Those of us paying attention to reports and rumors know that it isn\'t very likely to be see-through or monochromatic. Its very name is a mashup of two possible Apple phones -- the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S. The grammatically-challenged text below the picture should be a tip-off, too: \"Introducing the iPhone that lets you do more than ever. And do it amazingly faster.\"\n\nBut for those who aren\'t paying attention, and who are only vaguely aware that a new iPhone is launching this week, such an email -- complete with an \"order now\" button -- could make easy bait for malware. And that\'s just what this email is, <a href=\"http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-email-malware/\" >according to security firm Sophos</a> -- a lure for users to unintentionally install a nasty little Trojan called <a href=\"http://www.sophos.com/en-us//threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~Zapchas-A.aspx\" >Mal/Zapchas-A</a>. \n\nIronically, given the Apple-based announcement, the malware only affects Windows machines. The email was <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/PCMAbram/status/120773959150080000/photo/1\" >first noticed</a> by Dutch technology journalist Abram Wagenaar. It bears a great deal of resemblance to <a href=\"http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/06/06/iphone-5g-spam-spreads-windows-malware/\" >a similar email</a> that did the rounds just before the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/steve-jobs-keynote-the-apple-news-you-need-to-know-live-blog/\" >Steve Jobs keynote</a> at Apple\'s Worldwide Developers Conference. \n\nThat email suggested we\'d see an \"iPhone 5S\" with a built-in, slide-out keyboard. The look of that email was less Apple-like than the latest effort, though much of the text was similar. Memo to malware makers: You\'ve learned Photoshop; now try brushing up on your copy editing.\n\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-5-scam-windows-virus/#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.

This is no rumor, no guesswork, no fuzzy photo taken by someone allegedly holding an iPhone 5 prototype. Apple has <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">set the date</a> and the place for a real product launch.\n\nOkay, I am getting ahead of myself a bit. The invite does not explicitly mention an iPhone 5. It just promises we’ll talk about the iPhone. Yes, a nice little chat with me, Apple CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">Tim Cook</a> and a few hundred of our closest friends at Apple’s Cupertino campus. There’ll be coffee and Danish. It’ll be cozy.\n\nWhat else can we expect on Oct. 4? Here\'s the shortlist:\n\n<hr /><h2>A Major Redesign</h2><hr />\n\nShortly after Apple unveiled <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios-5/\">iOS 5</a>, the cloud-friendly operating system that will soon reside inside current and future iPhones, there was speculation that the iPhone 5 would look almost exactly like the iPhone 4. The innards would be different, but most people could simply swath iPhone 5’s in the same cases as their previously adored iPhone 4s.\n\nBut soon enough, some eagle-eyed folks spotted <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-aluminum-back/\">new iPhone cases</a> that would in no way house current iPhones or the doppelganger iPhone 5. Answer? The iPhone 5 will be radical design departure. Some believe it will be thinner, or perhaps tapered. Others insist it will be <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/02/iphone-5-thinner-wider/\">wider</a>. \n\n<strong><center>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">iPhone 5: Expect Stronger Demand Than Ever [REPORT]</a></center></strong>\n\nPersonally, I love the current design. I know, antenna attenuation <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/10/apple-iphone4-antennagate-lessons/\">nearly ruined</a> the initial iPhone 4 launch, but my Verizon model moved the antenna bar breaks around and I rarely, if ever, lose signal. Plus, I don’t want a wider phone (read “bigger”) phone.\n\n<hr /><h2>A Faster Phone</h2><hr />\n\nDuh! Even if we didn’t know about the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/14/iphone-5-report/\">A5 chip</a>, Apple’s custom dual-core CPU, why would Apple do a major product launch without raising the performance bar? We rely on our smartphones to do more every day; they simply have to get more powerful -- as any good computer should, under Moore\'s Law. Apple will also likely increase the amount and quality of RAM—which always has a big impact on performance. These changes will be necessary if Apple does some of the other things we’ve been speculating about.\n\n<hr /><h2>Better Screen and Cameras</h2><hr />\n\nApple’s Android competitors outshine the iPhone in the camera resolution and screen size department. On the latter, Apple’s retina display is smaller than many slab <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/droid-bionic/\">Android phones</a> but often approaches or beats them in resolution. If Apple goes with a larger screen, 8-megapixel camera and full 1080p video recording, it’ll need more horsepower to support all of them.  The bigger screen, in particular, will also demand more battery power. Apple’s been very careful about battery life (it’s why it fought so long and hard against multi-tasking) and it may have to increase battery size and capacity to support a larger retina screen.\n\n<hr /><h2>Voice Recognition</h2><hr />\n\nI’ve used Google’s voice-enabled search app on the iPhone and it is quite good. Some pundits believe the iPhone 5 will come with native voice recognition, which means other iPhone apps can tap into this capability for a variety of nifty interactions. Apple did acquire voice-based personal assistant service <a href=\"http://siri.com/\" >Siri</a> last year and hasn’t done much with it yet, at least not publicly. Talking into your phone is natural, so what’s not to like about native voice recognition?\n\n<hr /><h2>4G or Not 4G?</h2><hr />\n\nI guess I’m alone in this, but I don’t give a rat’s behind about 4G on my phone. My Verizon iPhone does just fine with its 3G data connection. However, I don’t think Apple can ignore the consumer clarion call forever. These people want 4G (look at all the 4G Android phones they’re snapping up). I can’t say their battery life is worth much, but at least they have a good time surfing YouTube videos while the charge lasts. Apple could do LTE 4G, the premier option, but only if it’s convinced there’s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/11/iphone-5-on-the-way/\">enough quality 4G out there</a>. I’d say there is and the phone will ably dumb down to 3G anyway.\n\nIf Apple does go 4G, however, it’s a good bet the iPhone 5 will be larger than the eminently pocketable iPhone 4. 4G needs an ample battery for a full day’s use. Big batteries make for bigger phones.\n\n<hr /><h2>No Shopping</h2><hr />\n\nBack when Google introduced <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/google-wallet/\">Google Wallet</a>, a technology for turning one NFC-enabled phone (the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/07/nexus-s-4g-google-wallet/\">Nexus S 4G</a>) into a wallet/credit card, there was a speculation that companies that weren\'t included in the deal -- such as Visa -- might hook up with Apple. All Apple had to do was put an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip inside the iPhone 5 and the rest would be easy. Now, however, Google has managed to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/20/google-wallet-review/\">sign up</a> Visa for Google Wallet as well. I’m not certain Apple will see any value in the added cost of an NFC chip when there are no clear partners, and even less certainty that consumers are ready to start paying with their phones.\n\n<hr /><h2>More Carriers</h2><hr />\n\nApple now has both CDMA and GSM phones. Ubiquity is how to play the competition game. I expect Apple to welcome at least one new carrier partner to the table. My money is on Sprint (which, like Verizon, uses CDMA). T-Mobile is out. AT&T is trying to buy them and it\'s clear Apple wants any part of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/17/att-t-mobile-state/\">that mess</a>.\n\n<hr /><h2>iPhone 4S</h2><hr />\n\nSprint may not get the iPhone 5, however. Since I do expect that to be a 4G phone, my guess is that Apple goes with Verizon and AT&T as the first two carriers. Sprint will get a different phone, the lower-powered, still 3G, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/cheaper-iphone-weeks/\">iPhone 4S</a>. \n\nThese are merely my predictions. The only thing I can guarantee is that Apple will have an event next week on Oct. 4th at 10 a.m. There will be coffee. There will be Danish. There will be an iPhone 5.\n\n<span class=\"intro\"><div><div style=\"float:right;margin-bottom:10px;\"><a  href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\"><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/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/&title=Apple%20iPhone%205%20Launch:%20Here&#8217;s%20What%20to%20Expect&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/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/&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/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/&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/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\" align=\"right\"/></a></div><div style=\"float:left;margin-bottom:10px;\"><img src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/mashable-op-ed-220-37.jpg\" class=\"alignleft\"></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/><span class=\"intro\"><i>This post reflects the opinions of the author and not necessarily those of <em>Mashable</em> as a publication.</i></span><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/YbuSJYshjlu-MDrlRElSZ4UJbmk/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbuSJYshjlu-MDrlRElSZ4UJbmk/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbuSJYshjlu-MDrlRElSZ4UJbmk/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbuSJYshjlu-MDrlRElSZ4UJbmk/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4: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=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4: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=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4: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=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-vF5JD77298:khDcM9FrvT4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/-vF5JD77298\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple iPhone 5 Launch: Here’s What to Expect','The <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone/\">iPhone</a> 5 is coming.

It has been completely redesigned several times in its history, and right now one can argue that it is just an iPod nano sans a screen. However, the absence of the screen does allow for an extremely small form factor, ideal for athletes or anyone who wants their MP3 player to be nearly invisible. We\'d hate to see the iPod shuffle go. \n\nWhat do you think? Would you miss the iPod classic or the shuffle if Apple decided to cut them? Please, share your opinions in the comments. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.tuaw.com/2011/09/27/apple-may-discontinue-the-ipod-shuffle-and-classic/\" ><em>TUAW</em></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/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ: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=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ: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=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ: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=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/elD3p59_pwg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple to Discontinue iPod Shuffle and iPod Classic [RUMOR]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/&amp;title=Apple%20to%20Discontinue%20iPod%20Shuffle%20and%20iPod%20Classic%20%5BRUMOR%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/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>At its next major media event on <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">Oct. 4</a>, Apple will likely announce the next iPhone, but it may also discontinue some of its popular products --&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15512-revision-11','','','2011-09-28 08:35:15','2011-09-28 08:35:15','',15512,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15569',0,'revision','',0),(15570,64,'2011-09-29 01:19:16','2011-09-29 01:19:16','<center>\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>iPhone Evolution</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/iphone-5-mockups/#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.

started sending invites for an iPhone event at Apple\'s Cupertino campus on Oct. 4.\n\nApple is expected to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\">unveil the iPhone 5</a>. The tech giant is also likely to unveil a second, cheaper iPhone model based off the current iPhone 4. The event will be the first with <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/tim-cook-apple-ceo/\">Tim Cook as CEO</a>.\n\nThe new iPhone has been rumored to have an 8 MP camera, 1 GB of RAM, an aluminum back, a larger screen and a slew of other upgrades. Apple is also expected to unveil a new Assistant feature for iOS 5 and will bring some <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/\">special guests on stage</a>.\n\nThis will be Apple\'s first iPhone event since June 2010, when it released the iPhone 4. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">iPhone 5 demand is expected to be strong</a>, thanks to the lack of a phone release this summer and the addition of the iPhone on the Verizon network.

Please, share your opinions in the comments. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.tuaw.com/2011/09/27/apple-may-discontinue-the-ipod-shuffle-and-classic/\" ><em>TUAW</em></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/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iT7AUx_LobSt-la4tXh_5e7jKTc/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ: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=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ: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=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ: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=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=elD3p59_pwg:OG-9XmfgJyQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/elD3p59_pwg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple to Discontinue iPod Shuffle and iPod Classic [RUMOR]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/&amp;title=Apple%20to%20Discontinue%20iPod%20Shuffle%20and%20iPod%20Classic%20%5BRUMOR%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/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/apple-discontinue-ipod-shuffle-classic/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>At its next major media event on <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">Oct. 4</a>, Apple will likely announce the next iPhone, but it may also discontinue some of its popular products --&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15512-revision-13','','','2011-09-28 08:35:15','2011-09-28 08:35:15','',15512,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15574',0,'revision','',0),(15575,64,'2011-09-29 01:19:16','2011-09-29 01:19:16','<center>\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>iPhone Evolution</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/iphone-5-mockups/#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.

The truth must lie somewhere within. Will it have a rounded back like the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-2/\">iPad 2</a>? Will its sides be squared off, will its cross section be teardrop-shaped, are those leaked case designs indicative of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a> 5\'s final design? \n\nOf course, all these questions and more will be answered on October 4 when the new iPhones are revealed, but until then, let\'s take a look at this gallery of dreams, speculations, rumors and hearsay, putting it all together into an impression of what we might be seeing at the big rollout next month.\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zEk7OfwhWQVddnFyICp_1SL67_c/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zEk7OfwhWQVddnFyICp_1SL67_c/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zEk7OfwhWQVddnFyICp_1SL67_c/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zEk7OfwhWQVddnFyICp_1SL67_c/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc: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=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc: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=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc: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=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=x6HkApATHyA:dGTCgXF4yXc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/x6HkApATHyA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5: Here’s What It Might Look Like [PICS]','What will the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">iPhone 5</a> look like?

But a Facebook for TouchPad application was very nearly the last straw, <em>Mashable</em> has learned from multiple sources.\n\nFacebook and Apple, united by a common interest in beating Google, will finally put their differences aside to launch the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/facebook-ipad-app-2/\" >long-overdue Facebook for iPad app</a> Tuesday. \n\nWe also expect announcements on a new Facebook for iPhone application, a Facebook HTML5 mobile app platform, and perhaps even Facebook integration in iOS 5.\n\nThis all marks a significant leap forward in the <a href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-caught-up-in-apple-negotiations/\" >sometimes hostile</a> Facebook and Apple relationship. It began well when Apple first set up an Apple Students group on Facebook in 2006 -- \"a monster success\" for both companies, according to a source who spoke with <em>Mashable</em> on the condition of anonymity.\n\nBut the companies would butt heads many times in the following years.\n\n<hr />\n<h2>How Ping Went Wrong</h2>\n<hr />\n\nThe most publicized confrontation involved <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ping\">Ping</a>, Apple\'s attempt at an iTunes social network. Ping first launched with Facebook integration in September 2010, but Facebook quickly <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/facebook-itune-ping/\">pulled Apple\'s access to its APIs</a>. This alerted the media to a <a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20100902/facebook-blocked-api-access-to-ping-after-failure-to-strike-agreement-so-apple-removed-feature-after-launch/\" >growing rift</a> between the companies.\n\nA source familiar with the chain of the events attributes the Ping debacle to a disagreement over iOS 4. Apple had fully integrated Facebook into the iPhone and iPad\'s operating system, and was ready to launch the mobile-social fusion when API negotiations broke down. Apple, lacking confidence in Facebook\'s ability to build a great application, asked to build its own Facebook for iPhone app. Facebook responded with a firm no. Negotiations came to halt.\n\nMeanwhile, Apple was working away on Ping -- and due to the stalled iOS 4 talks, decided to keep Facebook mostly out of the loop. Facebook, surprised by Ping\'s launch, turned off Apple\'s access to its APIs. The rest was history.\n\n<hr />\n<h2>Jobs vs. Zuck</h2>\n<hr />\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>App Icon</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/#21497App-Icon\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"App Icon\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-ipad/facebook-ipad-21.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>The Facebook icon looks the same.

Jobs, however, learned during his visit that HP was about to release a native webOS Facebook application for the TouchPad. \n\nIndeed, back on February 9, 2011 -- the date HP <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/02/09/hp-webos-touchpad-live\">revealed</a> its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/30/hp-touchpad-second-life\">almost defunct</a> TouchPad tablet -- HP SVP of Applications and Services Steven McArthur did tout the fact that the company had been working closely with Facebook. \n\nThe Facebook application that HP finally launched in July, however, appears to be an unofficial build that <a href=\"http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad-apps/289676-facebook-touchpad-2.html\" >disappointed users</a>.\n\nSo what happened to the rich Facebook for TouchPad application that HP promised?\n\n<hr />\n<h2>HP Plays the Cuckold</h2> \n<hr />\n\n<center><div id=\"attachment_751843\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 385px\"><a href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387970,00.asp\"><img src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/fb-for-touchpad.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"fb for touchpad\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-full wp-image-751843\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image courtesy of PCMag.com</em></p></div>\n\n</center>\n\nWhen Jobs learned of the webOS Facebook app during his summer visit to Facebook, he was livid. Zuckerberg vowed to get the app pulled. But Jon Rubinstein, the former CEO of Palm and then the GM of HP\'s webOS division, refused to halt the release of the app. Facebook responded by restricting HP\'s access to its APIs -- just as it had done with Apple\'s Ping, a year earlier.\n\nWas Facebook playing both sides? Absolutely, says a source close to HP. Facebook was made aware of the application and device integrations. The company knew what was coming, changed its tune right before release -- and only did so to appease Apple. \n\nFor its part, HP was furious. It had hoped the Facebook application would help differentiate the TouchPad from other tablets on the market. Another source says that HP may have considered legal action. In any case, the TouchPad was discontinued shortly after.\n\n<hr />\n<h2>Kiss and Make Up?</h2>\n<hr />\n\nSo Facebook and HP may be on the outs, but Facebook and Apple appear to have patched up their differences.\n\nNot only are the pair finally aligned on the Facebook for iPad application, but they\'ve been working together closely on Facebook\'s HTML 5 mobile app platform.\n\nThis is the closest Apple and Facebook have been to creating something meaningful together, one source says. They\'re partnering because they share a common enemy: Google.\n\nStill, there are no guarantees. Both companies are said to be scrambling to work out the final details prior to the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">iPhone 5 launch event on Oct. 4</a>.\n\nWe\'ve reached out to Apple, Facebook and HP for on-the-record comment.\n\n<em>Mashable\'s Editor at Large Ben Parr and Entertainment Editor Christina Warren contributed to the reporting of this story.</em>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY: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=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY: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=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY: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=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/G_GR3TqpFig\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','How Apple and Facebook Nearly Fell Out — Over the HP TouchPad [EXCLUSIVE]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/&amp;title=How%20Apple%20and%20Facebook%20Nearly%20Fell%20Out%20%E2%80%94%20Over%20the%20HP%20TouchPad%20%5BEXCLUSIVE%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/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>\n\nTech titans Facebook and Apple have a contentious relationship that is frequently put to the test.

Until then, though, we can all imagine that each and every one of us has an impact on the iPhone 5\'s final incarnation. What will it look like?  It may be radically different from the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-4/\">iPhone 4</a> (and 3Gses) millions of you currently have in your pockets. \n\n<em>Mashable </em>has done a fair share of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/iphone-5-mockups/\">speculation</a> on what the final iPhone 5\'s new look and capabilities. However, Apple makes these products for you, the consumer. So what we think and want isn’t half as important as what you hope to see in Apple’s next hand-held wonder. \n\nDo you want a thinner product that slides neatly into your sometimes too-tight front pocket? Perhaps you’re thinking that the next iPhone would be infinitely better if it had two cameras on the back to capture 3D images. Others may want twice as much storage and the option of more memory. We’ve heard whispers about larger screens. And some think it makes sense to simply squeeze more pixels into the current screen size. Obviously 4G is high on the list and some want the iPhone to double as a credit card (NFC).\n\nIt’s unlikely we’ll get everything we want in a new iPhone, so let’s try and settle on the things we want the most.

It has been completely redesigned several times in its history, and right now one can argue that it is just an iPod nano sans a screen. However, the absence of the screen does allow for an extremely small form factor, ideal for athletes or anyone who wants their MP3 player to be nearly invisible. We\'d hate to see the iPod shuffle go. \n\nWhat do you think? Would you miss the iPod classic or the shuffle if Apple decided to cut them? Please, share your opinions in the comments. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.tuaw.com/2011/09/27/apple-may-discontinue-the-ipod-shuffle-and-classic/\" ><em>TUAW</em></a>]<p

generation iPhone -- possibly the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5\">iPhone 5</a> or <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-4s\">iPhone 4S</a>. \n\nAnd, as always during these announcements, the online Apple Store goes down -- as it is now -- only to return with new goodies in an hour or two. \n\nHead to our <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-iphone-live-blog/\">live blog</a> to check what Apple has in store (pun intended) this time, and don\'t bother refreshing Apple\'s site too much -- the store never comes back online until after the presentation begins. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/iphone-history-so-far-infographic/\" >iPhone History: The

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.

Mashable as a publication.\"></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/></center>\n\n<img src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ai-360.jpg\" class=\"alignright\" width=\"275px\">Let me start off by saying this: your phone is not suddenly going to gain sentience and become <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)\" >Skynet</a>. 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 tomorrow. 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 is launching tomorrow: 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<blockquote>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. 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</blockquote>\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.

The nation\'s third-largest wireless carrier has reportedly agreed to purchase $20 billion in iPhones, regardless of whether it can find customers that will buy them.\n\nThe deal requires Sprint to purchase at least 30.5 million iPhones through the next four years, according to <a href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203405504576603053795839250.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTTopStories\" ><em>The Wall Street Journal</em></a>.  The cost of those iPhones amounts to $20 billion, an upfront cost that will force Sprint to lose <em>a lot</em> of money on the deal until 2014.\n\nThis is a ridiculously high number for a company that had only <a href=\"http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1879\" >27.4 million postpaid subscribers</a> as of April 2011. To come close to matching 30.5 million iPhone orders, Sprint will have to dramatically grow its customer base or convince all of its customers to switch to iPhones. Both are monumental tasks.\n\n<strong><center>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">Apple iPhone 5 Launch: Here\'s What to Expect</a></strong></center>\n\nSprint hopes a combination of subsidies (at least $500 per phone), strong customer service and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">an unlimited data plan</a> will help the struggling wireless carrier poach customers from Verizon and AT&T, the current market leaders. In the meantime though, the deal will have a major impact on Sprint\'s bottom line, depressing its profits and potentially its stock price for the next few years.\n\nIts clear that Sprint CEO Dan Hesse is betting all of his chips on the iPhone. Apple doesn\'t need Sprint, but Sprint needs Apple, which is why the tech giant was able to negotiate such a one-sided deal. Still, Sprint\'s future prospects were bleak without the world\'s most popular smartphone. The company had little choice but to pray the iPhone remains a market leader for the next five years.\n\nIt\'s a smart bet, but it\'s a bet that could break the company\'s back. Only time will tell if Sprint\'s decision is genius or suicidal. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/business/\">Business</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashbusiness\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Business on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Business 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/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/jvzMQFzNnjI\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Makes a Risky $20 Billion Bet on the iPhone','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;title=Sprint%20Makes%20a%20Risky%20$20%20Billion%20Bet%20on%20the%20iPhone&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/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The future of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/sprint\">Sprint</a> now depends on the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone\">iPhone</a>.

Those of us paying attention to reports and rumors know that it isn\'t very likely to be see-through or monochromatic. Its very name is a mashup of two possible Apple phones -- the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S. The grammatically-challenged text below the picture should be a tip-off, too: \"Introducing the iPhone that lets you do more than ever. And do it amazingly faster.\"\n\nBut for those who aren\'t paying attention, and who are only vaguely aware that a new iPhone is launching this week, such an email -- complete with an \"order now\" button -- could make easy bait for malware. And that\'s just what this email is, <a href=\"http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-email-malware/\" >according to security firm Sophos</a> -- a lure for users to unintentionally install a nasty little Trojan called <a href=\"http://www.sophos.com/en-us//threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~Zapchas-A.aspx\" >Mal/Zapchas-A</a>. \n\nIronically, given the Apple-based announcement, the malware only affects Windows machines. The email was <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/PCMAbram/status/120773959150080000/photo/1\" >first noticed</a> by Dutch technology journalist Abram Wagenaar. It bears a great deal of resemblance to <a href=\"http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/06/06/iphone-5g-spam-spreads-windows-malware/\" >a similar email</a> that did the rounds just before the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/steve-jobs-keynote-the-apple-news-you-need-to-know-live-blog/\" >Steve Jobs keynote</a> at Apple\'s Worldwide Developers Conference. \n\nThat email suggested we\'d see an \"iPhone 5S\" with a built-in, slide-out keyboard. The look of that email was less Apple-like than the latest effort, though much of the text was similar. Memo to malware makers: You\'ve learned Photoshop; now try brushing up on your copy editing.\n\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-5-scam-windows-virus/#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.

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>The future of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/sprint\">Sprint</a> now depends on the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone\">iPhone</a>. The nation\'s third-largest wireless carrier has reportedly agreed to purchase $20 billion in iPhones, regardless of whether it can find customers that will buy them.\n\nThe deal requires Sprint to purchase at least 30.5 million iPhones through the next four years, according to <a href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203405504576603053795839250.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTTopStories\" ><em>The Wall Street Journal</em></a>.  The cost of those iPhones amounts to $20 billion, an upfront cost that will force Sprint to lose <em>a lot</em> of money on the deal until 2014.\n\nThis is a ridiculously high number for a company that had only <a href=\"http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1879\" >27.4 million postpaid subscribers</a> as of April 2011. To come close to matching 30.5 million iPhone orders, Sprint will have to dramatically grow its customer base or convince all of its customers to switch to iPhones. Both are monumental tasks.\n\n<strong><center>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">Apple iPhone 5 Launch: Here\'s What to Expect</a></strong></center>\n\nSprint hopes a combination of subsidies (at least $500 per phone), strong customer service and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">an unlimited data plan</a> will help the struggling wireless carrier poach customers from Verizon and AT&T, the current market leaders. In the meantime though, the deal will have a major impact on Sprint\'s bottom line, depressing its profits and potentially its stock price for the next few years.\n\nIts clear that Sprint CEO Dan Hesse is betting all of his chips on the iPhone. Apple doesn\'t need Sprint, but Sprint needs Apple, which is why the tech giant was able to negotiate such a one-sided deal. Still, Sprint\'s future prospects were bleak without the world\'s most popular smartphone. The company had little choice but to pray the iPhone remains a market leader for the next five years.\n\nIt\'s a smart bet, but it\'s a bet that could break the company\'s back. Only time will tell if Sprint\'s decision is genius or suicidal. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/business/\">Business</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashbusiness\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Business on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Business 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/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/jvzMQFzNnjI\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Makes a Risky $20 Billion Bet on the iPhone','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;title=Sprint%20Makes%20a%20Risky%20$20%20Billion%20Bet%20on%20the%20iPhone&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/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The future of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/sprint\">Sprint</a> now depends on the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone\">iPhone</a>.

Apple’s going to roll out the big guns. And the features of the new phone are entirely up in the air.\n\nMashable <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/iphone-5-features/\">asked its readers</a> which features are must-haves, by choosing the one upgrade feature they’d choose if they could only have one. Bigger screen and 4G were the top responses by a wide margin. Of the nearly 11,000 votes cast, more than 2,200 want the high-speed mobile broadband option. They made this choice despite the fact battery-draining 4G could have a negative effect on the iPhone battery life, which some complained about in the comments.\n\nLikewise, a bigger screen, which could also consume more battery life, registered more than 2,600 votes. Interestingly, a higher resolution screen received the least amount of votes (313), indicating few want the iPhone 5’s icons and on-screen text to get any smaller or any less readable, even if iPhone owners end up with more screen real-estate.\n\nAlso high on the list are an 8-megapixel camera (over 1,100 votes), more memory and storage (915 votes)  and a thinner body (1080). Some respondents expressed their desire for the rumored tear-drop-shaped design in the comments. \n\nSprint availability (which is expected), 1080p video recording, voice recognition and an NFC chip for digital credit card shopping all finished in the middle. The fact Sprint is not at the top of consumers\' wish list is somewhat surprising. When the iPhone was only available on AT&T, Verizon availability was frequently the number one request for the next iPhone. These days, the iPhone is on both AT&T and Verizon.  All carriers, including Sprint, offer access to a wide variety of touchscreen phones, many of which run Google’s Android mobile OS.\n\nThe unveiling is just hours away, and you can follow along on our live blog, starting at approximately 12:30 ET.

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

trademark on Jan. 9, 2007, (the day when <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a> was announced), but the United States Patent and Trademark Office decided that the term was too broad. \n\nAfter Apple\'s appeal, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board upheld the original decision. From the <a href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/66447722/Multi-Touch-Trademark\" >decision</a>:\n\n\"The examining attorney maintains that “multi-touch” is“highly descriptive” and identifies a type of touchscreen interface which “allows a user to manipulate and control the functions of an electronic device by using more than one finger simultaneously. ... Again, simply because the applied-for term has been used in association with a highly successful product does not mean the term has acquired distinctiveness.\"\n\nThis comes as no surprise as the term multi-touch was used in the pre-iPhone era. For example, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/09/26/apple-has-been-denied-the-multi-touch-trademark-by-patent-office/\" >9to5Mac</a> points to a <a href=\"http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1095054\" >paper</a> by Jeff Han that uses the term in 2005. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/26/apple-denied-trademark-for-multi-touch/\" ><em>MacRumors</em></a>]<p

href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">iPhone 5 launch event on Oct. 4</a>, <em>Mashable</em> has learned. In addition to the iPad app, Facebook is also expected to release a revamped version of its iPhone app and may unveil an HTML5-based mobile app marketplace.\n\nThe Facebook iPad app, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/facebook-ipad-app-2/\">leaked earlier this year</a>, has been in limbo at Facebook for the past few months. That much was made clear in a <a href=\"http://blog.jeffverkoeyen.com/back-to-the-bay-area\" >blog post</a> Monday by former Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen. In that post, he revealed that he left the company (for Google) partially because Facebook has been sitting on the completed app since May.\n\nThe problem, according to two sources familiar with the situation, has been a combination of timing and a strained relationship with Apple. It\'s no secret that the two companies have been at odds over various issues during the past two years. For example, the social network <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/facebook-itune-ping/\">pulled the plug on Facebook Connect in Ping</a> because Apple didn\'t give Facebook any warning about the feature, which would have eaten a great deal of bandwidth on Facebook\'s side.\n\nWe\'ve also heard rumors that Facebook was supposed to be integrated into iOS. This was meant to happen years ago, but disagreements on both sides eventually led to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/\">Apple integrating Twitter into iOS 5</a>. \n\nThe relationship between the two technology giants is warming up, however, thanks to the shared goal of beating Google -- and the simple fact that Facebook and Apple may need each other. The former doesn\'t have a mobile platform while Apple doesn\'t have a social platform. The culmination of this renewed friendship: the launch of Facebook for iPad at Apple\'s iPhone 5 media event.\n\nAt this event, our sources also expect Facebook to unveil a new version of Facebook for the iPhone, with design and speed improvements that mimic the iPad app. \n\nFacebook has also been working on a project to bring the Facebook Platform to mobile devices. The project, labeled \"Project Spartan\" by some (a name not used internally at Facebook, according to one of our sources), is designed to be a platform where developers can bring their Facebook apps to mobile devices via an HTML5 platform. \n\nWhat we\'re hearing is that Apple is actually working with Facebook on perfecting the HTML5 platform. This could also launch at Apple\'s upcoming iPhone event, though our sources wouldn\'t commit to a specific launch date for the platform. Facebook decided not to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/facebook-f8-live-video/\">launch it at f8</a>, as it didn\'t want to water down the announcement of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/new-facebook-open-graph/\">the new Facebook Open Graph</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/new-facebook-profiles/\">Timeline</a>.\n\nWhen we said last week that <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/prepare-for-the-new-facebook/\">Facebook would be profoundly changed</a>, we weren\'t just referring to the new Facebook Open Graph and the \"frictionless sharing\" touted by Mark Zuckerberg. We were also talking about its secretive effort to become a mobile platform for the social web. And thanks to Apple, it looks like that effort is about to come to fruition.\n\nWe\'ve reached out to Apple and Facebook for comment.\n\n<em>Mashable\'s Jennifer Van Grove contributed to this report.</em>\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>Facebook for iPad: Leaked Screenshots</h2>\n\nHere are the leaked screenshots of the Facebook for iPad app, from earlier this year:\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>App Icon</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/#21497App-Icon\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"App Icon\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-ipad/facebook-ipad-21.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>The Facebook icon looks the same.

width=\"275px\">Let me start off by saying this: Your phone is not suddenly going to gain sentience and become <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)\" >Skynet</a>. 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.

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.

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.

At launch, Ping had Facebook integration, but a disagreement between the two companies resulted in Facebook integration being removed, much to the detriment of Ping\'s success.But Apple\'s complicated relationship history with Facebook paved the way for its new <a href=\"http://blog.twitter.com/2011/06/ios-5-tweet-everywhere.html\" >intimate romance</a> with Twitter.Facebook is in no way integrated in iOS 5, nor is its familiar blue logo anywhere to be found in Apple\'s promotional materials. Twitter, by contrast, is <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#twitter\" >everywhere</a>. It will soon be the social layer of iOS, enabling users to turn individual actions such as snapping a photo or reading an article into instant social activities.\"Building Twitter into iOS 5 truly creates the easiest way to share everything that’s happening in your world. Take a picture, tap \'Tweet,\' \" Dorsey said of the news. \"Tweeting has never been simpler.\"The implications are vast. Twitter will essentially become the default social network for iOS users. It\'s as if Apple reached down in a God-like fashion, grabbed Twitter with its almighty hand and lifted it up to the social networking heavens.Facebook\'s social graph may reign supreme today -- many consider Facebook to own the social graph -- but Apple will play a huge role in equalizing the playing field.Look no further than the Contacts integration as proof. iOS users who perform the single sign-on with Twitter can automatically have their contact records updated with the Twitter avatars and usernames of their Twitter friends.\"Want to mention or @reply to a friend? Contacts applies your friends’ Twitter usernames and profile pictures. So you can start typing a name and iOS 5 does the rest,\" Apple explains. \"You can even add a location to any tweet, no matter which app you’re tweeting from.\"If you want your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to become an instantly social device, use Twitter, so sayeth the almighty Apple. Never before has Twitter\'s value proposition sounded so simple.<br/><h4>Twitter in iOS 5</h4> <br/> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/#15989Twitter-in-iOS-5\"><img

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.

The service uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower positioning to report the last-available location of a device to MobileMe. This information is limited to an account registered with the same account as the iOS device.</p> \n \n<p>Previously, Apple required a paid MobileMe account to use Find My iPhone. Now, if you’re not a MobileMe subscriber, you use a free Apple ID account, which can be an existing one you use with the Apple Store or other Apple services, or one you create afresh. Apple <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/iphone/find-my-iphone-setup/\">has step-by-step instructions</a> on how to set up Find My iPhone with an Apple ID.</p> \n \n<p>We’ve written extensively about Find My iPhone, most recently in “<a href=\"http://db.tidbits.com/article/11368\">Apple Adds Find My iPhone App and Updates Web App</a>,” 18 June 2010. That revision of the Web app and release of an iOS app made the service enormously easier to use, especially from mobile devices. With GPS and a 3G cellular connection in an iPhone or 3G iPad, you can get a fairly exact fix quite rapidly so long as a thief hasn’t wiped the device or powered it down.</p> \n \n<p>If you own any of the supported devices, after installing iOS 4.2 on any one of them, you may use Find My iPhone with all iOS hardware you own that has also been upgraded to iOS 4.2. People without a new iOS device will still need to pay for MobileMe to use the service. </p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p><p><small><b><a href=\"http://db.tidbits.com/article/11773#comments\">Read and post comments</a> about this article | <a href=\"http://db.tidbits.com/t/11773\">Tweet this article</a></b></small></p><div class=\"sponsorbox\">\r\n<div class=\"sponsortext\"><A HREF=\"http://www.smilesoftware.com/\"><IMG SRC=\"http://db.tidbits.com/images/badges/SmileLogo2010-50x50.gif\" ALT=\"\" HEIGHT=\"50\" WIDTH=\"50\" BORDER=\"0\" ALIGN=\"left\"></A>Get more productive with software from Smile: PDFpen for<br />editing PDFs; TextExpander for saving time and keystrokes while you<br />type; DiscLabel for designing CD/DVD labels and inserts.

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.

In addition to the iPad app, Facebook is also expected to release a revamped version of its iPhone app and may unveil an HTML5-based mobile app marketplace.\n\nThe Facebook iPad app, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/facebook-ipad-app-2/\">leaked earlier this year</a>, has been in limbo at Facebook for the past few months. That much was made clear in a <a href=\"http://blog.jeffverkoeyen.com/back-to-the-bay-area\" >blog post</a> Monday by former Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen. In that post, he revealed that he left the company (for Google) partially because Facebook has been sitting on the completed app since May.\n\nThe problem, according to two sources familiar with the situation, has been a combination of timing and a strained relationship with Apple. It\'s no secret that the two companies have been at odds over various issues during the past two years. For example, the social network <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/facebook-itune-ping/\">pulled the plug on Facebook Connect in Ping</a> because Apple didn\'t give Facebook any warning about the feature, which would have eaten a great deal of bandwidth on Facebook\'s side.\n\nWe\'ve also heard rumors that Facebook was supposed to be integrated into iOS. This was meant to happen years ago, but disagreements on both sides eventually led to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/\">Apple integrating Twitter into iOS 5</a>. \n\nThe relationship between the two technology giants is warming up, however, thanks to the shared goal of beating Google -- and the simple fact that Facebook and Apple may need each other. The former doesn\'t have a mobile platform while Apple doesn\'t have a social platform. The culmination of this renewed friendship: the launch of Facebook for iPad at Apple\'s iPhone 5 media event.\n\nAt this event, our sources also expect Facebook to unveil a new version of Facebook for the iPhone, with design and speed improvements that mimic the iPad app. \n\nFacebook has also been working on a project to bring the Facebook Platform to mobile devices. The project, labeled \"Project Spartan\" by some (a name not used internally at Facebook, according to one of our sources), is designed to be a platform where developers can bring their Facebook apps to mobile devices via an HTML5 platform. \n\nWhat we\'re hearing is that Apple is actually working with Facebook on perfecting the HTML5 platform. This could also launch at Apple\'s upcoming iPhone event, though our sources wouldn\'t commit to a specific launch date for the platform. Facebook decided not to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/facebook-f8-live-video/\">launch it at f8</a>, as it didn\'t want to water down the announcement of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/new-facebook-open-graph/\">the new Facebook Open Graph</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/new-facebook-profiles/\">Timeline</a>.\n\nWhen we said last week that <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/prepare-for-the-new-facebook/\">Facebook would be profoundly changed</a>, we weren\'t just referring to the new Facebook Open Graph and the \"frictionless sharing\" touted by Mark Zuckerberg. We were also talking about its secretive effort to become a mobile platform for the social web. And thanks to Apple, it looks like that effort is about to come to fruition.\n\nWe\'ve reached out to Apple and Facebook for comment.\n\n<em>Mashable\'s Jennifer Van Grove contributed to this report.</em>\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>Facebook for iPad: Leaked Screenshots</h2>\n\nHere are the leaked screenshots of the Facebook for iPad app, from earlier this year:\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>App Icon</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/#21497App-Icon\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"App Icon\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-ipad/facebook-ipad-21.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>The Facebook icon looks the same.

The nation\'s third-largest wireless carrier has reportedly agreed to purchase $20 billion in iPhones, regardless of whether it can find customers that will buy them.\n\nThe deal requires Sprint to purchase at least 30.5 million iPhones through the next four years, according to <a href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203405504576603053795839250.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTTopStories\" ><em>The Wall Street Journal</em></a>.  The cost of those iPhones amounts to $20 billion, an upfront cost that will force Sprint to lose <em>a lot</em> of money on the deal until 2014.\n\nThis is a ridiculously high number for a company that had only <a href=\"http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1879\" >27.4 million postpaid subscribers</a> as of April 2011. To come close to matching 30.5 million iPhone orders, Sprint will have to dramatically grow its customer base or convince all of its customers to switch to iPhones. Both are monumental tasks.\n\n<strong><center>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">Apple iPhone 5 Launch: Here\'s What to Expect</a></strong></center>\n\nSprint hopes a combination of subsidies (at least $500 per phone), strong customer service and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">an unlimited data plan</a> will help the struggling wireless carrier poach customers from Verizon and AT&T, the current market leaders. In the meantime though, the deal will have a major impact on Sprint\'s bottom line, depressing its profits and potentially its stock price for the next few years.\n\nIts clear that Sprint CEO Dan Hesse is betting all of his chips on the iPhone. Apple doesn\'t need Sprint, but Sprint needs Apple, which is why the tech giant was able to negotiate such a one-sided deal. Still, Sprint\'s future prospects were bleak without the world\'s most popular smartphone. The company had little choice but to pray the iPhone remains a market leader for the next five years.\n\nIt\'s a smart bet, but it\'s a bet that could break the company\'s back. Only time will tell if Sprint\'s decision is genius or suicidal. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/business/\">Business</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashbusiness\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Business on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Business 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/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P1ANAI0HQ9WXa96LQGYGcaLkPz0/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA: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=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=jvzMQFzNnjI:-zEqJKmR7ZA:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/jvzMQFzNnjI\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Makes a Risky $20 Billion Bet on the iPhone','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;title=Sprint%20Makes%20a%20Risky%20$20%20Billion%20Bet%20on%20the%20iPhone&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/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/sprint-20-billion-iphone/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The future of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/sprint\">Sprint</a> now depends on the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone\">iPhone</a>.

Let us know in the comments your hype memories and speculation from Apple events past -- and what <em>you</em> think is due to be revealed on Oct. 4.\n\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>2005: \"1000 Songs In Your Pocket Changed Everything. Here We Go Again\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281152005-1000-Songs-In-Your-Pocket-Changed-Everything-Here-We-Go-Again\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2005: &quot;1000 Songs In Your Pocket Changed Everything. Here We Go Again&quot;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/1000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Back in 2005, Apple teased the press with a cryptic message superimposed over an image of a denim pocket. </p>\n\n<p>The \"1000 songs\" reference can be traced back to the first iPod <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2001/10/23Apple-Presents-iPod.html\" >press release</a> in 2001.</p>\n\n<p>This line represented the tagline for this event\'s launch -- the first-gen iPod nano.</p>\n\n<p>Beyond the nano, Apple also introduced the Motorola ROKR, which supported iTunes. While not a success, the ROKR was the creative seed for the iPhone.</p>\n\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2005: \"One More Thing\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281212005-One-More-Thing\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2005: &quot;One More Thing&quot;\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/one.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Later in the year, Apple referenced the theatrical with a stage curtain and a mysterious message that read, \"One more thing.\"</p>\n\n<p>As most of you will know, this is a reference to Steve Jobs\' keynote tactic, in which he saves one announcement for the last minute. </p>\n\n<p>That \"one more thing\" in this instance turned out to be the first video-playing iPod, known as the \"iPod video.\"</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2006: \"It\'s Showtime\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281252006-Its-Showtime\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2006: &quot;It\'s Showtime&quot;\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/showtime.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The simple \"It\'s Showtime\" invite suggested movie-related news. Jobs\' \"one more thing\" was just that -- films available on iTunes from Disney, Pixar, Touchstone and Miramax.</p>\n\n<p>iPods also got updates at this event, with a second-gen nano and shuffle. Unusual for Apple, Jobs previewed a product due the following year, a little something that went by the product code name of \"iTV.\"</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2007: \"The Beat Goes On\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281192007-The-Beat-Goes-On\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2007: &quot;The Beat Goes On&quot;\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/beat.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>As you\'d imagine, \"The Beat Goes On\" event was music-themed -- an iPod special event held in September. The invite was styled after Apple\'s \"Cover Flow\" album display design, and featured a classic dancing silhouette.</p>\n\n<p>\"The beat goes on\" line had folk speculating about a Beatles iTunes release. The fab four used the phrase several times in their own 1970 press release.</p>\n\n<p>The Beatles news was not to be. As well as the \"fatboy\" nano and the iPod classic, Steve Jobs unveiled one of Apple\'s most popular products - the iPod touch.</p>\n\n\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2008: \"Let\'s Rock\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281272008-Lets-Rock\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2008: &quot;Let\'s Rock&quot;\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/rocks.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>With an invite design resembling an iPod display, the event a year later introduced the fourth-gen iPod nano and the second-gen iPod touch (described as the \"funnest\" iPod ever) in time for the holidays.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2009: \"It\'s Only Rock and Roll, But We Like It\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281232009-Its-Only-Rock-and-Roll-But-We-Like-It\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2009: &quot;It\'s Only Rock and Roll, But We Like It&quot;\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/rock.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Held on 09.09.09 -- the same day The Beatles remastered studio albums were to be released -- this special event made the rumor mill go into overdrive.</p>\n\n<p>Instead, iTunes got a huge update, the third-gen touch was introduced, the nano got a redesign (complete with a camera) and the shuffle went button-free.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2010: \"Come See Our Latest Creation\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281092010-Come-See-Our-Latest-Creation\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2010: &quot;Come See Our Latest Creation&quot;\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/creation.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>January 27 2010 was a big day in Apple\'s history. Invites were sent out over a week prior to the event, so there was plenty of time for fanboys and pundits to analyze every detail of the paint splat graphic.</p>\n\n<p>It was expected that Jobs would finally unveil the Apple tablet, and he did, calling the iPad \"magical and revolutionary\" when he revealed it to the world.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2010: No Text</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281172010-No-Text\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2010: No Text\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/guitar.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple\'s September 2010 invite design was a no text teaser - just an image of a guitar with an Apple-shaped soundhole.</p>\n\n<p>According to Jobs, this event saw the \"biggest change\" ever in Apple\'s iPod line-up with revamps across the gamut.</p>\n\n<p>The shuffle got its buttons back, the nano went square, and tiny with a touchscreen and the fourth-gen touch featured cameras.</p>\n\n<p>Jobs\' \"one more thing\" (or as the presentation slide read, \"one more hobby\") was a new, smaller design for the Apple TV.</p>\n\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2011: \"Come See What 2011 Will Be the Year Of\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281072011-Come-See-What-2011-Will-Be-the-Year-Of\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2011: &quot;Come See What 2011 Will Be the Year Of&quot;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/apple-ipad2-main.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple was pretty blunt about the subject of its March 2 event. The second-gen iPad was revealed on the second day of the month.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2011: \"Let\'s Talk iPhone\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281132011-Lets-Talk-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2011: &quot;Let\'s Talk iPhone&quot;\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/iphone-5-invite.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This brings us up to the Oct. 4 \"Let\'s Talk iPhone\" event invite. While it\'s clear what the event will be about, broadly speaking, the invite has led to all manner of speculation.</p>\n\n<p>Will the iPhone 5 be revealed? Or will Apple play it safe with an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/02/iphone-4s/\">iPhone 4S</a>?
