Apparently, Apple is planning to launch a mobile web app for its online store experience. This web app would presumably be based on HTML5, and it's expected to roll out for users next year.

The iPhone 5's expected launch date has changed several times over the last few months. We've heard everything from August to October, and everything in between.
Recently, however, all of the rumors seem to be settling on a late September to early October availability date. And Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac all but confirms that timeframe in this new report...
Until yesterday, I think the entire tech world had written off any chance of Apple's next smartphone supporting a 4G platform. It's a relatively new technology and it doesn't quite have all the bugs ironed out yet — not typically something Apple dabbles in.
However, a recent BGR report rekindled 4G hopes, offering up proof that carriers were testing LTE-capable iPhones. Today, Engadget has even more evidence to add to the pile. Apparently Apple Stores are installing LTE equipment, and they have a picture to prove it...
Apple's retail locations have achieved unprecedented success over the last 10 years. They've received numerous architectural design awards and currently average around $4000 in sales per square foot.

Apple seems to be unstoppable as of late, with it recently being announced that the Cupertino company closed ahead of ExonnMobil as the world's most valuable company. The iPhone is doing well, too. Sales were up for Apple in the previous business quarter, and the unveiling of the iPhone 5 is expected to garner a huge influx in sales this holiday season.
After all is said and done, Apple could very well sell more iPhones in 2011 than every previous year combined. Specifically, if the numbers pan out, Apple could potentially move 100 million iPhone units before the year's end.
Apple recently won a preliminary injunction case in Europe banning the sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. Based on a case of infringed intellectual property, Apple was able to convince the court that Samsung's tablet copied the design of the iPad too closely, and Apple requested a block of all sales in the European Union until the case could be further investigated.
It looks like Apple doesn't mind playing a little dirty. A report has surfaced that Apple could have allegedly tampered with and falsified evidence against the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the ban on the tablet's sales has been lifted in Europe while the court investigates.
