Maybe this sliding cover prototype is for a second touchscreen, like Sprint's Kyocera Echo. I find this more likely than a hardware keyboard. Down the road it would also make it easier to add a 3D screen on the top part (like the Nintendo 3DS), sinc…

Thing is, once smartphones and tablets become commodities, Apple doesn't necessarily want a majority of the market share. People tend to forget that right now, e.g. smartphones are only a small fraction of all mobile phones. Once every mobile phone …

An iPod touch with retina display but just 256MB RAM is also bad for developers. Until now you knew that if you target the retina resolution that you had 512MB RAM available. E.g. the impressive Epic Citadel demo looks much better on the iPhone 4 th…

Do we know that ALL the new iPod touches have 256MB RAM or are people just assuming? Because so far iFixit only took the 8GB version apart. And the 8GB version was always "special" in some way.

I don't know about the SGX545 and Apple. Wouldn't the more advanced Series5XT architecture (USSE2, multi-core etc.) be more suited for Apple's ARM products? DX10.1 doesn't matter to Apple and with the SGX543MP they could simply put a single core ver…
