Updated iPhone 4 Smartphone In The Pipeline?
01 September, 2010, by ITProPortal Staff
There are persistent rumours that Apple is all set to release an improved version of its iPhone 4 that should solve some nagging issues; some went even as far as saying that it might be the iPhone 5 which is very unlikely to be the case as we debated here.
According to a Mexican technology website, Canal MX, Apple will soon launch a revised iPhone 4 hardware set, free of the antenna snag that plagued the latest version of iPhone.
Steve Jobs, chief executive officer of Apple, has assured a patch to address the “antennagate” issue in the shipment September 30 onwards, stated Marco Quatorze, director of Value Added Services at Telcel, a Mexico-based mobile network provider, while announcing the launch of iPhone 4 in the country.
Although the report has not received confirmation from Apple but it is in line with Job’s statement that customers who buy the iPhone 4 before September 30 will be provided with free bumper case.

If you're browsing the web today and see a notice that you should press the F1 key (the traditional button used to get "help" in any application), don't do it.
Microsoft is warning of a brand new exploit that can cause computers running Windows XP and using the Internet Explorer web browser to become infected with malware at the push of a button: Specifically, the F1 button.
The flaw is part of the way Visual Basic and Windows Help are implemented within IE, the upshot being that a clever hacker can code a dialog box that will allow the running of any code the hacker wants. Traditionally this means installing any kind of malware or virus on the victim's PC that a hacker desires.
The good news is that this exploit isn't extremely dangerous because it does require user interaction to install itself. Unlike some recent exploits, merely visiting an infected website won't cause harm to your computer: You actually have to "push a button" to be affected.
The bad news is that the F1 button has always been seen as harmless, more so than simply clicking "OK" on the average prompt you might see. When dismissed, the prompt can also be coded to pop up repeatedly, so getting rid of it might not be simple.
Microsoft is advising users that, until a patch can be written and released, users are advised not to press the F1 key while web browsing. No matter how many pop-ups and alerts a user receives, as long as F1 is not pressed this attack will not succeed.
Microsoft has not announced a timeline for the fix, but its next patch release is due on March 9. Hang tight, but don't ask for "help."

Apple scored its biggest gains in government, big business and the European home market

Given the Mac's tiny share of the worldwide PC market -- roughly 3.5% as of June -- Apple (AAPL) has a lot of room to grow. And grow it did in the second quarter, as a note to clients issued Monday by Needham's Charlie Wolf makes clear.
Using IDC's numbers for calendar Q2, Wolf takes a close look at Mac shipments in various market segments, from the home to the largest enterprises. Among his findings:
- At 35%, Mac shipment growth in June easily exceeded the market's growth rate of 20.9%.
- Mac shipments grew 31.4% in the home market, topping the market's growth rate of 25.2%.
- At 49.8%, the Mac's growth in business was three times higher than the market's 15.7%.
- Mac shipments in government grew 200%, sixteen times faster than the market's 12.1%.
Breaking down the business portion of that data, Wolf found that Apple's fastest growth was in the largest enterprises, as the chart below demonstrates.

Finally, Wolf singles out the "intriguing phenomenon" of the Mac's continued surge in the European home market, where Apple's unit share more than doubled since the first quarter of 2006 (from 3.4% to 7%) and its dollar share more than tripled (from 4.6% to 15.4%). See chart below.

"The key driver," of Mac sales in the European market, Wolf writes, "appears to be the iPhone. The iPhone holds a higher share in the European smartphone market than it does in the U.S. because it is distributed through multiple carriers in most countries in this region. In addition, the halo effect emanating from the iPhone is undoubtedly stronger than the iPod halo effect." |

Steve Jobs unveiled Apple's slender 10 inch touch screen device in Cupertino this evening.
"It's a revolutionary magical product" Steve Jobs told a breathless audience, running through Apple's successes.
"Is there room for a third category of device in the middle? Something that's between a laptop and smartphone."
This device needs to be BETTER than a laptop or a smartphone at these types of devices. "Or it has no reason for being."
Gizmodo liveblog reported Steve Jobs as saying.
