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

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

solid reason to use its services this fall -- an unlimited data plan for the iPhone 5.\n\nSprint will become the U.S.\'s only wireless carrier to offer unlimited data for the iPhone 5, <a href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-09/sprint-is-said-to-plan-unlimited-data-with-iphone-5-to-stand-out-from-pack.html\" ><em>Bloomberg</em></a> reports, citing \"people familiar with the matter.\" Details about pricing were not disclosed. Sprint currently offers unlimited data and voice for $99 a month for some smartphone models.\n\nAT&T and Verizon will offer the phone with tiered pricing plans. AT&T\'s plan ranges from 200 megabytes of data for $15 a month to 4 gigabytes for $45 a month. Verizon\'s plans range from $30 for 2 gigabytes to $80 for 10 gigabytes. Both offer unlimited voice plans for the iPhone for $69.99 a month. AT&T <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/02/att-kills-ipad-unlimited-data-plan/\">scrapped</a> its $30 a month unlimited data plan in June 2010. Some veteran AT&T customers were grandfathered in under the unlimited data plan.\n\nOffering a competitive advantage could surely boost Sprint\'s fortunes. The carrier <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/sprintnextel-loses-847-millio-2/\">lost $847 million</a> in its most-recent quarter as customers flocked to its two larger rivals to access the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone on the market. But Sprint and its investors have lately had reason to be optimistic. In addition to getting the iPhone, Sprint is also seen as a beneficiary of the Justice Department\'s lawsuit to block the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/31/u-s-seeks-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger-report//\">AT&T/T-Mobile merger</a>. \n\nHowever, you may want to take the report with a grain of salt: A similar rumor <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/25/verizon-iphone-data-plan/\">surfaced</a> before Verizon got the iPhone, which never came to pass. \n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/business/\">Business</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashbusiness\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Business on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/business\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Business channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2V7gKzAqhX304fFbA7SFLISB0uI/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2V7gKzAqhX304fFbA7SFLISB0uI/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2V7gKzAqhX304fFbA7SFLISB0uI/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2V7gKzAqhX304fFbA7SFLISB0uI/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=7tCY1gaad-k:2V-_9cnJb5E:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/7tCY1gaad-k\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint to Offer Unlimited Data Plan for iPhone 5 [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/&amp;title=Sprint%20to%20Offer%20Unlimited%20Data%20Plan%20for%20iPhone%205%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>The financially ailing <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/sprint/\">Sprint Nextel</a> may offer consumers a solid reason to use its services this fall -- an unlimited data plan for the iPhone 5&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','15098-revision-15','','','2011-09-09 16:02:00','2011-09-09 16:02:00','',15098,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=15434',0,'revision','',0),(15435,79,'2011-09-24 07:30:52','2011-09-24 07:30:52','<p><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13485\" title=\"app_icon\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/app_icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\" />New site theme means a new post format!

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

Maybe the Wi-Fi or cellular data bandwidth is more reliable on the Cupertino campus, allowing <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> to better demonstrate its wares and us media types to more effectively broadcast our still photos and live blogs of the event. Perhaps the reality distortion field is more powerful there.\n\nBeyond the location of the event, with the new leadership of CEO Cook, there are bound to be <em>some</em> changes in the Apple way of introducing products. For instance, we can fantasize about a live streaming video feed of the event, not superseding any of the live and sometimes entertaining comments from various bloggers, but enhancing them with a live visual record for all to see. \n\nOne thing\'s for sure: Apple\'s fabled secrecy remains intact, assuring billions of dollars\' worth of free publicity leading up to the event. Let us know in the comments why you think this venue has been changed after so many product introductions elsewhere.\n\n[via <a

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. 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\" />\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><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.

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

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Apple\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">iPhone 5 event on Oct. 4</a> will take place at the company\'s Cupertino campus, not in San Francisco where all the previous <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhones</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad/\">iPads</a> have been announced. \n\nAs is the custom with the secretive Cupertino company, Apple\'s not saying anything about the upcoming unveiling of its latest iProducts, but according to <a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110925/october-iphone-event-to-be-held-on-apple-campus/\" ><em>All Things D\'s</em></a> \"sources close to the company,\" the world\'s first look at the newest iPhones will be at <a href=\"http://silicon-valley.siggraph.org/townhall.html\" >Apple\'s Town Hall Auditorium</a>, rather than the customary <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_Buena_Center_for_the_Arts\" >Yerba Buena Center for the Arts</a> (YBCA) or as part of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/macworld/\">Macworld</a> or <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/wwdc/\">WWDC</a> at San Francisco\'s <a href=\"http://www.moscone.com/site/do/index\" >Moscone Center</a>.\n\nBeyond that tidbit of information, the reasons for such a change in venue are merely speculative. <em>All Things D</em> speculates that perhaps the new <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/tim-cook-apple-ceo/\">Apple CEO Tim Cook</a> doesn\'t care for the cavernous YBCA, instead opting for a more familiar, smaller and intimate venue closer to home. Maybe the Wi-Fi or cellular data bandwidth is more reliable on the Cupertino campus, allowing <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> to better demonstrate its wares and us media types to more effectively broadcast our still photos and live blogs of the event. Perhaps the reality distortion field is more powerful there.\n\nBeyond the location of the event, with the new leadership of CEO Cook, there are bound to be <em>some</em> changes in the Apple way of introducing products. For instance, we can fantasize about a live streaming video feed of the event, not superseding any of the live and sometimes entertaining comments from various bloggers, but enhancing them with a live visual record for all to see. \n\nOne thing\'s for sure: Apple\'s fabled secrecy remains intact, assuring billions of dollars\' worth of free publicity leading up to the event. Let us know in the comments why you think this venue has been changed after so many product introductions elsewhere.\n\n[via <a

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

August, will be present at the event. \n\nThe newest iPhone will reportedly be available in the few weeks following the announcements.<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

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

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

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Apple\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">iPhone 5 event on Oct. 4</a> will take place at the company\'s Cupertino campus, not in San Francisco where all the previous <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhones</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad/\">iPads</a> have been announced. \n\nAs is the custom with the secretive Cupertino company, Apple\'s not saying anything about the upcoming unveiling of its latest iProducts, but according to <a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110925/october-iphone-event-to-be-held-on-apple-campus/\" ><em>All Things D\'s</em></a> \"sources close to the company,\" the world\'s first look at the newest iPhones will be at <a href=\"http://silicon-valley.siggraph.org/townhall.html\" >Apple\'s Town Hall Auditorium</a>, rather than the customary <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_Buena_Center_for_the_Arts\" >Yerba Buena Center for the Arts</a> (YBCA) or as part of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/macworld/\">Macworld</a> or <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/wwdc/\">WWDC</a> at San Francisco\'s <a href=\"http://www.moscone.com/site/do/index\" >Moscone Center</a>.\n\nBeyond that tidbit of information, the reasons for such a change in venue are merely speculative. <em>All Things D</em> speculates that perhaps the new <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/tim-cook-apple-ceo/\">Apple CEO Tim Cook</a> doesn\'t care for the cavernous YBCA, instead opting for a more familiar, smaller and intimate venue closer to home. Maybe the Wi-Fi or cellular data bandwidth is more reliable on the Cupertino campus, allowing <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> to better demonstrate its wares and us media types to more effectively broadcast our still photos and live blogs of the event. Perhaps the reality distortion field is more powerful there.\n\nBeyond the location of the event, with the new leadership of CEO Cook, there are bound to be <em>some</em> changes in the Apple way of introducing products. For instance, we can fantasize about a live streaming video feed of the event, not superseding any of the live and sometimes entertaining comments from various bloggers, but enhancing them with a live visual record for all to see. \n\nOne thing\'s for sure: Apple\'s fabled secrecy remains intact, assuring billions of dollars\' worth of free publicity leading up to the event. Let us know in the comments why you think this venue has been changed after so many product introductions elsewhere.\n\n[via <a

All indications are that Apple has coordinated this launch more closely than ever with its retail and carrier partners, hence the plethora of leaks from <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">Sprint</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">Best Buy</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">AT&T</a>, among others. And with all eyes on Tim Cook\'s first product unveiling, what better way for him to wow the crowd than to tell them they can get their hands on their object of desire at the end of the week? (That would fit Cook\'s brand, too: he\'s renowned as a maestro of inventory management.)\n\nFriday launch dates seem to work well for Apple (see the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-now-available/\">iPad 2 launch</a>); it can take advantage of the fact that relatively little tech news drops on a Friday, as well as the here-comes-the-weekend carnival atmosphere. Just as long as the company doesn\'t encourage <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/16/friday-gone/\">Rebecca Black</a> to take any part in the festivities, we\'re fine with that.\n\nWant to play the iPhone 5 launch date game?

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=q_cbNr0qMFY:14i5DWPyTSY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/q_cbNr0qMFY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhones Are For Old People, Says HTC Chief','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;title=iPhones%20Are%20For%20Old%20People,%20Says%20HTC%20Chief&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/12/iphones-old-people-htc/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a> The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS are the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/22/iphone-3gs-outsells-everyone/\">two top-selling phones</a> in America.

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

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

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. 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\" />\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-720197\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Eric Schmidt, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/google/\">Google</a>\'s executive chairman, is likely to mention Facebook, Apple and other competitors outside the search realm as he faces a grilling Wednesday during an antitrust Senate hearing on Capitol Hill, according to a report.\n\n<i><a href\"http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/63989.html\" >Politico</a></i>, which got an advanced copy of Schmidt\'s testimony, revealed that the former Google CEO is planning to emphasize the hyper-competitive nature of online media. \n\n\"“We aim to provide relevant answers as quickly as possible, and our product innovation and engineering talent deliver results that we believe users like, in a world where the competition is only one click away,” reads Schmidt\'s prepared statement. The Senate plans to <a href=\"http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=3d9031b47812de2592c3baeba64d93cb\" >stream the testimony</a> at 2 p.m. ET.\n\nThe emphasis on competitors is an obvious retort for Google, which is being investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee\'s antitrust subcommittee on the grounds that Google may be using its heft in search marketing to freeze out rivals. If pressed, Schmidt (pictured) is likely to point out that Google competes not only with Microsoft and Yahoo on the search front, but with Apple, Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/comScore_Media_Metrix_Ranks_Top_50_U.S._Web_Properties_for_August_2011\" >now ranked</a> number four in unique U.S. visitors with 162.4 million for August, behind Google\'s 183.4 million, according to comScore. Apple, which competes with Google on the smartphone front, claimed 75 million visitors, while Twitter had 33.9 million.\n\nAside from the competition angle, Schmidt is likely to play up Google\'s effect on the economy. The company claims to generate $64 billion in economic activity for small businesses. \n\nJonathan Rubin, an attorney with <a href=\"http://www.rubinpllc.com\" >Rubin PLLC</a> who specializes in antitrust cases, says that citing Facebook is irrelevant to the conversation. \n\n\"I don\'t see Google\'s search as a direct competition to Facebook,\" Rubin says. \"It\'s sort of semi-competition.\" \n\nNevertheless, Rubin believes the government\'s case against Google is weak since the company doesn\'t charge for its services, which takes competitive pricing off the table. Rubin says that lacking the pricing angle, the government would have to make the case that Google is sabotaging rival services like Bing. Successfully arguing that Google is favoring its own properties is even murkier ground, Rubin says, since Google\'s search product hinges on providing the best results and being an \"honest broker\" (a.k.a. disinterested intermediary). That case, which the government will advance with testimony from the CEOs of Yelp and NexTag, is also not a clear-cut violation of antitrust laws, Rubin says. \n\n<i>Image courtesy of Flickr, <a

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

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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

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>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></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 would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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

August, will be present at the event. \n\nThe newest iPhone will reportedly be available in the few weeks following the announcements.<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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

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. 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\" />\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mtuszRxeTYYQBCo_Xc8j4bN6QkE/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><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.

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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

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

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

It would be odd if Sprint were to go to that trouble, only to allow employees to take time off after the first two business days of heavy iPhone 5-based foot traffic.\n\nThat\'s one reason why we\'re sticking with the U.S. sale date we <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\">predicted two weeks ago</a>: <strong>Friday, Oct. 7</strong>. Yes, it\'s only four days after the announcement event, but bear with us. All indications are that Apple has coordinated this launch more closely than ever with its retail and carrier partners, hence the plethora of leaks from <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">Sprint</a>, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">Best Buy</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">AT&T</a>, among others. And with all eyes on Tim Cook\'s first product unveiling, what better way for him to wow the crowd than to tell them they can get their hands on their object of desire at the end of the week? (That would fit Cook\'s brand, too: he\'s renowned as a maestro of inventory management.)\n\nFriday launch dates seem to work well for Apple (see the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-now-available/\">iPad 2 launch</a>); it can take advantage of the fact that relatively little tech news drops on a Friday, as well as the here-comes-the-weekend carnival atmosphere. Just as long as the company doesn\'t encourage <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/16/friday-gone/\">Rebecca Black</a> to take any part in the festivities, we\'re fine with that.\n\nWant to play the iPhone 5 launch date game?

class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-720197\" /></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Eric Schmidt, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/google/\">Google</a>\'s executive chairman, is likely to mention Facebook, Apple and other competitors outside the search realm as he faces a grilling Wednesday during an antitrust Senate hearing on Capitol Hill, according to a report.\n\n<i><a href\"http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/63989.html\" >Politico</a></i>, which got an advanced copy of Schmidt\'s testimony, revealed that the former Google CEO is planning to emphasize the hyper-competitive nature of online media. \n\n\"“We aim to provide relevant answers as quickly as possible, and our product innovation and engineering talent deliver results that we believe users like, in a world where the competition is only one click away,” reads Schmidt\'s prepared statement. The Senate plans to <a href=\"http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=3d9031b47812de2592c3baeba64d93cb\" >stream the testimony</a> at 2 p.m. ET.\n\nThe emphasis on competitors is an obvious retort for Google, which is being investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee\'s antitrust subcommittee on the grounds that Google may be using its heft in search marketing to freeze out rivals. If pressed, Schmidt (pictured) is likely to point out that Google competes not only with Microsoft and Yahoo on the search front, but with Apple, Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is <a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/9/comScore_Media_Metrix_Ranks_Top_50_U.S._Web_Properties_for_August_2011\" >now ranked</a> number four in unique U.S. visitors with 162.4 million for August, behind Google\'s 183.4 million, according to comScore. Apple, which competes with Google on the smartphone front, claimed 75 million visitors, while Twitter had 33.9 million.\n\nAside from the competition angle, Schmidt is likely to play up Google\'s effect on the economy. The company claims to generate $64 billion in economic activity for small businesses. \n\nJonathan Rubin, an attorney with <a href=\"http://www.rubinpllc.com\" >Rubin PLLC</a> who specializes in antitrust cases, says that citing Facebook is irrelevant to the conversation. \n\n\"I don\'t see Google\'s search as a direct competition to Facebook,\" Rubin says. \"It\'s sort of semi-competition.\" \n\nNevertheless, Rubin believes the government\'s case against Google is weak since the company doesn\'t charge for its services, which takes competitive pricing off the table. Rubin says that lacking the pricing angle, the government would have to make the case that Google is sabotaging rival services like Bing. Successfully arguing that Google is favoring its own properties is even murkier ground, Rubin says, since Google\'s search product hinges on providing the best results and being an \"honest broker\" (a.k.a. disinterested intermediary). That case, which the government will advance with testimony from the CEOs of Yelp and NexTag, is also not a clear-cut violation of antitrust laws, Rubin says. \n\n<i>Image courtesy of Flickr, <a

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

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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

That would be the most famous member of the board: Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.\n\nSpeaking at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in South Africa, Gore interjected the following aside into his speech: \"Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.\"\n\nThat may not sound like a huge blunder -- after all, the fact that the iPhone 5 is <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/iphone-5-sale-date/\" >going on sale at some point next month</a> currently ranks as one of the world\'s worst-kept secrets. But take note: nobody at Apple has officially confirmed it yet. Even the October 4 unveiling, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\" >leaked</a> to <em>AllThingsD</em> Wednesday morning, is still just a report. Nary an invite has been seen.\n\nNote also the plural in Gore\'s aside. It is possible that he was referring to multiple copies of the iPhone 5, but that seems unlikely -- especially as we\'ve been hearing rumors for months of a lower-cost, lower-memory version dubbed the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/11/apple-icloud-iphone-rumor/\">iCloud iPhone</a>. \n\nGore has been an Apple board member for more than eight years, and this is the first time we\'ve seen him let slip even the slightest detail on an upcoming product. Given the company\'s code of secrecy, such an unwarranted statement in a prepared talk -- he wasn\'t even being <em>interviewed</em> -- counts as a major breach of discipline. \n\nIf this were an Apple employee, or even any other board member, we\'d fear for his future at 1 Infinite Loop. Gore, of course, is a heavy-hitter at the company who\'s done a lot of work on making Apple products more sustainable and reducing his carbon footprint. We\'re guessing he gets a pass this time. But Tim Cook, take note: Your ship is not as tight as you might like.\n\n[via <a href=\"http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/21/apple-board-member-al-gore-speaking-at-conference-confirms-iphone-5-in-october/\" ><em>TheNextWeb</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TyKNsyJOyHmJKLmnxnZMSFR-OBA/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak: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=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=abAmzsoP1eg:tOHve3Q9yak:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/abAmzsoP1eg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Gore’s Loose Lips Let New iPhones Slip','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;title=Gore%E2%80%99s%20Loose%20Lips%20Let%20New%20iPhones%20Slip&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/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/gore-iphone-5/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple is well known for being a tight ship, but apparently one of its board members forgot to batten down the hatches.

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

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>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QpGjkdkWUuXnhgdNtwPL0pfiSdQ/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></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.
