Adobe to Hold Special Event During Apple’s iPhone Keynote on Tuesday

Are you going to be following Tuesday's special event? I'm not talking about the upcoming iPhone announcement – who cares about that? I'm talking about the other special event. The one held by Adobe at 10am, where the company is supposed to announce new user experiences both in the browser and in apps.

It is unclear who chose the date and time first, but one thing is sure: I doubt many people will be following Adobe's announcement while Apple is unveiling its next iPhone...

The First iPhone 5 Review Hits the Web

After scoring the lost iPhone 4 prototype last year, it was hard for Gizmodo to outdo themselves this year. Yet they still did, by publishing the world's first iPhone 5 review four days before the device is actually unveiled by Apple.

How could they possibly do this? The answer is rather simple: by creating a physical mockup based on the rumors we've heard, but also by focusing their review mainly on iOS 5. The result isn't as bad as you'd think...

Apple Releases iTunes 10.5 Beta 9 to Developers

Following the reset of iTunes March earlier this week, Apple just released iTunes 10.5 beta 9 for developers, a pre-release version of iTunes with iTunes Match beta. iTunes 10.5 beta 9 includes several performance enhancements and bug fixes, and is a required update for all iTunes Match beta subscribers.

If you use iTunes Match beta, remember that your iCloud libraries will be deleted at the end of this beta. This will require you to scan, match, and upload songs again. Also note that some of the features and optimizations of iTunes Match may not be available during this beta...

Samsung Wants to Make a Secret Deal with Apple

The ongoing legal battle between Apple and Samsung just took another turn this morning, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that Samsung offered a secret deal to put off Apple disputes over the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia.

If the deal is accepted, Samsung could start selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia as soon as next week. The details of the deals remain secret, but I do have my ideas...

The $12 Billion iPad Deal That Might Never Go Through

A few months ago we reported about Foxconn's plans to open a factory in Brazil where it would produce iPads. The $12 billion deal is now at risk, according to Reuters.

Citing government officials, Reuters reports that the deal is stagnant, due to disagreements on tax breaks, but also because of the country's unadapted infrastructures and the lack of skilled work force in Brazil...

The Anatomy of an Apple Rumor [Infographic]

Shortly after we published our iPhone 5 facts and rumors infographic this morning, PC World came up with a graphic visual interpretation of its own. In this realistic infographic, the website reveals the anatomy of an Apple rumor.

And they're pretty spot on. But we'll let you be the judge of that...

Beautiful Physical Mockup of the iPhone 5 Made with Real Aluminum

At this point, there are few things we know for sure about the iPhone 5. But what we can assume from the recent rumors and leaked info is that the device might very well be thinner, and sport a larger screen.

Confident that those rumored specs were likely to make it to the iPhone 5, MacRumors made some very convincing renderings of the future device awhile back. Today, German site Giga.de pushes it farther, with a physical mockup prototype of the iPhone 5...

T-Mobile Joins Verizon to Support Samsung Against Apple Litigation

Just like Verizon did last week, T-Mobile has submitted an amicus curiae to the court, officially siding with Samsung in its ongoing litigation against Apple. For the non-lawyers, an amicus curiae is when someone volunteers to offer information to assist a court in deciding on an issue.

T-Mobile's argument is similar to Verizon's. Both company don't want to see any of their best-selling 4G devices banned during the holiday season. Obviously, it would be a huge loss for the carriers, who generate a big chunk of revenue from this time of the year...

Fake iPhone Ring Busted in China

We knew China was the land of knockoffs and copycats. You can easily find an HiPhone 5, and the iPhone 5 hasn't even come out yet. It now appears that you can also find lots of fake iPhone 4's.

The Chinese police busted a gang responsible for a "sophisticated" counterfeit iPhone ring. They came across a group of individuals who purchased various parts in China, and assembled the fake iPhones in their apartment...
