The next major iteration of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS, is scheduled to be previewed at the WWDC conference this summer. We already heard that certain developers have seen their apps tested on the next version of iOS, and it now seems that more and more apps are getting the iOS 5 treatment.
iOS 5 is expected to deliver awesome new features and extensively tie into Apple's rumored and upcoming cloud service. Is Apple already testing third party apps on this mysterious software?
It was recently discovered that the newly released white iPhone is slightly thicker than the original iPhone 4. To everyone that cared, it seemed interesting that Apple would release the practically same device with a different set of dimensions.

The iPhone is selling very well. That's the message that was depicted loud and clear in Apple's first quarter sales results for 2011. Among other very impressive numbers, the iPhone saw 115% growth in mobile market share, making Apple the largest growing manufacturer in the mobile industry.

Earlier this month, we told you that the popular video chat client, fring, was adding four-way video conferencing to its iPhone app. This new feature would allow cross-platform video conferencing with up to four different calls at once.
