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

Now, it\'s experiencing similarly fast growth in Europe. \n\nAccording to comScore\'s latest report, which measures smartphone adoption rates in EU5 -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- Android has grown an amazing 16.2% between July 2010 and July 2011, which propelled it to second place on the top smartphone platform list. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/nokia/\">Nokia</a>\'s dying <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/symbian/\">Symbian</a> is still number one, but its market share has shrunk considerably in this same period, and there\'s no reason to believe this trend will change. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios/\">iOS</a> is number three on the list, with moderate growth - only 1.2% year-over-year. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/rim/\">RIM</a>\'s growth was similar to Apple\'s, and it was only enough to put its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/blackberry/\">BlackBerry</a> platform firmly in fourth place. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/microsoft/\">Microsoft</a> lost 4.8% and settled in fifth place. The Redmond giant can only find some comfort in hoping that Nokia\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-phone-7/\">Windows Phone 7</a> devices, due to start appearing on the market at the end of this year, will reverse this trend. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_comscore_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_comscore_eu5\" width=\"515\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733001\" />\n\n</center>\n\nAll of this paints quite a clear picture: In these European markets, Symbian users are mostly switching to Android devices. As Symbian\'s market share plunges toward zero, if the current trends continue, we\'ll see Android grabbing an even bigger size of the market in the near future. \n\ncomScore also has a nice breakdown of Android smartphone manufacturers\' individual market shares. HTC is leading the pack with a 34.6% share, followed by Samsung with 31.7%, with Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola grabbing places three to five. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_android_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_android_eu5\" width=\"639\" height=\"289\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733011\" />\n\n</center>\n\nRead the full report <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/Android_Captures_number_2_Ranking_Among_Smartphone_Platforms_in_EU5\" >here</a>. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/mhz0jqgbHBk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Android Makes Big Gains on iOS in Europe [STATS]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;title=Android%20Makes%20Big%20Gains%20on%20iOS%20in%20Europe%20%5BSTATS%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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year.

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

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

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

While the photo looks like a simple plate of sushi, its EXIF data reveals that there is more to this photo than meets the eye.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/02/iphone-5-rumors-3/\">iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nThe EXIF data says the photo was taken with an iPhone 4, but several things don\'t fit with what we know about that version of the iPhone. First, the original picture was taken with a 3264x2448 pixel resolution (approximately 8 megapixels) and cropped to 2235x2291 (approximately 5 megapixels). The iPhone 4 is a 5 megapixel device, so it wouldn\'t be capable of taking a 3264x2448 photo. \n\nThe second piece of evidence is that the photo was taken with a 4.3mm f/2.4 lens. The iPhone 4 has a 3.85mm f/2.8 lens.\n\nThe photo was also likely taken at Apple HQ. Its GPS data pinpoints the photo\'s origin to 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA -- which, as every geek knows, happens to be the address of Apple headquarters.\n\nD\'Auria\'s Flickr account has since been made private, but the image is already widely available online. While it\'s possible the image is a fake (EXIF data can be altered rather easily), we doubt an Apple engineer would make so many EXIF changes to an iPhone 4 picture. If the photo is indeed from an iPhone 5, expect an 8MP camera with the quality of a point-and-shoot on iPhones in the next month or so. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/NlzL-XIK2hg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5 Sushi Snap?

HTC has a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/06/samsung-htc-apple-smartphone-market/\">smartphone market share of 9%</a> and growing fast. At some Verizon stores, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/01/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-iphone/\">according to one poll,</a> the HTC Thunderbolt has been outselling the iPhone 4.  \n\nNow comes Fichter, launching a broadside against one of the iPhone\'s strongest defenses: the elusive sense of \"cool.\" It\'s a risky strategy, especially given the anticipation swirling around the impending iPhone 5 launch. Presenting your daughter\'s college dorm as representative of a wider trend, especially when the whole world is waiting for Apple\'s next phone, seems a sure-fire route to ridicule. \n\nOn the other hand, Fichter has a point: iPhone owners tend to be older and more affluent, largely because their device is more expensive than the average Android equivalent. According to a <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/iphone-vs-android-users_n_928275.html\">recent infographic</a> from recommendation engine Hunch, Android owners tend to have only a high school diploma and to be aged between 18 and 34 -- the cool years, as far as most marketers are concerned. \n\nCan HTC outmaneuver Apple by attempting to marginalize the iPhone? Or will the iPhone 5 launch blow that idea out of the water? Let us know what you think in the comments. \n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/q_cbNr0qMFY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhones Are For Old People, Says HTC Chief','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;title=iPhones%20Are%20For%20Old%20People,%20Says%20HTC%20Chief&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS are the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">two top-selling phones</a> in America.

next month. More people are likely to buy the iPhone 5 than were ready to put their money down for an iPhone 4 before that launched, according to a survey of 2,200 potential cellphone buyers.\n\nThe survey, conducted last month for <a href=\"http://alliance.changewave.com/iphone2.htm\" >ChangeWave Research</a>, shows that 31% of customers who are currently shopping for a new phone consider it \"very likely\" (13%) or \"somewhat likely\" (18%) they will end up with an <a href=http://mashable.com/category/iphone/%E2%80%9D>iPhone</a> 5 in their hands. Compare that with the numbers for the iPhone 4 -- 12% and 13% respectively -- and what you have is a level of pent-up demand that is unprecedented in surveys like this. \n\nOf course, that\'s largely a function of the fact that we\'ve had to wait so long for the iPhone 5. Its predecessor is nearly 15 months old at this stage; that\'s a lifetime in cellphone years. Some 66% of current iPhone owners say they plan to upgrade to the new model, sight unseen. That includes a whole lot of iPhone 3GS users -- myself included -- who opted to skip a generation. \n\nThere\'s also some interesting news for Sprint in the survey: 54% of their subscribers say they are \"significantly likely\" or \"somewhat more likely\" to buy the iPhone 5, which reports suggest will be <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">launched on Sprint complete with an unlimited data plan</a>, of the kind that AT&T and Verizon no longer offer. But it may be a case of being careful what you wish for.

SoftBank joins Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sherpalo Ventures in backing InMobi. \n\nWith the investment, the Bangalore, India-based InMobi will have more ammunition to take on Google, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/11/09/google-acquires-admob/\">bought AdMob</a>, another mobile ad network, in 2009 for $750 million, and Apple, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/01/04/apple-quattro-wireless/\">bought Quattro Wireless</a> in early 2010 for $275 million.  \n\nDespite the investment, mobile advertising is still a fairly small market. The total spend for such advertising is projected to hit $1.1 billion in the U.S. this year, <a href=\"http://www.emarketer.com/blog/index.php/stat-day-mobile-ad-spending-reach-11-billion-2011/\" >according to eMarketer</a>.

More people are likely to buy the iPhone 5 than were ready to put their money down for an iPhone 4 before that launched, according to a survey of 2,200 potential cellphone buyers.\n\nThe survey, conducted last month for <a href=\"http://alliance.changewave.com/iphone2.htm\" >ChangeWave Research</a>, shows that 31% of customers who are currently shopping for a new phone consider it \"very likely\" (13%) or \"somewhat likely\" (18%) they will end up with an <a href=http://mashable.com/category/iphone/%E2%80%9D>iPhone</a> 5 in their hands. Compare that with the numbers for the iPhone 4 -- 12% and 13% respectively -- and what you have is a level of pent-up demand that is unprecedented in surveys like this. \n\nOf course, that\'s largely a function of the fact that we\'ve had to wait so long for the iPhone 5. Its predecessor is nearly 15 months old at this stage; that\'s a lifetime in cellphone years. Some 66% of current iPhone owners say they plan to upgrade to the new model, sight unseen. That includes a whole lot of iPhone 3GS users -- myself included -- who opted to skip a generation. \n\nThere\'s also some interesting news for Sprint in the survey: 54% of their subscribers say they are \"significantly likely\" or \"somewhat more likely\" to buy the iPhone 5, which reports suggest will be <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">launched on Sprint complete with an unlimited data plan</a>, of the kind that AT&T and Verizon no longer offer. But it may be a case of being careful what you wish for. If current iPhone usage is any indication, the amount of bandwidth those customers will suck up may be more than Sprint can profitably afford. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/29/iphone-4th-anniversary-infographic/\" >Happy 4th Anniversary, iPhone [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\n<img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/RBCstudy.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RBCstudy\" width=\"640\" height=\"\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-734417\" /><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw: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=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw: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=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw: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=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/5NUaELLC0Y8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5: Expect Stronger Demand Than Ever [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/&amp;title=iPhone%205:%20Expect%20Stronger%20Demand%20Than%20Ever%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/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> Turns out the tech press isn\'t alone in lusting over the phone <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> is expected to unveil within the next month.

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.

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

I remember I tried to send a card while I was in France, and the just as I&#8217;d pained my way through Paypal to pay for a card, the wifi crapped out, and I had to start all over again. And if you wanted to send another card &#8211; same process. I gave up sending Touchnote postcards after that.</p>\n<p>But the new version of the app? Superb. </p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a very simple interface to add a photo, caption, text, address (more than one if required), and an optional Google map showing where the photo was taken. The interface has been simplified and expanded &#8211; so you can now crop, zoom and rotate your photos.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4578\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 210px\"><a href=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/photo.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/photo-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Touchnote iPhone app interface\" title=\"Touchnote iPhone app interface\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4578\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Touchnote iPhone app interface</p></div>\n<p>However it&#8217;s the payment that&#8217;s way easier. You can now log in with your Touchnote account, just as on <a href=\"http://www.touchnote.com/\">touchnote.com</a>. So if you&#8217;re in credit, there&#8217;s zero friction to sending cards. It just depletes one credit per card. You can also buy credits from within the app using Paypal or credit/debit card, both with native interfaces. This alone means I&#8217;ll be sending quite a few cards. At £1.49 a pop, it&#8217;s not much more than the cost of getting a photo printed out and posted, and certainly a lot less hassle.</p>\n<p>I would love to see Touchnote continue to improve:</p>\n<p>* You can send cards to multiple people, but sometimes it&#8217;s not just a case of adding another address &#8211; I&#8217;d like to be able to edit the text. So I want to be able to re-open a postcard that I&#8217;ve already sent. </p>\n<p>* You also can&#8217;t save a card in draft to edit later, unless you hit Send then Cancel. </p>\n<p>* The ability to move the caption around and resize it would be good</p>\n<p>* There&#8217;s no in-app purchasing, which would make payment even easier, but Apple doesn&#8217;t allow physical goods to be purchased in-app.</p>\n<p>* Maybe integration with Facebook or other sources to print and send photos from there? <em>EDIT:  I&#8217;ve just found out that Facebook integration is coming soon. Result.</em></p>\n<p>It has been a long wait for a decent upgrade since the app was released, but the new version is great. The only real problem I have with Touchnote now is that I may never have to say &#8220;Deux timbres pour l&#8217;Angleterre&#8221; again!</p>\n<p><strong>Touchnote</strong><br />\nVersion reviewed: v2.0<br />\nCategory: Photography<br />\nDeveloper: Touchnote Ltd.<br />\nPrice (at time of review): Free to download, £1.49 per card<br />\nPlatforms: iPhone (version reviewed), iPod Touch<br />\n<a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/touchnote-postcards/id325525543?mt=8\">UK App Store Link</a></p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/allaboutiphonedotnet/~4/SyYGl1RPIV8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Finally!

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 the real key.\"\n\n<em>Image courtesy of Sami Rahman.</em><p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/social-good/\">Social Good</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Social Good on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Social Good 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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/arAuVPyXU3Y\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','4 Ways iPads Are Changing the Lives of People With Disabilities','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;title=4%20Ways%20iPads%20Are%20Changing%20the%20Lives%20of%20People%20With%20Disabilities&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/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Noah Rahman has moderate Cerebral Palsy affecting his communication, cognition and upper and lower body movement.

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 the real key.\"\n\n<em>Image courtesy of Sami Rahman.</em><p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/social-good/\">Social Good</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Social Good on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Social Good 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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/arAuVPyXU3Y\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','4 Ways iPads Are Changing the Lives of People With Disabilities','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;title=4%20Ways%20iPads%20Are%20Changing%20the%20Lives%20of%20People%20With%20Disabilities&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/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Noah Rahman has moderate Cerebral Palsy affecting his communication, cognition and upper and lower body movement.

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.

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 the real key.\"\n\n<em>Image courtesy of Sami Rahman.</em><p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/social-good/\">Social Good</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Social Good on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Social Good 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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/arAuVPyXU3Y\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','4 Ways iPads Are Changing the Lives of People With Disabilities','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;title=4%20Ways%20iPads%20Are%20Changing%20the%20Lives%20of%20People%20With%20Disabilities&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/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Noah Rahman has moderate Cerebral Palsy affecting his communication, cognition and upper and lower body movement.

Now, it\'s experiencing similarly fast growth in Europe. \n\nAccording to comScore\'s latest report, which measures smartphone adoption rates in EU5 -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- Android has grown an amazing 16.2% between July 2010 and July 2011, which propelled it to second place on the top smartphone platform list. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/nokia/\">Nokia</a>\'s dying <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/symbian/\">Symbian</a> is still number one, but its market share has shrunk considerably in this same period, and there\'s no reason to believe this trend will change. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios/\">iOS</a> is number three on the list, with moderate growth - only 1.2% year-over-year. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/rim/\">RIM</a>\'s growth was similar to Apple\'s, and it was only enough to put its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/blackberry/\">BlackBerry</a> platform firmly in fourth place. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/microsoft/\">Microsoft</a> lost 4.8% and settled in fifth place. The Redmond giant can only find some comfort in hoping that Nokia\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-phone-7/\">Windows Phone 7</a> devices, due to start appearing on the market at the end of this year, will reverse this trend. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_comscore_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_comscore_eu5\" width=\"515\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733001\" />\n\n</center>\n\nAll of this paints quite a clear picture: In these European markets, Symbian users are mostly switching to Android devices. As Symbian\'s market share plunges toward zero, if the current trends continue, we\'ll see Android grabbing an even bigger size of the market in the near future. \n\ncomScore also has a nice breakdown of Android smartphone manufacturers\' individual market shares. HTC is leading the pack with a 34.6% share, followed by Samsung with 31.7%, with Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola grabbing places three to five. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_android_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_android_eu5\" width=\"639\" height=\"289\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733011\" />\n\n</center>\n\nRead the full report <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/Android_Captures_number_2_Ranking_Among_Smartphone_Platforms_in_EU5\" >here</a>. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/mhz0jqgbHBk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Android Makes Big Gains on iOS in Europe [STATS]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;title=Android%20Makes%20Big%20Gains%20on%20iOS%20in%20Europe%20%5BSTATS%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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year.

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

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

Now, it\'s experiencing similarly fast growth in Europe. \n\nAccording to comScore\'s latest report, which measures smartphone adoption rates in EU5 -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- Android has grown an amazing 16.2% between July 2010 and July 2011, which propelled it to second place on the top smartphone platform list. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/nokia/\">Nokia</a>\'s dying <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/symbian/\">Symbian</a> is still number one, but its market share has shrunk considerably in this same period, and there\'s no reason to believe this trend will change. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios/\">iOS</a> is number three on the list, with moderate growth - only 1.2% year-over-year. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/rim/\">RIM</a>\'s growth was similar to Apple\'s, and it was only enough to put its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/blackberry/\">BlackBerry</a> platform firmly in fourth place. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/microsoft/\">Microsoft</a> lost 4.8% and settled in fifth place. The Redmond giant can only find some comfort in hoping that Nokia\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-phone-7/\">Windows Phone 7</a> devices, due to start appearing on the market at the end of this year, will reverse this trend. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_comscore_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_comscore_eu5\" width=\"515\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733001\" />\n\n</center>\n\nAll of this paints quite a clear picture: In these European markets, Symbian users are mostly switching to Android devices. As Symbian\'s market share plunges toward zero, if the current trends continue, we\'ll see Android grabbing an even bigger size of the market in the near future. \n\ncomScore also has a nice breakdown of Android smartphone manufacturers\' individual market shares. HTC is leading the pack with a 34.6% share, followed by Samsung with 31.7%, with Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola grabbing places three to five. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_android_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_android_eu5\" width=\"639\" height=\"289\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733011\" />\n\n</center>\n\nRead the full report <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/Android_Captures_number_2_Ranking_Among_Smartphone_Platforms_in_EU5\" >here</a>. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/mhz0jqgbHBk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Android Makes Big Gains on iOS in Europe [STATS]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;title=Android%20Makes%20Big%20Gains%20on%20iOS%20in%20Europe%20%5BSTATS%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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year.

Unfortunately, the only visible result for consumers thus far is less choice when shopping for a tablet or a smartphone. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/patent-wars-infographi/\">Patent Wars: A New Age of Competition [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nAlso, check out our gallery comparing the two companies’ products below. \n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>The Original iPhone</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17161The-Original-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The Original iPhone\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone1.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung BlackJack 2 </h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17201Samsung-BlackJack-2\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung BlackJack 2 \" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/blackjack-2-att.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the smartphone Samsung was selling in 2007, the BlackJack 2.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Galaxy S</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17177Samsung-Galaxy-S\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/i9000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the Samsung Galaxy S, which debuted in 2010.</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17159The-iPhone-3G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3G\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone-3g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2008, the iPhone 3G differed only slightly from its predecessor but had a slightly different back/side-housing.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Showcase i500</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17183Samsung-Showcase-i500\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Showcase i500\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/showcase-i500.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The Samsung Showcase i500 was released in 2011 and shares similarities with the form factor and aesthetic of the iPhone 3G.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3GS</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17163The-iPhone-3GS\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3GS\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone3gs-front-back.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2009, the iPhone 3GS looks identical to the iPhone 3G, but was significantly faster under the hood.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Verizon Droid Charge</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17169Verizon-Droid-Charge\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Verizon Droid Charge\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/droid-charge.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple amended its lawsuit against Samsung to include the recently released Droid Charge in the list of infringing devices.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Sprint Epic 4G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/samsung-sues-apple-france/#17171Sprint-Epic-4G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Sprint Epic 4G\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/epic-4g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Sprint\'s version of the Galaxy S was the only version to include a slide-out keyboard.

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

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

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

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. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/KnmZkU2gL_w\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Cancels Store Leave, Confirms iPhone 5 Launch Window [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;title=Sprint%20Cancels%20Store%20Leave,%20Confirms%20iPhone%205%20Launch%20Window%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Remember when a company memo telling employees they can\'t take any time off in a two-week period was an occasion for gloom?

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<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a

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

Samsung released its first tablet, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-2/\">Galaxy Tab</a>, in September 2010. Though the product had positive reviews when it launched, more than one in 10 purchasers <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/02/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-returns/\">returned the device</a> within a month. Samsung remade the device as the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/22/galaxy-tabs/\">Galaxy Tab 10.1</a>. \n\nThat product, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-nyc/\">hit U.S. stores in June</a>, has been the subject of an Apple patent infringement lawsuit in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">Europe</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/01/apple-samsung-australia/\">Australia</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/\">Japan</a>.

even thinner and lighter, thanks to an improved battery pack.\n\nAccording to <em>Taiwan Economic News</em>, two suppliers of iPad and Macbook batteries, Simplo Technology Co. and Dynapack International Technology Corp., are ready to produce the new pack as early as Q4 2011, with mass production expected in the first quarter of 2012. \n\nThe new batteries will make the iPad thinner and lighter and extend its battery life, but they will also come at a 20-30% bigger price point because of the advanced technology used. Hopefully this will not mean a bigger price for the end product as well. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://cens.com/cens/html/en/news/news_inner_37633.html\" ><em>Taiwan Economic News</em></a>]<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ: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=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ: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=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ: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=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=hj-R4PyS19g:tmz8xAI4XJQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/hj-R4PyS19g\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','New iPad to Feature a Thinner, Lighter Battery [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/07/ipad-thinner-lighter-battery/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/07/ipad-thinner-lighter-battery/&amp;title=New%20iPad%20to%20Feature%20a%20Thinner,%20Lighter%20Battery%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/2011/09/07/ipad-thinner-lighter-battery/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/07/ipad-thinner-lighter-battery/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad/\">iPad</a> 2 is already a very thin device -- 0.34 inches, to be exact -- but the next generation might be even thinner and lighter, thanks to an&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15052-revision-17','','','2011-09-07 09:20:25','2011-09-07 09:20:25','',15052,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15205',0,'revision','',0),(15206,73,'2011-09-06 16:50:48','2011-09-06 16:50:48','<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"390\" align=\"center\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ia4joyGYG_A\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nComedic songwriters <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/pantlessknights\" >Pantless Knights</a> are at it again with a new, tech-related tribute video honoring <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/steve-jobs/\">Steve Jobs</a>. \n\nThe video, produced by <a href=\"http://seedwell.com/\" >Seedwell</a>, re-works a popular Jay-Z song \"<a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIJjK3IV3E0&feature=youtu.be\" >What More Can I Say</a>\" from <em>The Black Album</em>.

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> is opening its first official store in Hong Kong this month, <em>Bloomberg</em> reports. The store will be in the International Finance Center Mall. Apple has said the store will open sometime this quarter; local news outlet <em>Ming Pao Daily</em> says more specifically that the 20,000-square-foot store will open on Sept. 24. \n\nThe shop will only be Apple\'s fifth store in China. Out of the current <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/\" >four stores</a>, two are in Beijing and two are in Shanghai. According to <em><a href=\"http://www.mingpao.com/\" >Ming Pao</a></em>, which doesn\'t cite any sources, Apple plans to open two more stores in Hong Kong in the future. \n\nApple has been rapidly expanding in China, although it was initially slow to move into the enormous Chinese market. It wasn\'t until <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/10/27/apple-china-online-store/\">October 2010</a> that Apple opened its online store to Chinese customers. Lately, however, Apple\'s push into Asia has paid off with dividends. In the second quarter of 2011, Apple\'s sales in greater China (which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan) <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/18/apple-lenovo-china/\">passed</a> those of Lenovo for the first time.\n\nIn China, however, Apple has a lot of intellectual property headaches. Recently, Chinese authorities closed several <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/fake-apple-shops-china-closed/\">fake Apple stores</a> in the city of Kunming after a <a href=\"http://birdabroad.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/are-you-listening-steve-jobs/\" >blog post</a> exposed their existence to the media. \n\n<em>Image courtesy of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.istockphoto.com/mashableoffer.php\">iStockphoto</a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.istockphoto.com/user_view.php?id=2314488\">Bo1982</a></em>\n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-09-06/apple-to-open-first-hong-kong-store-as-china-demand-surges.html\" ><em>Bloomberg</em></a>]<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg: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=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg: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=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg: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=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/YnXxak1S0UY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Is Opening a Store in Hong Kong This Month','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/&amp;title=Apple%20Is%20Opening%20a%20Store%20in%20Hong%20Kong%20This%20Month&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/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> is opening its first official store in Hong Kong this month, <em>Bloomberg</em> reports.

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

That means the current quad core Core i7 chips in the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros could be replaced by faster versions:\n\n2.0 GHz -- 2.4 GHz (19.9% faster clock speed)\n\n2.2 GHz -- 2.5 GHz (13.6% faster clock speed)\n\n2.3 GHz -- 2.7 GHz (17.39% faster clock speed)\n\nThose are all quad-core chips; the dual-core Core i7 processor now in the 13-inch MacBook Pro could get a speed bump, from 2.7 GHz up to 2.8 GHz.\n\nAccording to the report, these faster processors could keep <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s laptops speedy enough to satisfy users until Intel\'s faster <a href=\"http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ivy-bridge-sandy-launch-processors,12828.html\" >\"Ivy Bridge\" chips</a> come along in March or April 2012. \n\nIn addition to a speed increase, we\'re hoping the 2012 MacBook Pros will look a lot more like the MacBook Air, except with 15- and 17-inch screens and faster graphics.

href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year. Now, it\'s experiencing similarly fast growth in Europe. \n\nAccording to comScore\'s latest report, which measures smartphone adoption rates in EU5 -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- Android has grown an amazing 16.2% between July 2010 and July 2011, which propelled it to second place on the top smartphone platform list. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/nokia/\">Nokia</a>\'s dying <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/symbian/\">Symbian</a> is still number one, but its market share has shrunk considerably in this same period, and there\'s no reason to believe this trend will change. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios/\">iOS</a> is number three on the list, with moderate growth - only 1.2% year-over-year. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/rim/\">RIM</a>\'s growth was similar to Apple\'s, and it was only enough to put its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/blackberry/\">BlackBerry</a> platform firmly in fourth place. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/microsoft/\">Microsoft</a> lost 4.8% and settled in fifth place. The Redmond giant can only find some comfort in hoping that Nokia\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-phone-7/\">Windows Phone 7</a> devices, due to start appearing on the market at the end of this year, will reverse this trend. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_comscore_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_comscore_eu5\" width=\"515\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733001\" />\n\n</center>\n\nAll of this paints quite a clear picture: In these European markets, Symbian users are mostly switching to Android devices. As Symbian\'s market share plunges toward zero, if the current trends continue, we\'ll see Android grabbing an even bigger size of the market in the near future. \n\ncomScore also has a nice breakdown of Android smartphone manufacturers\' individual market shares. HTC is leading the pack with a 34.6% share, followed by Samsung with 31.7%, with Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola grabbing places three to five. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_android_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_android_eu5\" width=\"639\" height=\"289\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733011\" />\n\n</center>\n\nRead the full report <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/Android_Captures_number_2_Ranking_Among_Smartphone_Platforms_in_EU5\" >here</a>. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/mhz0jqgbHBk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Android Makes Big Gains on iOS in Europe [STATS]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;title=Android%20Makes%20Big%20Gains%20on%20iOS%20in%20Europe%20%5BSTATS%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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year.

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

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

spoke with <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/13/apple_may_surprise_with_late_2011_macbook_pro_refresh.html\" ><em>AppleInsider</em></a>. \n\nLast week, Intel rolled out faster versions of its Sandy Bridge processors, the class of chips currently used in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/macbook-pro/\">MacBook Pro</a>. That means the current quad core Core i7 chips in the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros could be replaced by faster versions:\n\n2.0 GHz -- 2.4 GHz (19.9% faster clock speed)\n\n2.2 GHz -- 2.5 GHz (13.6% faster clock speed)\n\n2.3 GHz -- 2.7 GHz (17.39% faster clock speed)\n\nThose are all quad-core chips; the dual-core Core i7 processor now in the 13-inch MacBook Pro could get a speed bump, from 2.7 GHz up to 2.8 GHz.\n\nAccording to the report, these faster processors could keep <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s laptops speedy enough to satisfy users until Intel\'s faster <a href=\"http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ivy-bridge-sandy-launch-processors,12828.html\" >\"Ivy Bridge\" chips</a> come along in March or April 2012. \n\nIn addition to a speed increase, we\'re hoping the 2012 MacBook Pros will look a lot more like the MacBook Air, except with 15- and 17-inch screens and faster graphics. It could happen -- given the credible reports of a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/26/macbook-air-15-inch/\">15-inch MacBook Pro/Air hybrid</a> we heard this summer, such a laptop could be ready by the end of this year.\n\nWhat would you like to see in the next MacBook Pros? Let us know in the comments.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/13/apple_may_surprise_with_late_2011_macbook_pro_refresh.html\" ><em>AppleInsider</em></a>]<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g: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=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g: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=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g: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=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=VezdDhrr1xc:P0XxAKkP99g:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/VezdDhrr1xc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Faster MacBook Pros Could Hit Stores This Month [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/faster-macbook-pros/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/faster-macbook-pros/&amp;title=Faster%20MacBook%20Pros%20Could%20Hit%20Stores%20This%20Month%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/2011/09/13/faster-macbook-pros/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/faster-macbook-pros/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>\n\n\n\nThe Apple MacBook Pro line of laptops will be equipped with faster processors by the end of the month, according to a well-placed so&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15215-revision-9','','','2011-09-13 22:31:15','2011-09-13 22:31:15','',15215,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15275',0,'revision','',0),(15276,8,'2011-09-13 14:13:57','2011-09-13 14:13:57','<div><div style=\"float:right;margin-bottom:10px;\"><a  href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\"><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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&title=Android%20Makes%20Big%20Gains%20on%20iOS%20in%20Europe%20%5BSTATS%5D&related=true&style=true\"><img style=\"border:none;margin-right:5px;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/themes/v7/img/share-buttons/diggme.png\" align=\"right\" /></a>\n<a  type=\"box_count\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\" align=\"right\"/></a></div><div style=\"float:left;margin-bottom:10px;\"><img src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/android-everywhere-360.jpg\" class=\"alignright\" height=\"\" width=\"275\"></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year. Now, it\'s experiencing similarly fast growth in Europe. \n\nAccording to comScore\'s latest report, which measures smartphone adoption rates in EU5 -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- Android has grown an amazing 16.2% between July 2010 and July 2011, which propelled it to second place on the top smartphone platform list. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/nokia/\">Nokia</a>\'s dying <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/symbian/\">Symbian</a> is still number one, but its market share has shrunk considerably in this same period, and there\'s no reason to believe this trend will change. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios/\">iOS</a> is number three on the list, with moderate growth - only 1.2% year-over-year. \n\n<a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/rim/\">RIM</a>\'s growth was similar to Apple\'s, and it was only enough to put its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/blackberry/\">BlackBerry</a> platform firmly in fourth place. <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/microsoft/\">Microsoft</a> lost 4.8% and settled in fifth place. The Redmond giant can only find some comfort in hoping that Nokia\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/windows-phone-7/\">Windows Phone 7</a> devices, due to start appearing on the market at the end of this year, will reverse this trend. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_comscore_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_comscore_eu5\" width=\"515\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733001\" />\n\n</center>\n\nAll of this paints quite a clear picture: In these European markets, Symbian users are mostly switching to Android devices. As Symbian\'s market share plunges toward zero, if the current trends continue, we\'ll see Android grabbing an even bigger size of the market in the near future. \n\ncomScore also has a nice breakdown of Android smartphone manufacturers\' individual market shares. HTC is leading the pack with a 34.6% share, followed by Samsung with 31.7%, with Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola grabbing places three to five. \n\n<center><img src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/smartphone_android_eu5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"smartphone_android_eu5\" width=\"639\" height=\"289\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-733011\" />\n\n</center>\n\nRead the full report <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/Android_Captures_number_2_Ranking_Among_Smartphone_Platforms_in_EU5\" >here</a>. <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI: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=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=mhz0jqgbHBk:ciA0fpkRRSI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/mhz0jqgbHBk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Android Makes Big Gains on iOS in Europe [STATS]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;title=Android%20Makes%20Big%20Gains%20on%20iOS%20in%20Europe%20%5BSTATS%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/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/android-ios-europe/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/android/\">Android</a> has been the top smartphone platform in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/android-smartphone-platform-report/\">U.S</a>. and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/31/android-most-popular-platform/\">the world</a> for more than half a year.

However, rather than fighting in a strictly textual way, like ‘Mafia Wars’ type games, High Noon actually incorporates some real time action into the game with fantastic results. Because of this, you want to make sure you&#8217;re in an area with good internet connectivity; else the game will spit out a warning about how you need a strong connection to play.</p>\n<p>Dueling in the game involves tilting your phone (or pod, or pad) to control your gun&#8217;s reticule and tapping to shoot. To reload, simply tilt your device forward.  Rather than gaining experience points to level up, the High Noon uses a system of gold bounties on an enemy&#8217;s death. If you successfully slay your enemy in mortal combat, you&#8217;ll get a tidy sum of gold toward gaining your next level.</p>\n<p>My biggest criticism is how repetitive High Noon can tend to be, especially if you need to collect a substantial amount of gold to reach your next level. While you can liven up battles by purchasing items for one-time use (I enjoyed stringing up bad guys with a lasso for shits and giggles), High Noon can tend to get dry when you have a wide swath of enemies to shoot through.</p>\n<p>Because High Noon is a &#8216;freemium&#8217; game, you have the option to buy a secondary currency, &#8216;wampum&#8217;, using actual money from an in-game store. While wampum allows to you purchase more powerful and valuable items, the game does have a generous selection of items to be purchased with gold.</p>\n<p>All in all, High Noon is a strong, addictive game. With its combination smooth real-time action bits and a leisurely leveling up and upgrade system, High Noon is the cream of the crop of online freemium games. And since it&#8217;s free, be sure to give it a download if you&#8217;re interested, and leave your thoughts about the game in the comments.</p>\n\n<a href=\'http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/2010/07/02/app-review-high-noon/highnoon_shop/\' title=\'highnoon_shop\'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/highnoon_shop-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"Looking to upgrade your &#039;stache?

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

SoftBank joins Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sherpalo Ventures in backing InMobi. \n\nWith the investment, the Bangalore, India-based InMobi will have more ammunition to take on Google, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/11/09/google-acquires-admob/\">bought AdMob</a>, another mobile ad network, in 2009 for $750 million, and Apple, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/01/04/apple-quattro-wireless/\">bought Quattro Wireless</a> in early 2010 for $275 million.  \n\nDespite the investment, mobile advertising is still a fairly small market. The total spend for such advertising is projected to hit $1.1 billion in the U.S. this year, <a href=\"http://www.emarketer.com/blog/index.php/stat-day-mobile-ad-spending-reach-11-billion-2011/\" >according to eMarketer</a>.

More people are likely to buy the iPhone 5 than were ready to put their money down for an iPhone 4 before that launched, according to a survey of 2,200 potential cellphone buyers.\n\nThe survey, conducted last month for <a href=\"http://alliance.changewave.com/iphone2.htm\" >ChangeWave Research</a>, shows that 31% of customers who are currently shopping for a new phone consider it \"very likely\" (13%) or \"somewhat likely\" (18%) they will end up with an <a href=http://mashable.com/category/iphone/%E2%80%9D>iPhone</a> 5 in their hands. Compare that with the numbers for the iPhone 4 -- 12% and 13% respectively -- and what you have is a level of pent-up demand that is unprecedented in surveys like this. \n\nOf course, that\'s largely a function of the fact that we\'ve had to wait so long for the iPhone 5. Its predecessor is nearly 15 months old at this stage; that\'s a lifetime in cellphone years. Some 66% of current iPhone owners say they plan to upgrade to the new model, sight unseen. That includes a whole lot of iPhone 3GS users -- myself included -- who opted to skip a generation. \n\nThere\'s also some interesting news for Sprint in the survey: 54% of their subscribers say they are \"significantly likely\" or \"somewhat more likely\" to buy the iPhone 5, which reports suggest will be <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">launched on Sprint complete with an unlimited data plan</a>, of the kind that AT&T and Verizon no longer offer. But it may be a case of being careful what you wish for. If current iPhone usage is any indication, the amount of bandwidth those customers will suck up may be more than Sprint can profitably afford. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/29/iphone-4th-anniversary-infographic/\" >Happy 4th Anniversary, iPhone [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\n<img src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/RBCstudy.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RBCstudy\" width=\"640\" height=\"\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-734417\" /><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw: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=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw: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=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw: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=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=5NUaELLC0Y8:jQ187W9HfWw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/5NUaELLC0Y8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5: Expect Stronger Demand Than Ever [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/&amp;title=iPhone%205:%20Expect%20Stronger%20Demand%20Than%20Ever%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/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> Turns out the tech press isn\'t alone in lusting over the phone <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> is expected to unveil within the next month.

Therefore, an early 2012 launch would be more consistent with Apple\'s product launch cycle. \n\nThere\'s always the possibility of Apple <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ipad-hd-2011-7\" >releasing</a> an iPad HD -- a device with only minor changes from the current iPad 2 -- this fall, with the next major version coming out in 2012. \n\nWhat do you expect to see from Apple this fall, the next generation iPad, a minor update or no tablet at all?

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

study from consulting firm Brand Finance. \n\nThe London-based company looks at a company\'s cash flow and other financial metrics to assess the worth of its trademarks and other intellectual property. At the top of the heap is Google, whose IP is worth $48.3 billion -- and likely more after Thursday, when the search giant <a href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/09/google-buys-1023-patents-from-ibm.html\" >bought</a> another treasure trove of patents from IBM.

Coming in just below them: Walmart, GE, AT&T and Coca-Cola. A couple of banks with slipping reputations -- Wells Fargo and Bank of America -- round out the top 10.\n\n[via <em><a href=\"http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/09/15/apples-brand-value-rises-to-no-2-in-the-world-after-google/\" >Apple 2.0</a></em>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gL87QkolD5CcJamaH-pER24uLSk/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gL87QkolD5CcJamaH-pER24uLSk/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gL87QkolD5CcJamaH-pER24uLSk/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gL87QkolD5CcJamaH-pER24uLSk/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI: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=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI: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=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI: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=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=SGaUtDqaofk:D3zxwiphAlI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/SGaUtDqaofk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Becomes World’s Second Most Valuable Brand — After Google [STUDY]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/&amp;title=Apple%20Becomes%20World%E2%80%99s%20Second%20Most%20Valuable%20Brand%20%E2%80%94%20After%20Google%20%5BSTUDY%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/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/apple-valuable-brand/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple\">Apple</a>&#8216;s brand is worth $39.3 billion, or 33% more than it was at the start of the year, according to a study from consulting firm Brand Fi&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15270-revision-7','','','2011-09-15 20:08:26','2011-09-15 20:08:26','',15270,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15298',0,'revision','',0),(15445,79,'2011-09-24 07:34:54','2011-09-24 07:34:54','<p><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13488\" title=\"app_icon_appolicious\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/app_icon_appolicious.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" /><img src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/images/STAR_35.gif\" alt=\"\" /><br />\nThis is the same as test entry #1 below but with a bigger app icon. So in this space we’ll give a short synopsis of the app, probably followed by an abbreviated review format.

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\n<p><a

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

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

<a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/24/apple-samsung-lawsuit-south-korea/\">South Korea</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">Germany</a>, Apple has now sued Samsung in Japan on similar grounds. It accuses Samsung of violating Apple\'s <a href=http://mashable.com/category/iphone/%E2%80%9D>iPhone</a> and <a href=http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad%22>iPad</a>-related patents with its Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets. \n\nApple is seeking the suspension of sales of Galaxy S and Galaxy S II smartphones as well as Samsung\'s tablet, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7/\">Galaxy Tab 7</a>, in Japan. Based on its success in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">Europe and Australia</a>, Apple is hopeful the judge will once again side with Apple. \n\nIn addition to the sales ban, Apple is also seeking 100 million yen ($1.3 million) in damages. According to Kyodo news agency, the first hearing was on Wednesday, but a spokesperson for the Tokyo District Court declined to comment on the case.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/patent-wars-infographi/\">Patent Wars: A New Age of Competition [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nAlso, check out our gallery comparing the two companies’ products below. \n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>The Original iPhone</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17161The-Original-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The Original iPhone\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone1.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung BlackJack 2 </h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17201Samsung-BlackJack-2\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung BlackJack 2 \" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/blackjack-2-att.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the smartphone Samsung was selling in 2007, the BlackJack 2.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Galaxy S</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17177Samsung-Galaxy-S\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/i9000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the Samsung Galaxy S, which debuted in 2010.</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17159The-iPhone-3G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3G\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone-3g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2008, the iPhone 3G differed only slightly from its predecessor but had a slightly different back/side-housing.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Showcase i500</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17183Samsung-Showcase-i500\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Showcase i500\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/showcase-i500.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The Samsung Showcase i500 was released in 2011 and shares similarities with the form factor and aesthetic of the iPhone 3G.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3GS</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17163The-iPhone-3GS\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3GS\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone3gs-front-back.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2009, the iPhone 3GS looks identical to the iPhone 3G, but was significantly faster under the hood.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Verizon Droid Charge</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17169Verizon-Droid-Charge\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Verizon Droid Charge\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/droid-charge.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple amended its lawsuit against Samsung to include the recently released Droid Charge in the list of infringing devices.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Sprint Epic 4G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17171Sprint-Epic-4G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Sprint Epic 4G\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/epic-4g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Sprint\'s version of the Galaxy S was the only version to include a slide-out keyboard.

While the photo looks like a simple plate of sushi, its EXIF data reveals that there is more to this photo than meets the eye.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/02/iphone-5-rumors-3/\">iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nThe EXIF data says the photo was taken with an iPhone 4, but several things don\'t fit with what we know about that version of the iPhone. First, the original picture was taken with a 3264x2448 pixel resolution (approximately 8 megapixels) and cropped to 2235x2291 (approximately 5 megapixels). The iPhone 4 is a 5 megapixel device, so it wouldn\'t be capable of taking a 3264x2448 photo. \n\nThe second piece of evidence is that the photo was taken with a 4.3mm f/2.4 lens. The iPhone 4 has a 3.85mm f/2.8 lens.\n\nThe photo was also likely taken at Apple HQ. Its GPS data pinpoints the photo\'s origin to 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA -- which, as every geek knows, happens to be the address of Apple headquarters.\n\nD\'Auria\'s Flickr account has since been made private, but the image is already widely available online. While it\'s possible the image is a fake (EXIF data can be altered rather easily), we doubt an Apple engineer would make so many EXIF changes to an iPhone 4 picture. If the photo is indeed from an iPhone 5, expect an 8MP camera with the quality of a point-and-shoot on iPhones in the next month or so. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EeLQlYmjwxEXVr6pL5g6Wou1kLs/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EeLQlYmjwxEXVr6pL5g6Wou1kLs/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EeLQlYmjwxEXVr6pL5g6Wou1kLs/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EeLQlYmjwxEXVr6pL5g6Wou1kLs/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/NlzL-XIK2hg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5 Sushi Snap?

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

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

the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">next generation iPhone</a> is consistent with the recent wave of rumors claiming it will be released in early October. \n\n<em><a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110921/apple-to-hold-special-event-on-october-4/\" >ATD</a></em>\'s sources say that Cook will preside over the announcement -- with the help of other key executives such as Phil Schiller, who participated in such events in the past -- which would give this event even more significance. Cook must persuade the shareholders, the audience and Apple fans all over the world that he can sure-handedly take over the role of Apple CEO and company showman. And the expectations for that particular job are, simply put, enormous. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">iPhone 5: Expect Stronger Demand Than

spoke with <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/13/apple_may_surprise_with_late_2011_macbook_pro_refresh.html\" ><em>AppleInsider</em></a>. \n\nLast week, Intel rolled out faster versions of its Sandy Bridge processors, the class of chips currently used in the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/macbook-pro/\">MacBook Pro</a>. That means the current quad core Core i7 chips in the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros could be replaced by faster versions:\n\n2.0 GHz -- 2.4 GHz (19.9% faster clock speed)\n\n2.2 GHz -- 2.5 GHz (13.6% faster clock speed)\n\n2.3 GHz -- 2.7 GHz (17.39% faster clock speed)\n\nThose are all quad-core chips; the dual-core Core i7 processor now in the 13-inch MacBook Pro could get a speed bump, from 2.7 GHz up to 2.8 GHz.\n\nAccording to the report, these faster processors could keep <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a>\'s laptops speedy enough to satisfy users until Intel\'s faster <a href=\"http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ivy-bridge-sandy-launch-processors,12828.html\" >\"Ivy Bridge\" chips</a> come along in March or April 2012. \n\nIn addition to a speed increase, we\'re hoping the 2012 MacBook Pros will look a lot more like the MacBook Air, except with 15- and 17-inch screens and faster graphics. It could happen -- given the credible reports of a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/26/macbook-air-15-inch/\">15-inch MacBook Pro/Air hybrid</a> we heard this summer, such a laptop could be ready by the end of this year.\n\nWhat would you like to see in the next MacBook Pros? Let us know in the comments.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/13/apple_may_surprise_with_late_2011_macbook_pro_refresh.html\" ><em>AppleInsider</em></a>]\n<p><a

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