During Intel’s 40th birthday celebration in Munich, Intel Germany chief Hannes Schwaderer let out a monster secret. He said that Apple is indeed using Intel’s new Atom chips in a new device, that is slightly larger than the iPhone.

According to French language Swiss news site LeMatin, not only will the 3G iPhone hit the mountainous country in June, but it will be sporting some new services....

What is the iPhone Black and why is it appearing on AT&T Wireless's site? That is the question that Apple's iPhone watchers are asking themselves this morning after Appleinsider reported that AT&T is now offering a surprise. Could this be the illusive 3G iPhone making an appearance a few weeks before its official debut?

 Will the 3G iPhone have hardware GPS?  It is hard to imaging it wouldn't with the "Landmark Event" coming in June.  Howwever some people like to get information early.  The best way to get information early on the iPhone is to dig through the iPhone SDK Betas that are coming out of Apple on a weekly basis.

A Westchester, New York woman has her MacBook back after having it stolen by two Bronx men. How did she accomplish this? Turns out she works at an Apple Store and, as part of her job, demonstrates the functionality of "Back to My Mac" remote desktop software that comes with .Mac accounts.

Today Vodafone announced that it would bring the iPhone to 10 countries in the latter half of 2008. The countries are:

Not only is the Apple iPhone the most popular phone for browsing the internet, it is also the most popular phone for uploading pictures. Flickr, the worlds largest gallery of online pictures (by some accounts) rates the amounts of pictures uploaded by each type of camera phone. Guess who just passed the 5 megapixel Nokia N95?

Apple's little gamble paid off. Tearing a page out of Microsoft's playbook, Apple used one monopoly to help it gain marketshare in another. Instead of Operating Systems, Apple used iTunes to spread its Safari browser...and oh boy, did it ever work!

Apple and Google are both hoping to increase their presence in the business world. Google has its Google Apps, Google Mini Search Appliance, and App Engine (with Salesforce.com and many others). Apple wants to sell more Macs and now more iPhones in the business space. Both have complimentary services and both would like to thwart their rival, Microsoft.

So why don't these two titans play together better in the enterprise?

Looks like some code has been found in the latest development release of the iPhone SDK which makes reference to both 3G and EDGE networking. The code...

Agam Shah, IDG News Service is saying that the 3G iPhone will be announced on June 9th at the Apple WWDC. This jibes with my early February predictions pretty well. Apple has typically had about a six week lag between announcing products and delivering them. That would put the release date (when you and I can get our grubby hands on them) at July 21st - thereabouts.

Microsoft might just be backing down from the Yahoo purchase after a better than expected earnings report issued this week. CEO Steve Balmer indicated that Microsoft is prepared to move on in the$44.6 million deal for Yahoo.

Apple released some hard figures today ahead of the webcast...yet another record breaking quarter....

Apple astounded just about everyone today by buying P.A. Semi for $278 million. P.A. Semi is a fabless chip designer that specializes in super low power PowerPC processors.

That's right! Apple could be back in the PowerPC game after abandoning it for Intel three years ago. However, P.A. Semi also works on StrongARM processors - the kind of processors currently in use by the iPod touch and iPhone.

As a Macintosh business consultant, I've built up IT infrastructure for dozens of companies over the past few years. Most of these companies have been under 200 desktops and at least half Macintosh. I've just completed my first medium sized business move to Google Apps, and I have to say I am extremely pleased.

In fact, I find myself in a position to recommend the switch anyone out there is a similar situation.
