Deep Twitter Integration Will Use in iOS 5 (Rumor)

TechCrunch has reported that Apple was looking to integrate Twitter in their next generation operating system iOS 5. It is quite interesting to see if Apple will bring twitter integration on iOS 5 or not.



With twitter integration on iOS 5, the iPhone user will able to share their photos directly to Twitter from their device possibly using the twimg.com as per the Siegler. Furthermore Grubber from Daring Fireball put some more twist on this rumors. He pointed the statement:

 “So close to the bigger story, but yet so far. Imagine what else the system could provide if your Twitter account was a system-level service.”

Now the whole thing is just nothing more than the rumors but would be great to Apple's fan if it becomes available on iOS 5.

Deep Twitter integration with iOS is something that makes sense, so much sense in fact that it’s surprising we’re only just hearing rumors about it now.

Could the iPhone 5 look like a beveled iPod touch?

 

See that up there? That could be your next iPhone -- or it could be a tear-shaped dream. It's a mock-up of what is said to be the iPhone 5, according to anonymous sources quoted by Joshua Topolsky.


A continuation of the concepts laid out in our post-CES look at what's next for Apple, the design here is said to be thin, metal-backed, tapered, and sporting a 3.7-inch display with the same 960 x 640 resolution in the iPhone 4's retina display -- resulting in a slight drop from that phone's vaunted 326ppi density. The home button is quite obviously enlarged, possibly adding some thumbable gestures into the mix. Internals are said to include a "swipable" area, possibly meaning NFC, along with a Qualcomm Gobi chipset with support for CDMA and GSM, so this could be the one phone to rule all the carriers. Or, it might wind up only ever having domain over a single .PSD file. To us, well, it looks a little too thin to be packing all that and a bag of antennas as suggested and, with all the weight at the top, we can see this things flying out of hands left and right.

Update: The source has been updated with a note indicating that the bevel may be "a little exaggerated" in the above mock-up and that the back may not be metal after all.

Samsung strikes back at Apple with ten patent infringement claims

 

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone: in the latest chapter of the Apple-Samsung dispute over their smartphones' resemblance, the latter company has just retaliated by filing lawsuits against Apple in three countries. Sammy's load of ammo includes five patent infringements in South Korea, two in Japan, and three in Germany, though we've yet to hear more details about these claims.

Update: Reuters has shed some light on the actual patents Samsung is alleging are being infringed. The news organization reports they relate to "power reduction during data transmission, 3G technology for reducing errors during data transmission, and wireless data communication technology."
