Apple News | Foxconn to Ship 24 Million iPhone 4Gs in 2010

Starting in June, Foxconn will ship 24 million units of the Apple iPhone 4G which features an improved display, more memory, and a larger battery, according to Digitimes.

Foxconn will ship 4.5 million units in the first half and 19.5 million units for the rest of 2010. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 4G on June 7, 2010 during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. The new device will adopt IPS (in-plane switching) panels with FFS (fringe-field switching) technology and a 960×640 resolution, Kuo said, noting that LG Display and Prime View International are the panel suppliers.

Digitimes also claims the iPhone 4G will run on the Arm Cortex A8 processor and have a 512MB memory module from Samsung which is double that of the iPhone 3GS.

The iPhone 4G’s display panel is said to be 33% thinner to allow for a larger battery module supplied by Simplo Technology and Dynapack International Technology.

Monday Blues

It’s that time of the week where it’s just so degrading; you just pray that Friday will come soon. Have to finish 2 reports right now and the stress is building up. Well, at least I don’t have Diploma Plus on Monday.

I’m not particularly happy with the current exam timetable as there might be a possibility that I’ll have 2 papers on the same day. I don’t know why the exams must be pushed forward instead of having it after the holidays…

Mental Note

Have to finish report by this Friday if possible. Stop slacking!

I have no idea why I’m procrastinating so much these few days. I wonder if sloth is a disease or an attitude. Can it be solved or is it something built in you?

Beer, betrayal, lost iPhone

SAN FRANCISCO – FEARING ‘huge’ losses in sales after pictures leaked of its fourth-generation iPhone, Apple convinced police to launch a felony investigation and chief executive Steve Jobs contacted the offending Web site himself to try and recover the gadget.

A California court unsealed a search warrant on Friday in the case of the lost or stolen prototype 4G iPhone whose inner workings ended up on popular gadget site Gizmodo – weaving a bizarre tale of beer gardens, paranoid lawyers and emails to the Apple chief. Apple, which has released a new iPhone in each of the past three summers, is known for its secrecy. It is widely believed to be releasing its latest model this summer.

The story of the missing iPhone that belonged to an Apple engineer has captivated Silicon Valley since news broke last month. The missing phone apparently caused concern among Apple executives, according to a meticulously detailed April 23 search warrant by Matthew Broad, a detective with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office. An outside lawyer for the company considered the missing prototype ‘invaluable’ and publication of its details ‘immensely damaging’ to Apple’s future sales, Broad wrote. The loss of the prototype, owned by Apple employee Robert Gray Powell, in late March, prompted a meeting between company executives and law enforcement.

‘Riley stated the publication of the device and its features is immensely damaging to Apple,’ wrote Broad in the warrant, referring to Apple’s outside counsel, George Riley of O’Melveny and Myers. Apple’s director of information security, Rick Orloff, and the company’s general counsel, Bruce Sewell, were also at the April 20 meeting.

Riley said Apple customers would delay purchases until the new iPhone was released, ‘thereby hurting overall sales and negatively effecting Apple’s earnings,’ the detective wrote. ‘Riley stated he could not currently provide an estimated loss, but he believed it was ‘huge’,’ Broad wrote. Apple officials were not available for comment.

The incident began when Apple engineer Powell lost the prototype iPhone while at a German restaurant and beer garden in Redwood City, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was then either found or stolen by Brian Hogan, according to the search warrant. But Hogan’s room-mate, worried that the iPhone could be traced back to her after he plugged it into her computer, tipped off Apple that he had sold it to Gizmodo for US$8,500 (S$11,800). Photos and details of the new device – ripped apart to reveal its inner workings – subsequently appeared on the website.

Quick Update

Just let you guys in on what’s been happening lately. Got reports to finish up and yet I’m still here, don’t you just hate that feeling when you clearly know you have something else to do more yet you choose to procrastinate and find other things to do like walk to the kitchen to look food clearly knowing that there’s no food.

Somehow, we just hope that we might stumble upon some snack and we will spend time slowly eating just to stall time. It’s close to one and my goal today is to finish my PIET report and hopefully, attempt tomorrow’s FMA tutorial. Also, you might also have noticed that there is a lack in photographs in my blog and I’m trying to resolve that by bringing a camera where ever I go. M friend’s birthday just passed and I have a couple of pictures of him “trying” to smile.

Happy Birthday Wilson!~

Composing a Song Easy?

I wonder if you guys have ever noticed that many songs have the exact same chord progression. Well, I remember I stumbled across this video weeks ago and now, I’m going to share it with you.

Take a break from whatever you’re doing and just watch the video.

Awkward Situations

I bet everyone has been in that moment whereby it’s just so awkward you don’t know what to do. A classic example would be when you’re about to give someone a hi-5 and it’s just goes horribly wrong.

I found this video which may prove useful for those of you with this problem.

You didn’t know a hi-5 could be so complex did you?
