A report from overseas says that Apple has decreased component orders for the iPhone 4 in anticipation of the next iPhone's release in the coming months. The latest rumor claims an August announcement for Apple's next gen device, and these supply chain reports seem to corroborate that timeframe.
According to the Taiwanese-based DigiTimes, circuit board (PCB) suppliers are seeing a decrease in orders from Apple in the second business quarter. A drop in component orders usually means that a company is gearing up for production on a new product, and that product would of course be the next iPhone.
A new rumor from Boy Genius Report claims that Apple's next gen iPhone will in fact be a major revamp of the current iPhone 4. As the above concept from This is my next shows, the iPhone 5/4S could very well have a slimmer, 'teardrop' design with an aluminum back.
BGR's sources peg the next iPhone announcement for August, instead of the September reports we've been hearing. Instead of an unveiling at Apple's usual music event in September, Apple could break tradition and hold a stand-alone event for the next iPhone in mid August.
Talk about a change of pace. Instead of the cat-and-mouse game that Apple has been playing with the jailbreak community for years, Microsoft has decided to go the opposite route and actually invite hackers to jailbreak the company's own mobile platform, Windows Phone 7.
ChevronWP7 is doing something unprecedented by developing non-approved apps and services for a closed source OS. Microsoft is allowing this initiative in an attempt to make "Windows Phone development more accessible."

We've showed you tons of new features in iOS 5, but we've yet to show you what iOS 5 looks like on something slightly bigger than the iPad. Thanks to the iOS Simulator, you can now see what iOS 5 looks like on a 21-inch touchscreen display!
Stefan Esser, better known as "i0n1c," has been receiving a lot of heat from the jailbreak community as of late. Stefan is a prominent member of the jailbreak developer scene, and he was responsible for the untethered exploit that has been used for the iOS 4.3 jailbreak.
i0n1c recently introduced the idea of banning pirated apps in the iOS 5 jailbreak. He stated that if he were to release the jailbreak for iOS 5, he would consider placing a restriction on installing apps from the infamous 'Installous' repo. Millions of jailbreakers use Installous to download pirated apps.
Hackulous, the group behind Installous, obviously feels very differently about i0n1c's notion. The frontman for Hackulous, known as Dissident, has also shared his thoughts on the issue of banning cracked apps through a jailbreak.
The iPhone has already proven to be a valuable tool in the medical field for doctors and patients, but an upcoming application/hardware accessory takes it all one step further. The iPhoneECG allows you to take a personal electrocardiograph with your iPhone and send it to your doctor.
This groundbreaking invention lets you place the iPhone against your chest and get a realtime readout of your ECG information. When completed, the ECG data will be uploaded and converted into a PDF for physician or healthcare review...
Comex, the creator of the userland jailbreak known as JailbreakMe, has developed a method for a much faster install time in his upcoming jailbreak. He has managed to get rid of Cydia's "Reorganizing Filesystem" message by abandoning the current 'stashing' filesystem approach.
The advancements made in Comex's jailbreak are expected to drastically reduce the time it takes to actually jailbreak an iDevice.

Web app performance in iOS 4 has been disappointing. It's been speculated that Apple has been intentionally handicapping web app performance in iOS 4. When websites are launched from the iPhone's homescreen, loading times become much longer than when a site is opened straight from the Mobile Safari app.
In iOS 5, it's been discovered that fullscreen web apps from the homescreen can access the Nitro Javascript engine that sped up Mobile Safari in iOS 4.3. These "dynamic-codesigning" privileges allow for a much faster web app experience in iOS 5.
