It is time for your weekly dose of the next generation iPhone rumors. This edition is a doozy, friends. Alleged iPhone leak components everywhere with each site, claiming that they are the real deal. It's hard to tell what components were lifted straight from Foxconn lines, but when they'll be seen as a whole, these components an interesting picture, it's Apple's dramatic change of course and completely disrupt the cell phone market.

It is reported that Apple is about to announce the next iPhone (or iPhones), either in September or October. There are currently two competing rumours circulating that Apple is working on low cost iPhone probably code-named iPhone4S N94 and higher-end iPhone 5 called internally as N97.

Just last week a slew of iPhone parts hit the web. Most are of similar design to the current iPhone 4 with a physical home button and similar overall dimensions. Macpost and Engadget both posted the same set of photos "leaked" this morning, showing that most assume is the cheapest iPhone 4S. Parts marked N95 with EVT1 (engineering) ' 03-March 2011 '.

Several other diversion, including the early parts of further support ubreakifix.com claim, at least one of the upcoming iPhone model is very similar to the current iPhone 4. Reuters contributed to this claim last week when she said that the Apple 8 GB iPhone soon will release 4. Moreover, even this case, claimed that for iPhone 4S is similar to that used in the iPhone 4 slightly adjust the antenna and the lack of space for the home button.

So far, including talk about cloud iPhone seems to suggest that Apple is targeting low-end market with the next iPhone. But it just doesn't feel. Apple has stuck to a hard refresh cycle of two years, which stated that major changes had to be in June last year. This never happened.

Then just this morning, industry control DigiTimes, citing higher vendor group and contrary to previous rumors reported iPhone 5 will have fewer than 4 inch LCD and equipped with metal back panel, rather than strengthened glass is used in the iPhone 4 and 4S leaked iPhone parts. This source claims that the internal components, including single A4 chip is likely to remain in the game for the iPhone model. It is not unheard of Apple will be of similar products aimed at different market segments and are only cosmetic differences. This, however, is without precedent that Apple releases two iPhone models at the same time. IPhone 4S and iPhone 5 if they are both real, kills Apple's legendary keep it simple, silly mantra, but officially signals war on low-end BlackBerrys and Android devices.

Of course, it's all just silly speculation to Tim Cook, Jonathan Ive or someone who takes the stage and officially announced the next iPhone, or rather, iPhones. These leakage hitting an absurd pace, though. Apple may soon have to deal with the iPhone 4 fiasco all over again.

Started by Steve jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, Apple has expanded from computers to consumer electronics over the past 30 years, officially change their name from Apple Computer.

There really should be no argument when I say that the case for your iPhone 4 is no more than necessary. If you have cash to burn, the iPhone is just too damn expensive left without protection. The only problem is that most of them make your phone very clunky, which sucks because Apple works to make the iPhone as thin as soon as possible. Unfortunately the only compromise for all weight is protection from impact. But what if you drop your iPhone into a toilet?

People at the catalyst, the answer for you: EscapeCapsule.

This thing is more than just hard exo skeleton. Made of clear polycarbonate of high-impact case protects against water, rain, snow, sand, dirt, impacts, with scratched surface ... all of them. I mention the water? You can also check whether the case securely sealed around the phone through clear envelope.

Catalyst said phone hardware buttons protected by a specially designed membranes as a touchscreen. Chamber works surprisingly well with the lid on, evidence of which can be found in the video on Kickstarter project page. The case also comes with a lanyard attached to go around your wrist while you are playing in the ocean with your iPhone. Because with EscapeCapsule, you can play in the ocean with your iPhone. Crazy.

It consists of a number of colors, but if you make a pledge on Kickstarter you get only Kickstarter Edition of catalyst capsule — green case with a white glow in the dark rubber bumper and glow-in-the-dark lanyard. It will take $ 50 pledge to pre-order your very own EscapeCapsule, which is OK, considering the catalytic plans to sell the case for $ 70 when he officially became a reality.

There are quite a bit of iOS application performance with handwriting recognition functionality are available, such as notes plus, iWriteWords for kids, or (indirectly) Evernote. But recognizing the handwriting is not trivial, which is why the new application called 7notes (the iPad: free, $ 8.99 premium/iPhone: free, Premium $ 4.99) is almost entirely devoted to this problem – and it does work really well.

The application works in the same way as on the iPhone and iPad (after both versions of the spin, I recommend that you download the iPad app, if you can). Simply use your finger or a stylus (recommended) to jot down notes, let 7notes do its magic and converting handwriting into digital fonts, if necessary (or mix of digital and ink annotations). All notes can be "embellished" and in combination with the images or Web pages, too.

There are a number of additional features such as auto scroll, font sizes, colors, lines, "smart engine", the autosuggesting words in a sentence, self-learning dictionary automatically save all notes etc. pull up the iPad or the iPhone's virtual keyboard if necessary.

The founders of the 7notes maker 7knowledge Metamoji claim they have more than 30 years ' experience in tongue and document processing software, and it shows. The main selling point of the app is the quality of handwriting recognition: most of the time (and after practicing while) app was amazingly precise definitions of the words I wrote with my finger.

Here are two examples, showing my handwriting. App recognized words such as "Serkan" or "Techcrunch", too (the iPad version/click to enlarge):

Users can print and notes by e-mail, save them in the iPad or iPhone to your photo album, post them on Facebook and Twitter or send them to other applications, such as Dropbox and Evernote.

I would suggest trying the free version of 7notes first while only paid app offers handwriting digital conversion (and again, you need a little practice to get good results):
7notes iPhone version (free/$ 4.99 premium)
7notes HD iPad version (free/$ 8.99 premium)

Greplin releases must have iPhone App for staff to organize your life and avoid the rabid Google

It was only a year ago that I first wrote about Greplin, "the other half of searches for your online life. This is an incredibly useful search engine that indexes your Internet email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, calendar, Dropbox and other stuff (22 services currently supported). Greplin is a single search box on all this, and it's fast.

So far, though, you had to use HTML5 website for mobile use, there is no selected application. If you are a iPhone user, this is now changed. Android and other users will have to wait a little longer.

Why the need for dedicated application? 20 yr old CEO Daniel gross says that they need in their application to add the most requested features. Aim is to reduce typing foresee that you need – if you open the application towards meeting Greplin you can use your location and the date and time to make an intelligent guess you want to address or phone number related to this meeting and then give it to you.

Intellectual accumen Greplin iPhone app is impressive. When Gross was OK in my Office yesterday, "Arrington" was top to search. App knew he was following a meeting with me for his calendar and e-mail messages and knew that are unlikely to search for me. After clicking on my name was further refinements to find phone number or my place, etc.

You could do all that in an email or calendar, in one way or another, but Greplin makes it a lot easier. Instead of opening the e-mail on my phone and looking for the name of the person I'm meeting and then scrolling through an email or two find a phone number or address (and probably getting punished, rabid Googler to type while driving) Greplin just seems to know what I want and put front and Center-per-click advertising. It then outlines the relevant information from the letter a.

It is these two functions – proposed searches and illumination – that make application is so easy to use. It's rare that a new application can receive the coveted "must have" spot on my phone, but Greplin is clear. Once he is on Android, i.e.

Gross original idea for the Greplin derives from the idea that "people with more and more information thrown at them and we are here to make this manageable." Greplin already does this. Greplin in the iPhone app makes it even better. And if he saves the life of even one crazy Googler, which passes in front of your car, it's worth it.

Greplin was slightly less than 5 million dollars from investors, Sequoia Capital, SK Telecom Ventures and Angel.

Greplin, launched in September 2010, is the personal Web search engine which indexes data stored in online services.

The upcoming iPhone 5 will almost certainly be a phone that supports multiple networks, namely: CDMA (such as Verizon or Sprint in the United States of America), as well as GSM (used in AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States).

The rumors before, and even at one point half confirms Verizon Executive, but nothing like some good old evidence from the field to make the rumor in near certainty.

Recently I was approached by some of the most popular applications on the iOS today, who asked not offered solid evidence supporting the above claim and name.

According to this person and journals using the application, I was sent to the tiny number of people recently registered for one of their applications from a single, new Apple device that clearly dual-mode – meaning that it supports the CDMA and GSM.

The logs show that application briefly tested a handful of people use and almost certainly the iPhone 5, it is clear that running iOS 5, sporting two separate sets of mobile network codes (MNC)/mobile country code (MCC). These codes can be used to identify the mobile operators.

Of course some registrations for your application that the developer has also asked not to call – it was flown from the new Apple device, using the MCC MNC codes with Verizon and AT&T.

The first iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, exclusively in the AT&T network GSM phone in the United States. 10 February 2011, the CDMA version of iPhone 4 to Verizon made its debut.

Now that Apple food carriers (and their respective networks), it makes all the sense in the world to combine in one device, turning it into a "world phone" or "global phone", as would say cool kids support CDMA and GSM.

In addition, rumors have been circulating since last year, Qualcomm will replace Intel as the main provider of Smartphone iPhone 5. In particular, Qualcomm is already supplying basic CDMA version of iPhone 4, but not the original GSM device.

Apple made the phone of the world "will be good news for consumers, especially in countries where some carriers use CDMA (United States, India, Japan, Argentina, Brazil and more). In particular, travelling abroad with a phone that only supports CDMA, is a major pain in the ass.

With the iPhone dual-mode 5 users can easily navigate between the two networks.

If all the above checks – and all signs point to Yes, mostly because – this would soon be unveiled iPhone 5 LTE device probably won't be possible disappointment to some, who still does not exclude the possibility of 4 G iPhone, despite mounting evidence of this phone is coming out this year.

It is expected that the 5th generation iPhone worldwide will be released in Q3 2011, inline with the release of iOS 5, the next generation of Apple's operating system.

Started by Steve jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, Apple has expanded from computers to consumer electronics over the past 30 years, officially change their name from Apple Computer.

Video chat launch TinyChat released their first iOS TinyChat FB app, which allows you to transfer video chat with up to 12 Facebook friends from your Smartphone. TinyChat co-founder Dan Blake tells me that what sets TinyChat FB separately from other services like Fring or Tango or even Skype is the fact that end users do not need to have the service installed to participate in the chat. Facebook, which just launched video calling with Skype still does not have this functionality for mobile devices.

Users can connect to the app with Facebook after downloading, and he immediately show them a list of their friends. Clicking on user allows you to invite them to chat, send a link to a Facebook message I video chat on my iPhone, click on the link to the video chat with me. " To switch back to your friends list will allow you to invite other users to chat and you can delete users by clicking on their name on the users tab.

TinyChat FB works on the iPad, iPad, iTouch 2 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. Web Flash-based component.

My biggest problem with this is that I can't think of any reason why people like Facebook video chat with 12 people. Blake insists that people are doing, namely teenagers. "Tiny chat right now does not have a list of contacts and, where necessary," he said, "certainly Skype juggernaut. We are here to give you more creative use TinyChat via Skype.

He also said that this application is not all, end all mobile TinyChat, and that a full-featured client for the service in its path.

TinyChat makes more than 30 million minutes of video chat per day according to Blake, and 100 K new users per day. The App had raised $ 1.5 million in financing from the triumvirate of Ashton Kutcher, p. Diddy, Lady Gaga and others who think of it, will probably make a pretty interesting video chat.

TinyChat is dead simple to use video/audio/desktop chat system. This entirely Web-based, requires no downloads or plugins (aside from Flash) and works in all browsers and. ..

After more than a year of uncertainty in the case of the stolen iPhone 4, has been brought to something like that. San Mateo County Assistant District Attorney Morley Pitt announced that would not be charged with Gizmodo, Jason Chen freedom which was in question, as police raided his home shortly after the alleged theft.

Pitt said that "this is a very gray area", but what about the laws on the protection of the journalist, "this is not the case with which we are going to push the envelope." is not the most accurate statement, but it is very reasonable.

On the other hand, will be borne by Brian Hogan and Sage Wallower, which is a new generation of mobile phone in the bar, incognito: assignment lost property (that is to sell something you are) and possession of stolen property (it becomes stolen after you decide to sell it), respectively. They face a maximum of one year in prison plus fines and probation; I don't want to speculate too much on their fate, but we hope, together with freshly is considered legal journalism will judge better look at them.

Now it seems as good a time as any links to my if I made this post, in which you can find a few mistakes to avoid if you should meet said component. And don't forget that our tip line is anonymous. At its discretion, friends.
