Some anonymous rumors said that Apple will introduce an iTunes subscription service in September.
MacDailyNews, MacRumors and The Unofficial Apple Weblog are all reporting about a tip saying something about a $129-a-year iTunes service that would piggyback on Apple’s MobileMe service (for a iTunes/MobileMe combo, a user would have to pay $179).
So, if we are talking about subscription services, iTunes could be a killer for the other companies. Zune Pass, Rapsody to Go or Napster are all around $179 for a one year subscription and they don’t work with Apple Ipod. eMusic the only one that works with Ipods, and the only one that is less expensive ($143 per year) has no unlimited download plan, only 30 downloads per month.
So, I’d say the iTunes subscription could be the next big thing Apple has to offer, it will work with iPods, iPhones, iTouchs and with any other mp3 player device.
Yes, the new Apple Iphone 3G is ready, and stores have already sold it. You know most of the new things on the cellphone from here. I hope it will be better than the first version, I didn’t get the opportunity to get my hands on one yet, but I really don’t want to put together another top 5 reasons why Apple Iphone sucks.
GPS and 3G is good, better battery and improved placement for 3.5mm audio jack are also nice, but the most spectacular feature is the price. At $199 it can be a best buy for many, but hey, if you feel the need for more information check out the guys at testfreaks for more mobile tips.
I’m so excited to tell you that the first ever green cell phone is invented. Why ever green? Because it’s using solar power.
HiTech Wealth telecommunications has just begun selling the S116 and the specs are pretty impressive. However, the $510 pricetag will have you wondering why you don’t just get an iPhone. A 1.3 mpx camera, and an MP3 player are fairly standard additions to cell phones these days, but the solar panels do make this guy stand out.

The panels trickle-charge the battery in any amount of light, including indoors (or even by candlelight), and the battery life is 2.5 times longer than it would without the panels. An hour of direct sunlight will give users 40 extra minutes of talk time.
Grunding U900 is a phone running Linux that supports UMTS 3G connectivity.
It has two cameras and one camera has flash.
The internal memory is just 100 MB but it supports microSD cards.
Also you have a FM Tuner, GPRS, WAP and HTML browsing on a 262k QVGA display.
The phone isn’t lunched yet so I don’t have a price and a product link.

The triband (EGSM 900, GSM 1800/1900) Nokia 3110 classic is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2007 at an estimated retail price of 150, excluding taxes and subsidies.
“The Nokia 3110 classic delivers on the promise of honest performance, dependability over time and up to date styling,” says John Barry, Director, Mobile Phones, Nokia. “The Nokia 3110 classic has several little crafted details that most people will not notice, like thicker plastic and a larger antenna to make the phone more dependable. To keep up with the latest trends in mobile phones, the Nokia 3110 classic also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player with expandable memory and an FM stereo radio.

A convenient USB port and Bluetooth support also makes it quick and easy to transfer songs, images or calendar events directly from your PC to your phone.
A broad range of enhancements also gives users the choice of customizing their Nokia 3110 classic device. For example, the new Nokia Bluetooth Display Car Kit CK-15W offers a number of functions that allow easy in-car communications. With its bright 2.2 inch color display, consumers can easily view and control call functions while the separate input device provides controls over volume adjustment and accepting or ending calls.

Apple and Cisco settled their dispute concerning the Iphone trademark.
After launching the Iphone, Apple was sued by Cisco, which owned the trademark since year 2000.
The agreement says that both companies can use the “Iphone” trademark on their products and no other action will be taken regarding the Iphone.
Other terms of the agreement are confidential, so we don’t know what Apple had to pay, if this was the case.

On 9th January at Macworld 2007 Apple revealed its firts phone, the long-awaited Iphone. But it was partly a disappointment. Why is that ? I’ll give you the top 5 reasons:
1) Apple Iphone has NO 3G
You put a 3.5″ touchscreen TFT display with a resolution of 320×480 pixels on the phone, you call it somewhat “Internet-oriented” and you ONLY GIVE IT EDGE ? This is an outrage to say the least.
2) Apple Iphone has a 2MP Camera
This is more than “last year”, how can you come in 2007 and annouce that your highly expected phone has a 2MP camera. That’s insane, Nokia N95 will have a 5 (FIVE) MP camera, and plenty more mobile phones have already at least a 3MP camera
3) Apple Iphone comes with 4Gb or 8GB of memory
Oh no they didn’t, but … they DID. They have only put a maximum of 8GB in the Apple Iphone. You bring products with 80GB and you put in your phone only EIGHT ? Bad Apple, bad, bad, bad …
4) Apple Iphone battery life
With the 3.5 inch touchscreen display, and the thickness of 11.6mm, you can expect Apple Iphone battery to die after even less than 2 days of music listening, talking on the phone and surfing the web. Unacceptable for this product.
5) Apple Iphone huge price
They are really crazy, the price in Cingular networks for the 4GB model with a 2 year plan is 499$ !!! And for the 8GB one, 599$. They may be relying on Apple fans for sells but that’s too bold, even from them.
here’s a picture of the i-phone.
