Rehearsing the iPhone 5 Launch?

Is This Steve Jobs Rehearsing the iPhone 5 Launch?

We just heard from a source that the iPhone 5 might not actually be announced tonight. But now here’s a video which might be the actual Steve Jobs in action rehearsing the launch of the iPhone 5.

• The video seems to indicate that the iPhone 5 has a solar charger and that it never needs to be charged.

Here are the things that can be spotted in the video:

• The second technology is “Digital Scent Technology” whereby the user can smell an object such as a strawberry through their iPhone.
• The third picture shows a comparison between the weights of the iPhone 4 which is correctly depicted in the video as 0.3 pounds (137 grams/4.8 ounces) and the weight of the iPhone 5 at 0.24 ounces (107 grams/3.8 ounces).

We do not know for sure if the video is real or fake. While the reduction in weight seems to be legit, the other two technologies do seem a bit fake. Not that we haven’t seen any phone with a solar charger. But if these turn out to be real, then you might as well say Apple is going to change the mobile market again.

If not then at least we can hope that Steve Jobs will show up to announce the products.

Apple Rejects Australian Settlement Offer from Samsung

Apple has rejected the settlement offer from Samsung. The offer would have allowed Samsung to sell their Galaxy Tab 10.1.

It would have also enabled a speedy court decision. Apple rejected the offer and claimed that Samsung has infringed numerous patents.

Apple attorney Steven Burley said “It is one we don’t accept and there is no surprise. The main reason we are here is to prevent the launch and maintain the status quo.”Neither Samsung nor Apple are in a hurry to conclude the battle. Each will take their own time in preparing to bring down the other.
