymore. We here are using iPhones, but our kids don’t find them that cool anymore.”\n\nHTC has been making some aggressive moves in the market of late. Currently, the manufacturer uses Android and Windows Phone 7 for its operating systems; earlier Monday, its CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/htc-purchase-mobile-os/\">suggested in an interview</a> that he was looking around for other mobile OS options, so that the company isn\'t so reliant on software from Google or Microsoft; this despite the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/htc-motorola-google/\">pro-Android stance that HTC took</a> in the wake of the Google-Motorola deal. HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone?

Based on those figures, Gene Munster -- a veteran Apple analyst at Piper Jaffray -- released a short note predicting Apple will sell a total of 4.5 million Macs this quarter. (And that\'s a conservative estimate, based on the notion sales will slow to 16% growth for the quarter overall.)\n\nTo put that in perspective, Apple sold 4.1 million Macs during the 2010 holiday quarter -- traditionally the strongest time of year. That marks the company\'s previous all-time, one-quarter record.\n\nWhat\'s driving all the sales? In part, they represent a roaring start for Lion, the latest version of OS X, which came out in July and is packed with more cool, new features than the average OS X upgrade. On its first day of release, Lion -- which is only available online or pre-installed in new Macs -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/21/os-x-lion-downloads/\">saw an incredible one million downloads</a>. That made it more popular than any previous Apple desktop operating system.\n\nTimed to the Lion release, Apple also launched updated versions of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-launches-new-macbook-air/\">MacBook Air</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/new-mac-mini-2011/\">Mac mini</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-thunderbolt-display/\">Apple Cinema Display</a>.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/lion-clean-install-guide/\">HOW TO: Do a Clean Install of OS X Lion</a></strong>\n\n</center>\n\nThings should naturally quiet down a bit in the Mac section of Apple stores as Lion gets a little longer in the tooth. On the other hand, nobody knows how much foot traffic the iPhone 5 launch will bring into stores next month -- or how many customers might pick up a laptop or a Mini while they\'re there. \n\nBut it seems a fair bet that the passing of the baton from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook has not slowed the juggernaut that is Apple -- just as <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/25/why-apple-wont-change/\">we predicted</a>. \n\n<em>[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/12/apple_on_pace_to_sell_record_4_5m_macs_this_quarter.html\" >Apple Insider</a>]</em>\n\n<p

But don\'t let that fool you into thinking they\'re cool, says Martin Fichter, acting President of HTC America. \n\nSpeaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter -- pictured above with bicycle -- related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he took an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. \"None of them has an iPhone,\" Fichter said, \"because they told me: \'My dad has an iPhone.\' There’s an interesting thing that’s going on in the market. The iPhone becomes a little less cool than it was. They were carrying HTCs. They were carrying Samsungs. They were even carrying some Chinese manufacturer\'s devices.\" \n\nAdded Fichter: \"Macbook Airs are cool. iPhones are not that cool anymore. We here are using iPhones, but our kids don’t find them that cool anymore.”\n\nHTC has been making some aggressive moves in the market of late. Currently, the manufacturer uses Android and Windows Phone 7 for its operating systems; earlier Monday, its CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/htc-purchase-mobile-os/\">suggested in an interview</a> that he was looking around for other mobile OS options, so that the company isn\'t so reliant on software from Google or Microsoft; this despite the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/htc-motorola-google/\">pro-Android stance that HTC took</a> in the wake of the Google-Motorola deal. HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone?

But don\'t let that fool you into thinking they\'re cool, says Martin Fichter, acting president of HTC America. \n\nSpeaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter -- pictured above with bicycle -- related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he took an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. \"None of them has an iPhone,\" Fichter said, \"because they told me: \'My dad has an iPhone.\' There’s an interesting thing that’s going on in the market. The iPhone becomes a little less cool than it was. They were carrying HTCs. They were carrying Samsungs. They were even carrying some Chinese manufacturer\'s devices.\" \n\nAdded Fichter: \"Macbook Airs are cool. iPhones are not that cool anymore. We here are using iPhones, but our kids don’t find them that cool anymore.”\n\nHTC has been making some aggressive moves in the market of late. Currently, the manufacturer uses Android and Windows Phone 7 for its operating systems; earlier Monday, its CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/htc-purchase-mobile-os/\">suggested in an interview</a> that he was looking around for other mobile OS options, so that the company isn\'t so reliant on software from Google or Microsoft; this despite the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/htc-motorola-google/\">pro-Android stance that HTC took</a> in the wake of the Google-Motorola deal. HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone? Or will the iPhone 5 launch blow that idea out of the water? Let us know what you think in the comments. \n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/q_cbNr0qMFY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhones Are For Old People, Says HTC Chief','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;title=iPhones%20Are%20For%20Old%20People,%20Says%20HTC%20Chief&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS are the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">two top-selling phones</a> in America.

It glows when the screen is on; it also starts glowing when you receive a call or a message. It also does not noticeably increase battery use, nor does it increase heating of the back of the case. \n\nUnfortunately, applying this modification yourself might prove a daunting task, as it requires of how the iPhone functions \"on the circuitry level.\" The folks at iPatch will be glad to do it for you starting mid-October for an estimated price of £50-£100 ($79-$158), plus shipping.

But don\'t let that fool you into thinking they\'re cool, says Martin Fichter, acting president of HTC America. \n\nSpeaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter -- pictured above with bicycle -- related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he took an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. \"None of them has an iPhone,\" Fichter said, \"because they told me: \'My dad has an iPhone.\' There’s an interesting thing that’s going on in the market. The iPhone becomes a little less cool than it was. They were carrying HTCs. They were carrying Samsungs. They were even carrying some Chinese manufacturer\'s devices.\" \n\nAdded Fichter: \"Macbook Airs are cool. iPhones are not that cool anymore. We here are using iPhones, but our kids don’t find them that cool anymore.”\n\nHTC has been making some aggressive moves in the market of late. Currently, the manufacturer uses Android and Windows Phone 7 for its operating systems; earlier Monday, its CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/htc-purchase-mobile-os/\">suggested in an interview</a> that he was looking around for other mobile OS options, so that the company isn\'t so reliant on software from Google or Microsoft; this despite the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/htc-motorola-google/\">pro-Android stance that HTC took</a> in the wake of the Google-Motorola deal. HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone? Or will the iPhone 5 launch blow that idea out of the water? Let us know what you think in the comments. \n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/q_cbNr0qMFY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhones Are For Old People, Says HTC Chief','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;title=iPhones%20Are%20For%20Old%20People,%20Says%20HTC%20Chief&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS are the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">two top-selling phones</a> in America.

Based on those figures, Gene Munster -- a veteran Apple analyst at Piper Jaffray -- released a short note predicting Apple will sell a total of 4.5 million Macs this quarter. (And that\'s a conservative estimate, based on the notion sales will slow to 16% growth for the quarter overall.)\n\nTo put that in perspective, Apple sold 4.1 million Macs during the 2010 holiday quarter -- traditionally the strongest time of year. That marks the company\'s previous all-time, one-quarter record.\n\nWhat\'s driving all the sales? In part, they represent a roaring start for Lion, the latest version of OS X, which came out in July and is packed with more cool, new features than the average OS X upgrade. On its first day of release, Lion -- which is only available online or pre-installed in new Macs -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/21/os-x-lion-downloads/\">saw an incredible one million downloads</a>. That made it more popular than any previous Apple desktop operating system.\n\nTimed to the Lion release, Apple also launched updated versions of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-launches-new-macbook-air/\">MacBook Air</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/new-mac-mini-2011/\">Mac mini</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-thunderbolt-display/\">Apple Cinema Display</a>.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/lion-clean-install-guide/\">HOW TO: Do a Clean Install of OS X Lion</a></strong>\n\n</center>\n\nThings should naturally quiet down a bit in the Mac section of Apple stores as Lion gets a little longer in the tooth. On the other hand, nobody knows how much foot traffic the iPhone 5 launch will bring into stores next month -- or how many customers might pick up a laptop or a Mini while they\'re there. \n\nBut it seems a fair bet that the passing of the baton from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook has not slowed the juggernaut that is Apple -- just as <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/25/why-apple-wont-change/\">we predicted</a>. \n\n<em>[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/12/apple_on_pace_to_sell_record_4_5m_macs_this_quarter.html\" >Apple Insider</a>]</em>\n\n<p

The store will be in the International Finance Center Mall. Apple has said the store will open sometime this quarter; local news outlet <em>Ming Pao Daily</em> says more specifically that the 20,000-square-foot store will open on Sept. 24. \n\nThe shop will only be Apple\'s fifth store in China. Out of the current <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/\" >four stores</a>, two are in Beijing and two are in Shanghai. According to <em><a href=\"http://www.mingpao.com/\" >Ming Pao</a></em>, which doesn\'t cite any sources, Apple plans to open two more stores in Hong Kong in the future. \n\nApple has been rapidly expanding in China, although it was initially slow to move into the enormous Chinese market. It wasn\'t until <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/10/27/apple-china-online-store/\">October 2010</a> that Apple opened its online store to Chinese customers. Lately, however, Apple\'s push into Asia has paid off with dividends. In the second quarter of 2011, Apple\'s sales in greater China (which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan) <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/18/apple-lenovo-china/\">passed</a> those of Lenovo for the first time.\n\nIn China, however, Apple has a lot of intellectual property headaches.

However, your phone is about to become a whole lot smarter, thanks to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple\">Apple</a> and its new artificial intelligence Assistant.\n\nThe hype surrounding Tuesday\'s Apple iPhone event is at an all-time high. But most of the hype is focused on the hardware that Apple will announce. What will the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">iPhone 5</a> look like? Will there be an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-4s-apple/\">iPhone 4S</a>? Will it have <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-wish-list-starts-with-4g-and-bigger-screen/\">4G capabilities or a bigger screen</a>?\n\nThe real star of Tuesday\'s show will not be the hardware, though. This event will focus on software, specifically one piece of software that Apple: the iPhone Assistant. \n\nAssistant is the successor to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/02/05/siri-assistant/\">Siri</a>, the iPhone app that helped users with their daily tasks with natural language voice commands. Ask Siri to find a restaurant for you, and it could not only complete your requests, but it could also help you book a reservation. It could grab movie ratings, find you a taxi, perform Google searches and much more. Most of all, it learned from your actions and refined its recommendations accordingly.\n\nThe technology that powered Siri was born from SRI\'s CALO project, the largest artificial intelligence project in U.S. history. It\'s complex technology that linked machine learning to natural language. In other words, it\'s technology that made artificial intelligence accessible and useful to the regular person.\n\nTwo months after its launch, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/28/apple-acquires-iphone-app-siri/\">Apple acquired Siri</a> for more than $200 million.\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>What Assistant Will Do</h2>\n<hr/>\n\n<center><iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/MpjpVAB06O4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n</center>\n\nOn Tuesday, Siri will be reborn as Assistant. And while we have not had a chance to play with Assistant ourselves, we\'ve heard amazing things from the people who have used it.\n\nSay you\'re in a new city and you\'re really craving Chinese. In the past, you might have pulled up the Yelp app, performed a search on Yelp and combed through results. With Assistant, you can say to your iPhone, \"Please find me a Chinese restaurant within a mile of my location.\"\n\nInstead of searching for the taxi company\'s number, Assistant will find it for you. Instead of searching through your apps, Assistant will open up your app and tell the app what you want it to do (we eventually expect APIs that will allow users to directly access their apps via Assistant). \n\nAnd yes, Assistant will be able to transcribe your texts and perform web searches, much like Google\'s Android OS. Assistant will utilize Nuance\'s advance voice-recognition technology to accomplish these tasks.\n\nThe key though is that Assistant will learn. It will figure out what results you don\'t like, what restaurants you frequent, and what people you want to talk to the most. It will adapt to your needs and become more than just a module for voice commands. \n\n<hr/>\n<h2>What Artificial Intelligence Does to the iPhone</h2>\n<hr/>\n\nIn a <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/03/co-founder-of-siri-assistant-is-a-world-changing-event-interview/\" >great interview</a> on Monday, Siri co-founder Norman Winarsky wasn\'t shy to share his thoughts on how Assistant will not only change personal computing but the entire world.\n\n\"Make no mistake: Apple’s ‘mainstreaming’ Artificial Intelligence in the form of a Virtual Personal Assistant is a groundbreaking event,\" Winarsky told <em>9to5mac</em>. \"I’d go so far as to say it is a world-changing event.\"\n\nBut why is Assistant a \"world-changing\" event? Winarsky explains further:\n\n\"This is real AI with real market use. If the rumors are true, Apple will enable millions upon millions of people to interact with machines with natural language,\" he said. \"The PAL (personal assistant software) will get things done, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. We’re talking another technology revolution. A new computing paradigm shift.\"\n\nApple plans to change the very way we interact with our phones yet again. Apple already sparked one revolution with touchscreens and another with the App Store. After Tuesday though, it will have introduced a whole new method of interacting with computers: through an artificial intelligence. That is something that will change our fundamental relationship with the devices that sit on our desks and travel with us in our pockets.\n\nStarting Tuesday, we\'ll be talking about a new computing revolution.\n\n<em>Lead image courtesy of DreamWorks</em>\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>What Apple\'s iPhone 5 May Look Like</h2>\n<hr/>\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>iPhone Evolution</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-assistant/#27801iPhone-Evolution\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"iPhone Evolution\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/iphone-5-mockups/iphone-evolution-iPad-like-metal-back-and-contour,-while-the-front-and-side-remain-similar-to-the-iPhone-4.-Designed-by-Polish-major-Midsailors-it-is-an-incremental-update-approach-to-the-iPhone-5..jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>Polish students designed this beauty, going with the curved back look.

What remains unclear, even at this late stage, is whether Tim Cook will announce an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">iPhone 5</a>, an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/02/iphone-4s/\">iPhone 4S</a> -- or both.\n\nWe believe the new iPhone will contain the super-fast Apple A5 chip, 1 GB of RAM, an advanced voice recognition layer called Assistant, and a powerful 8 MP camera with a revamped Camera application. One of our sources says the new app will even include photo filters, a la <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/instagram\">Instagram</a>, but we haven\'t been able to confirm. \n\nThere are three major questions that nobody outside Apple seems to know the answer to:\n\n<blockquote>\n- Will the new iPhone have <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/03/new-iphone-5-clue/\">a larger screen</a>?\n\n- Will the new iPhone <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-aluminum-back/\">have a different hardware design?</a>\n\n- Will Apple launch one phone, or <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/16/iphone-latest-two-models-production-delays-rumor/\">will it launch two</a>?\n</blockquote>\n\nIf Apple only launches one phone, then the question hinges on whether Apple has redesigned the hardware. If the casing is new, expect Apple to call it the iPhone 5. But if Apple sticks with the iPhone 4\'s rectangular design, then it\'s likely the company will market the device as the iPhone 4S, just as it did with the iPhone 3GS.\n\nThere are a lot of differences between the iPhone 3GS launch and Tuesday\'s iPhone launch, of course. The biggest is that it\'s been 16 months since the last iPhone event, and that has ramped up the expectations to an all-time high. This will also be Tim Cook\'s first event as Apple CEO, and his performance will be closely watched. Meanwhile, Android has become a much stronger mobile platform than it was two years ago.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-wish-list-starts-with-4g-and-bigger-screen/\">iPhone 5 Wish List Starts With 4G and Bigger Screen</a></strong></center>\n\nThere <em>will</em> be disappointment if Apple doesn\'t reveal an iPhone 5. The speculation has convinced millions of Apple enthusiasts that Apple won\'t launch anything less. Would that impact sales?\n\nThe iPhone 3GS was a <a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20090622/apple-more-than-1-million-iphone-3gs-models-sold/\" >smash hit</a>, destroying sales estimates until the iPhone 4 became the <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/28/iphone-4-most-popular-phone-in-us_n_855150.html\" >best-selling phone</a> in the U.S. The 3GS is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">still the second most popular phone</a> in the country. That doesn\'t necessarily mean an iPhone 4S could pull a repeat performance. But if anybody can make it work, it\'s Apple.\n\nApple\'s track record with the iPhone is spectacular, and we doubt an iPhone 4S would throw the company off track. Newer models always beat their predecessors in sales, thanks to a combination of design, software and marketing. And if the iPhone does come to Sprint, as we expect, it will be on all three major carriers.  \n\nAn iPhone 4S might disappoint Apple fans for a short while -- but they will stand in line for weeks in front of the Apple store, as they invariably do. Apple will continue to sell iPhones like hotcakes, regardless of the name its carries.\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>Bonus: What the New iPhone May Look Like</h2>\n<hr/>\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>iPhone Evolution</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-4s-apple/#27801iPhone-Evolution\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"iPhone Evolution\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/iphone-5-mockups/iphone-evolution-iPad-like-metal-back-and-contour,-while-the-front-and-side-remain-similar-to-the-iPhone-4.-Designed-by-Polish-major-Midsailors-it-is-an-incremental-update-approach-to-the-iPhone-5..jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>Polish students designed this beauty, going with the curved back look.

It glows when the screen is on; it also starts glowing when you receive a call or a message. Finally, it does not noticeably increase battery use, nor does it increase heating of the back of the case. \n\nUnfortunately, applying this modification yourself might prove a daunting task, as it requires of how the iPhone functions \"on the circuitry level.\" The folks at iPatch will be glad to do it for you, starting mid-October, for an estimated price of £50 - £100 ($79 - $158), plus shipping. \n\n[<a href=\"http://www.ipatchonline.co.uk/iPhone_4_apple_illumination_mod.html\" >iPatch</a> via <a

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/> The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS are the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">two top-selling phones</a> in America. But don\'t let that fool you into thinking they\'re cool, says Martin Fichter, acting president of HTC America. \n\nSpeaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter -- pictured above with bicycle -- related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he took an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. \"None of them has an iPhone,\" Fichter said, \"because they told me: \'My dad has an iPhone.\' There’s an interesting thing that’s going on in the market. The iPhone becomes a little less cool than it was. They were carrying HTCs. They were carrying Samsungs. They were even carrying some Chinese manufacturer\'s devices.\" \n\nAdded Fichter: \"Macbook Airs are cool. iPhones are not that cool anymore. We here are using iPhones, but our kids don’t find them that cool anymore.”\n\nHTC has been making some aggressive moves in the market of late. Currently, the manufacturer uses Android and Windows Phone 7 for its operating systems; earlier Monday, its CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/htc-purchase-mobile-os/\">suggested in an interview</a> that he was looking around for other mobile OS options, so that the company isn\'t so reliant on software from Google or Microsoft; this despite the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/htc-motorola-google/\">pro-Android stance that HTC took</a> in the wake of the Google-Motorola deal. HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone? Or will the iPhone 5 launch blow that idea out of the water? Let us know what you think in the comments. \n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/q_cbNr0qMFY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhones Are For Old People, Says HTC Chief','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;title=iPhones%20Are%20For%20Old%20People,%20Says%20HTC%20Chief&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS are the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">two top-selling phones</a> in America.

Based on those figures, Gene Munster -- a veteran Apple analyst at Piper Jaffray -- released a short note predicting Apple will sell a total of 4.5 million Macs this quarter. (And that\'s a conservative estimate, based on the notion sales will slow to 16% growth for the quarter overall.)\n\nTo put that in perspective, Apple sold 4.1 million Macs during the 2010 holiday quarter -- traditionally the strongest time of year. That marks the company\'s previous all-time, one-quarter record.\n\nWhat\'s driving all the sales? In part, they represent a roaring start for Lion, the latest version of OS X, which came out in July and is packed with more cool, new features than the average OS X upgrade. On its first day of release, Lion -- which is only available online or pre-installed in new Macs -- <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/21/os-x-lion-downloads/\">saw an incredible one million downloads</a>. That made it more popular than any previous Apple desktop operating system.\n\nTimed to the Lion release, Apple also launched updated versions of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-launches-new-macbook-air/\">MacBook Air</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/new-mac-mini-2011/\">Mac mini</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/apple-thunderbolt-display/\">Apple Cinema Display</a>.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/lion-clean-install-guide/\">HOW TO: Do a Clean Install of OS X Lion</a></strong>\n\n</center>\n\nThings should naturally quiet down a bit in the Mac section of Apple stores as Lion gets a little longer in the tooth. On the other hand, nobody knows how much foot traffic the iPhone 5 launch will bring into stores next month -- or how many customers might pick up a laptop or a Mini while they\'re there. \n\nBut it seems a fair bet that the passing of the baton from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook has not slowed the juggernaut that is Apple -- just as <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/25/why-apple-wont-change/\">we predicted</a>. \n\n<em>[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/12/apple_on_pace_to_sell_record_4_5m_macs_this_quarter.html\" >Apple Insider</a>]</em>\n\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=Nq3LXhpwQvw:VPuSWioOKzQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/Nq3LXhpwQvw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Set to Break Record for Mac Sales This Fall [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/apple-set-to-break-record-for-mac-sales-this-fall-report/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/apple-set-to-break-record-for-mac-sales-this-fall-report/&amp;title=Apple%20Set%20to%20Break%20Record%20for%20Mac%20Sales%20This%20Fall%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/apple-set-to-break-record-for-mac-sales-this-fall-report/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/apple-set-to-break-record-for-mac-sales-this-fall-report/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The breathless anticipation swirling around the upcoming <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone/\">iPhone 5</a> release, and the runaway success of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-2/\">iPad 2</a>, may make it seem like Apple is&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15143-revision-4','','','2011-09-12 21:24:14','2011-09-12 21:24:14','',15143,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15174',0,'revision','',0),
