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.

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 width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Twitter in iOS 5\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/twitter-in-ios-5/features_twitter_overview.png\" /></a><br/><br/><p></p> <br/><h4>Tweet From Safari, YouTube & Maps</h4> <br/> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/#15987Tweet-From-Safari-YouTube--Maps\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Tweet From Safari, YouTube &amp;

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/DolV_A_6Gg-WSB96Rp42DvjcwM4/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DolV_A_6Gg-WSB96Rp42DvjcwM4/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DolV_A_6Gg-WSB96Rp42DvjcwM4/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DolV_A_6Gg-WSB96Rp42DvjcwM4/1/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.

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. 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.

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>\nTech titans Facebook and Apple have a contentious relationship that is frequently put to the test.

Best as I can tell, I’m one of those genetic mutants who inherited my right ear from my father and my left from my mother, causing the anomaly that my right ear can temporarily go deaf thanks to paternal narrow ear canals. Usually this ranks up there as no more bothersome than the problem that <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACHOO_syndrome#Photic_Sneezing\">bright light makes me sneeze</a>.</p> \n \n<p>Occasionally, though, my poor hearing can be a real issue, such as last year when I was dating a woman whose vocal frequencies were entirely in my “I can’t hear you” range. Or the other day, when I was having a conversation with a soft-spoken European and missed 80 percent of what he was saying. </p> \n \n<p>I used to accuse the ex-girlfriend whom I referenced in my CES coverage of being half-bat, due to her ability to hear things I completely missed. But what it comes down to is this: I have no idea if my hearing is genuinely impaired, because I don’t know what normal people can hear. Sure, I unconsciously read lips, I prefer movies with closed captioning, and I often ask people to repeat themselves, but I don’t know if I have a real problem, or I’m just middle-aged.</p> \n \n<p>I was contemplating all this while listening to a podcast on my noise-reduction headphones, and thinking that it would be easiest if I could just interact with the real world in the same way. Then it occurred to me: of course I can. All I needed was an iOS app that picks up microphone audio from my iPhone earphones and plays it through in real time.</p> \n \n<p>Ten minutes later, I had downloaded Smudge Apps’ <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/megaphone/id301027232?mt=8\">Megaphone</a> from the App Store for $1.99. Megaphone is marketed to people who want to use their iOS devices as voice microphones while connected to an amplifier or radio output, but it works fine for relaying sound picked up by the iPhone’s earphone-based microphone to my weak ear as well. Their <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/megaphone-free/id304955183?mt=8\">Megaphone Free</a> does the same thing for free, as you might surmise, but at the “cost” of ads and nagware to upgrade.</p> \n \n<p>I’ve had two results: one nearly amazing, and the other quite creepy. The amazing result: the setup works perfectly. I keep one earphone in my right ear and leave the left one dangling; this avoids the visual cue that I’m listening to something and don’t want to have a conversation. The microphone on the earphones picks up any speech that’s directed to me, and Megaphone amplifies it before it hits my right eardrum. I’ve had zero issues hearing people in conversation since I’ve tried this trick.</p> \n \n<p>The only downside: Megaphone doesn’t use iOS 4 multitasking, so when I leave the app, my hearing aid disappears as well. (With Megaphone Free, accidentally tapping the huge Upgrade button switches to Safari, which also turns off the microphone.)  The ideal alternative would be an app I could run in the background in conjunction with the iPod app, so I could listen to music as well as interact with the world around me. But it’s not particularly obtrusive to fire up Megaphone as an on-demand hearing aid for a given conversation. My next experiment will be to try out a Bluetooth headset, making me into one of those oh-so-stylish people who wears one all day. (But I expect that the main reason to stick with wired earphones is that I \nwon’t have to deal with battery issues beyond the iPhone itself.)</p> \n \n<p>Which brings me to the creepy issue. Use Megaphone with the normal iPhone earphones, and the mic pickup sits just below your chin; you’ll hear only sound that’s directed at you. But switch your iPhone earphones for the standard iPod earphones, which don’t have a mic, and now you’ll be using the rather sensitive omnidirectional microphone that’s built into the iPhone and fourth-generation iPod touch.</p> \n \n<p>I tried this out for the first time while standing outside of a Starbucks, and suddenly I could hear the <em>footsteps</em> of anyone walking by. Snatches of a conversation at a 20-foot distance. I heard a siren, and then was shocked to see an ambulance pass by three blocks away. Traffic and ambient noise are also amplified, of course, but our brains have had a quarter-million years to learn how to separate out important sound frequencies, and that, plus my lip-reading abilities, turned me into a rather powerful eavesdropper. Walk into my Starbucks and observe me with my earphones in and my iPhone with the screen turned off, and you’ll probably assume I can’t hear a thing. But I can probably hear you place your order as well as the \nbarista can.</p> \n \n<p>No, I can’t listen in on your entire conversation from across the room, but I think I need to close that sentence with “just yet.” With some more experience in lip reading, I think I might be able to. More to the point, with a different app that lets me alter the sound waveform in real-time to focus on a particular voice, or with an unobtrusive directional mic (mounted on my glasses, perhaps?), this would be child’s play.</p> \n \n<p>So this experiment leaves me with two thoughts: First, for two bucks I’ve just purchased a hearing aid which works damned well.

No doubt, there will be stiff competition: Nearly one in four young professionals wants to work at Google, for instance, but there\'s more room in the Googleplex for software developers. Facebook gets 250,000 applications a year and sifts through them to find the cream of the crop, preferring those who build things, whether they\'re apps or organizations. And Apple wants, well, Apple fanboys to help create the next generation of gadgetry, but you ought to have a reference from an existing Appler.\n\nThe tech field is booming, and the industry needs bright young talent to keep innovating. Some facts:\n<ul>\n<li>An IT manager can make more than $110,000 a year</li>\n<li>Android app developers are especially coveted</li>\n<li>Data mining and statistical analysis are ideal collegiate specializations</li>\n</ul>\n\nSo, if you\'re like most other young professionals and are looking to nab a job at any of those three companies, take a gander at the infographic below. There are tips on how to optimize your resume, how to land an interview and how to impress the HR team. If you\'ve landed a job at any of these companies, feel free to offer tips and insights in the comments below.\n\n<center><div><div style=\"float:right;margin-bottom:10px;\"><a  href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&url=http://mashable.com/2011/10/01/tech-job-google-apple-facebook/\"><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/2011/10/01/tech-job-google-apple-facebook/&title=Hot%20Tips%20For%20Landing%20Jobs%20at%20Google,%20Apple%20and%20Facebook%20%5BINFOGRAPHIC%5D&related=true&style=true\"><img style=\"border:none;margin-right:5px;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/themes/v7/img/share-buttons/diggme.png\" align=\"right\" /></a>\n<a  type=\"box_count\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/10/01/tech-job-google-apple-facebook/&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/2011/10/01/tech-job-google-apple-facebook/&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/2011/10/01/tech-job-google-apple-facebook/\" align=\"right\"/></a></div><div style=\"float:left;margin-bottom:10px;\"><img src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Resized_How_To_Get_A_Job_In_Tech.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Resized_How_To_Get_A_Job_In_Tech\" width=\"972\" height=\"8719\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-752475\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>\n\n</center>\n\n<hr /><h2>Social Media Job Listings</h2><hr />\n\nEvery week we post a list of <a href=\"http://jobs.mashable.com/a/jbb/find-jobs\">social media and web job opportunities</a>.

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.

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.

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.

Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market.

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

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

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>.

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

solid reason to use its services this fall -- an unlimited data plan for the iPhone 5.\n\nSprint will become the U.S.\'s only wireless carrier to offer unlimited data for the iPhone 5, <a href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-09/sprint-is-said-to-plan-unlimited-data-with-iphone-5-to-stand-out-from-pack.html\" ><em>Bloomberg</em></a> reports, citing \"people familiar with the matter.\" Details about pricing were not disclosed. Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market. But Sprint and its investors have lately had reason to be optimistic. In addition to getting the iPhone, Sprint is also seen as a beneficiary of the Justice Department\'s lawsuit to block the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/31/u-s-seeks-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger-report//\">AT&T/T-Mobile merger</a>. \n\nHowever, you may want to take the report with a grain of salt: A similar rumor <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/25/verizon-iphone-data-plan/\">surfaced</a> before Verizon got the iPhone, which never came to pass. \n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E: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=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E: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=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E: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=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/7tCY1gaad-k\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint to Offer Unlimited Data Plan for iPhone 5 [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/&amp;title=Sprint%20to%20Offer%20Unlimited%20Data%20Plan%20for%20iPhone%205%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The financially ailing <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/sprint/\">Sprint Nextel</a> may offer consumers a solid reason to use its services this fall &#8212;

5</a> at tomorrow’s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">Cupertino launch event</a>, but it’s highly unlikely Apple would invite the press to its campus for a relatively insignificant upgrade like an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/02/iphone-4s/\">iPhone 4S</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://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5\">iPhone 5</a>.\n\nApple will unveil the follow-up to the iPhone 4, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5\">iPhone 5</a> (or perhaps, the rumored <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/02/iphone-4s/\">iPhone 4S</a>), at an event in Cupertino on Tuesday.\n\nDemand and anticipation for a new iPhone is always high, but thanks to a 16-month gap between the release of the iPhone 4 and its successor, customers are more excited about the iPhone 5 than ever.\n\nIn a <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-5-event-analysis-2011-10\" >note to investors</a>, Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White expects \"pent up demand\" for a new iPhone to \"shatter\" single day sales records. In 2010, the iPhone 4 <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/06/28iPhone-4-Sales-Top-1-7-Million.html\" >moved 1.7 million units</a> in its first three days of release and was Apple\'s most successful product launch ever. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/%20\">Apple iPhone 5 Launch: Here\'s What to Expect</a></strong></center>\n\nBeyond sheer demand, the next iPhone is expected to launch simultaneously on more wireless carriers. Not only will AT&T and Verizon get the phone in the U.S., <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/sprint-to-get-iphone-5/\">Sprint is also rumored</a> to be carrying the device. On the international front, China Mobile is reportedly in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/18/china-mobile-iphone-talks/\">negotiations to carry the iPhone 5</a>, a move that could end up with millions upon millions of new customers for the Cupertino-based company.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.cultofmac.com/120111/the-iphone-5-expected-to-shatter-single-day-sales-record/\" ><em>Cult of Mac</em></a> cites Janney Capital Markets analyst Bill Choi, who is telling investors he expects Apple to push 84 million iPhone units through the end of 2011 and up to 107 million in 2012. According to Choi, \"Apple is well positioned to capture an enormous profit pool as mobility and content worlds converge.\"\n\nI spent <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/25/iphone-4-bigger-than-elvis/\">seven hours in line</a> to get my reserved iPhone 4 last summer. My line buddy remarked that he spent less time waiting in line to get tickets to see Elvis in concert in the 1960s. At the time, I said, \"never again.\" Of course, if I can\'t snag a device online, I will be one of the thousands of people lined up outside of the 5th Avenue Apple Store.\n\nThe next iPhone is rumored to have a faster dual-core processor, a thinner profile and perhaps a larger screen. It will also feature a host of new improvements and enhancements thanks to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/31/apple-ios-5-lion-icloud-wwdc/\">iOS 5</a>, including voice recognition and discovery, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/twitter-ios-5/\">deep Twitter integration</a>, better notifications and Apple\'s new <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/icloud\">iCloud</a> platform.\n\nWill you wait in line for the iPhone 5?

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?

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.

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>So Apple has <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">made it official</a>: On Oct. 4, it is inviting the top tech media to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/25/iphone-5-event/\">Cupertino</a> for a talk about the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone\">iPhone</a>. And if it isn\'t a talk about the iPhone 5, led by <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/tim-cook-apple-ceo/\">new CEO Tim Cook</a>, we\'ll be very surprised: Apple\'s crack team of PR commandos are extremely good at steering expectations away from things that just aren\'t going to happen. \n\nSo what\'s left to wonder about? The <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/03/new-iphone-5-clue/\">exact specifications</a>, of course, and the question of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\">when you\'ll be able to get your hands on one</a>. But what about the \"one more thing?\" This staple of Steve Jobs\'s keynotes and product launches is practically an Apple trademark. It\'s also a classic showstopper move: get your audience excited about the main thing you\'re unveiling, then overwhelm and delight them with a whole other product out of left field. \n\nThe rumor mill being what it is, however, it\'s unlikely that any \"one more thing\" isn\'t something we\'ve heard whispers of already. There\'s a strong chance the event will close with the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/\">Facebook iPad app</a> we told you about Monday -- what better showstopper than Cook and Zuckerberg together on stage? Well, perhaps Apple is preparing the higher-resolution iPad we\'ve been hearing about for the closing slot. Or maybe there\'s an even bigger surprise waiting in the wings, such as a giant flatscreen Apple TV. \n\nWhat announcement will get the fabled \"one more thing\" slot? Take our poll, and let us know what you think in the comments. \n\n<center>\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http://static.polldaddy.com/p/5538280.js\"></script>\n<noscript><a href=\"http://polldaddy.com/poll/5538280/\">What \"One More Thing\" Will Apple Announce Alongside the iPhone 5?</a></noscript>\n</center>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i7kwD5bJY2ho0bC3jM4GY1rc0rM/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i7kwD5bJY2ho0bC3jM4GY1rc0rM/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i7kwD5bJY2ho0bC3jM4GY1rc0rM/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i7kwD5bJY2ho0bC3jM4GY1rc0rM/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80: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=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80: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=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80: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=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=FQOERb1ZveU:W3-0_AxNC80:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/FQOERb1ZveU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Surprise: What “One More Thing” Will Tim Cook Announce at the iPhone 5 Launch?

based on rumors and credible hints -- and it looks great. \n\nIts teardrop design makes it only 6.86 mm thick at the top and only 5.33 mm at the bottom, and it\'s a bit wider than iPhone 4 -- 59.94 mm vs. 58.6 mm -- to accommodate for the bigger, 4-inch screen.\n\nAlso, the mechanical round button on the front of the device has been changed to an oval-shaped capacitive one. \n\nNo one can say whether the new iPhone will look anything like this one -- for all we know, it might be just an improved version of the iPhone 4, but it\'s a good as guess as any, and we certainly wouldn\'t mind if Apple\'s designers had taken the device in a similar direction. \n\nCheck out the video below (in German, with English subtitles) for a walk-through of the prototype and the full gallery over at  <a

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

prototype based on rumors and credible hints - and it looks great. \n\nIts teardrop design makes it only 6.86 mm thick at the top and only 5.33 mm at the bottom, and it\'s a bit wider than iPhone 4 - 59.94 mm vs 58.6 mm, to be exact - to accommodate for the bigger, 4-inch screen.\n\nAlso, the mechanical round button on the front of the device has been changed to an oval-shaped capacitive one. \n\nNo one can say whether the new iPhone will look anything like this one - for all we know, it might be just an improved version of the iPhone 4, but it\'s a good as guess as any, and we certainly wouldn\'t mind if Apple\'s designers had taken the device in a similar direction. \n\nCheck out the video below (in German, with English subtitles) for a \"walkthrough\" of the prototype and the full gallery over at  <a href=\"http://www.giga.de/benm/2011/09/29/iphone-5-this-is-our-design-prototype/\" >Giga.de</a>.\n\n<center><iframe width=\"640\" height=\"415\"

Outside of a certain office complex in Cupertino and a few other secret places around the world, nobody knows the exact answer to that, but many are willing to guess. \n\nHere\'s a gallery that shows the top 10 attempts at predicting the future -- some educated guesses based on leaks, others wild yet beautiful stabs in the dark, and still others just wishful thinking. 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?

When he turned two, his language, cognitive abilitity and fine motor skills were diagnosed by a developmental specialist as being at least 12 months behind. Then Noah got an iPad.\n\nFour months later, his language and cognition were on par with his age level. His fine motor skills had made significant leaps. \n\nToday, the three-year-old (pictured at right with his father) spends an hour or two on his <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/ipad/\">iPad</a> each day. He switches his apps between reading and writing in English, Arabic and Spanish. In the fall, he\'ll enter a classroom of five-year-olds. \"The iPad unlocked his motivation and his desire because it\'s fun,\" says his dad Sami Rahman, co-founder of <a href=\"http://www.snapps4kids.com/\" >SNApps4Kids</a>, a community of parents, therapists and educators sharing their experiences using the iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and Android to help children with special needs.\n\nSNApps4Kids taps into a burgeoning trend for people with disabilities. Touch devices — most notably the iPad — are revolutionizing the lives of children, adults and seniors with special needs. Rahman estimates some 40,000 apps have been developed for this demographic. \n\n\"Touch has made it exceptionally accessible — everyone has an iPad, everyone has an iPod,\" says Michelle Diament, cofounder of <a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/\" >Disability Scoop</a>, a source for news relating to developmental disabilities. \"If you\'re someone with a disability, having something that other people are using makes you feel like part of the in-crowd.\"\n\nFor people lacking motor skills, touch screens are more intuitive devices. There is no mouse, keyboard or pen intercepting their communication with the screen. Larger platforms, like iPads, are preferred over smaller <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/ios/\">iOS</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/android/\">Android</a> devices for ease-of-use and, of course, the cool factor. \n\nHere are four ways that touch devices are changing the lives of people with disabilities:\n\n<hr /><h2>1. As a Communicator </h2><hr />\n\nBefore the iPad and other similar devices, using touch-to-speak technology was incredibly expensive, costing around $8,000. Now, it only costs $499 for an iPad and $189.99 for a thorough touch-to-speak app like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/proloquo2go/id308368164?mt=8\" >Proloquo2Go</a>.\n\nThat relative affordability has made the technology more available for children and adults that can\'t use their voice. With the simple touch of an iPad, a hungry non-verbal person can communicate exactly what he or she would like to eat. Those apps can then be customized with photos or features to suit an individual\'s life and needs.\n\nAnother option is <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/assistive-chat/id379891874?mt=8\" >Assistive Chat</a>, which predicts several sentence completion options. For the most severely disabled people, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yes-no-free/id284722833?mt=8\" >Yes|No</a> is a simple app that allows individuals to voice their preference in yes-or-no responses.\n\n\"It gives dignity back to people who are more disabled,\" says Vicki Windham, a special education teacher in the Clarkstown Central School District who trains people of all ages to make the most of their iPads. Windham <a href=\"http://ipadappsclarkstown.wikispaces.com/\" >reviews apps</a> for people with a variety of special needs. \n\nFor hard-of-hearing iPad users, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soundamp-r/id318126109?mt=8\" >soundAmp R</a> amplifies sound in a variety of situations. Users can also record lectures or presentations they want to listen to again later.\n\n<hr /><h2>2. As a Therapeutic Device</h2><hr />\n\nSNApps4Kids co-founder Cristen Reat\'s son Vincent was born with Down syndrome, which can also lead to low-muscle mass. While he can walk, Reat describes his son as a Buddha that prefers to sit still most of the time. Throughout his life, Vincent\'s therapists and parents have tried to help him be more active. It was not until his physical therapist placed an iPad on a treadmill that Vincent was motivated to walk. He now stays on for nine and a half minutes, interacting with his iPad while he\'s in motion.\n\nIn addition to increasing his gross motor ability to walk, Vincent\'s iPad has helped his fine motor skills. For Vincent, computers and older technology required visual shifting — between a mouse or keyboard and the screen. On an iPad, Vincent can watch as one of his fingers writes directly on the screen to make selections. \n\nSimilarly, Noah Rahman has shown motor improvement. After playing the <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elmo-loves-abcs-for-ipad/id426747278?mt=8\" >Elmo Loves ABCs</a> app on his iPad, he can write the entire alphabet, requiring sophisticated finger isolation. As a three-year-old, this puts him well above his grade level. \"First it was \'do it for me,\' then it was \'do it with me,\' now he does it by himself,\" says Noah\'s father.\n\n<hr /><h2>3. As an Educational Tool</h2><hr /> \n\nYears ago, one of Jeremy Brown\'s autistic elementary school students picked up his iPhone off his desk and began navigating the iOS with ease. \"It\'s like a fish to water,\" says Brown, a teacher for autistic elementary school students, of his students\' interactions with touch technology.\n\nBrown is immersed in online discussions of technology and special education, moderating the Facebook group <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/iTeachSpecialEducation\" >iTeach Special Education</a>, collaborating on the podcast <a href=\"http://edreach.us/category/edceptional/\" >EdCeptional</a> and coauthoring the blog <a href=\"http://teachingall.blogspot.com/\" >Teaching All Students</a>. While use of the iPad in classrooms is not yet approved in his school district, he believes the iPad is a great supplemental method of instruction, estimating 80% to 90% of his students with autism see great results when using iOS devices. Brown hopes his school district and others across the country will approve iPads in the classroom.\n\nWhile no one advocates replacing traditional instruction, a number of apps do address academic subjects from math to language to reading and writing. In October 2010, Apple even featured an \"<a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/10/26/sped-app-store/10918/\" >Apps for Special Education</a>\" section in the App Store.\n\nBrown encourages parents to separate their children\'s recreational uses of the iPad from those in the classroom. Some students may watch <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a> videos on the school bus but while they\'re at school they know Mr. Brown\'s iPads are only for education.\n\n<hr /><h2>4. As a Behavior Monitor</h2><hr />\n\n<a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/behaviortrackerpro/id319708933?mt=8\" >Behavior Tracker Pro</a> is a popular app for parents, therapists and teachers to quantify the behavioral progress of children with special needs. In addition to taking notes, good and bad behaviors can be video recorded and later reviewed. The app automatically turns that input into visual graphs and charts.\n\nHigh school teacher Vicki Windman notes that the iPad can also be a great way to strengthen and reinforce memory for seniors with Alzheimer\'s or memory loss. Still, she warns that touch technology is not a miracle drug: \"You\'re not curing Alzheimer\'s. Parents challenge me all the time — they want a cure. It\'s no cure.\"\n\nThat doesn\'t mean it can\'t help. Apps like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/medication-reminder/id365563275?mt=8\" >Medication Reminder</a> tell users when it\'s time to take medication. <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/memory-practice/id392290516?mt=8\" taret=\"_blank\">Memory Practice</a>, a memory strengthening app, was created for the developer\'s mother shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer\'s. Windman\'s father uses an app called <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nudge/id392734752?mt=8\" >Nudge</a>, which gives him a persistent reminder every fifteen minutes to accomplish lapsed tasks on his to-do list.\n\n<hr /><h2>Long-Roads Ahead</h2><hr />\n\nDespite these successes, SNApps4Kids cofounder Cristen Reat recommends a measured approach. \"Just because you buy a device doesn\'t mean it\'s going to change anything,\" she says.\n\nRahman agrees. He says that viewing the iPad as the solution is the backwards approach. \"We are big advocates that the user needs to understand the objectives first before you pick the technology,\" Rahman says. \"We\'re not just putting [our son] in front of an iPad and walking away.

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

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.

And if it isn\'t a talk about the iPhone 5, led by <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/tim-cook-apple-ceo/\">new CEO Tim Cook</a>, we\'ll be very surprised: Apple\'s crack team of PR commandos are extremely good at steering expectations away from things that just aren\'t going to happen. \n\nSo what\'s left to wonder about? The <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/03/new-iphone-5-clue/\">exact specifications</a>, of course, and the question of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\">when you\'ll be able to get your hands on one</a>. But what about the \"one more thing?\" This staple of Steve Jobs\'s keynotes and product launches is practically an Apple trademark. It\'s also a classic showstopper move: get your audience excited about the main thing you\'re unveiling, then overwhelm and delight them with a whole other product out of left field. \n\nThe rumor mill being what it is, however, it\'s unlikely that any \"one more thing\" isn\'t something we\'ve heard whispers of already. There\'s a strong chance the event will close with the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/\">Facebook iPad app</a> we told you about Monday -- what better showstopper than Cook and Zuckerberg together on stage? Well, perhaps Apple is preparing the higher-resolution iPad we\'ve been hearing about for the closing slot. Or maybe there\'s an even bigger surprise waiting in the wings, such as a giant flatscreen Apple TV. \n\nWhat announcement will get the fabled \"one more thing\" slot?

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/bHl9WkSTmrVhSZ1Lzk5dis-ivxM/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bHl9WkSTmrVhSZ1Lzk5dis-ivxM/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bHl9WkSTmrVhSZ1Lzk5dis-ivxM/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bHl9WkSTmrVhSZ1Lzk5dis-ivxM/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: Top 10 Mockups [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?

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.
