One such prototype, the report claims, features a slide-out physical keyboard similar to the one seem above (which is a hardware accessory for the currently iPhone 4).

 

iPhone 5 to Enable Ambitious Remote Computing Program?

Planning to buy an iPhone 5? Here's some good news for you. iPhone 5 will bring a very interesting feature, remote computing, based on NFC (Near Field Communication) technology according to a report from CultOfMac. If the iPhone 5 will be really NFC-enable phone, it means that we can carry multiple desktop settings about our Macs around with us, on our phones, and upload them to a destination Mac of our choice.

If users wave a NFC-equipped iPhone at a NFC Mac (they need to be in close proximity to interact), the Mac will load all their applications, settings and data. It will be as though they are sitting at their own machine at home or work. When the user leaves, and the NFC-equipped iPhone is out of range, the host machine returns to its previous state.

“The Mac authenticates with the iPhone, which contains a lot of the information the computer needs, such as bookmarks, passwords and other data,” said our source, who asked to remain anonymous. “The system would essentially turn any Apple computer into your own — like you’re actually working on your own computer. Same settings, look, bookmarks, preferences. It would all be invisible. Your iPhone would be all you needed to unlock your Mac.”

The report also indicates that small items of information would be stored directly on your iPhone as password, documents, and settings files. But the larger items would be stored in the cloud to be included in the service, given the sizes of those items and the relatively slow transfer speeds used in NFC. This is only rumor and we may never see this but it would be very interesting if Apple really did that. Stay tuned as we'll keep you updated about the topic.

 

The Banned White iPhone 4 Promo Video [Humor]

We all knew that Apple has delayed white iPhone 4 for three times, first when it announced it in July, then in August till later this year and from about two days until spring 2011. We also got some reports that it was canceled by Apple. So, while waiting for a 'white iPhone 5', let's have some fun with a banned white iPhone 4 promo video.

If you waited for the white iPhone, you’re an idiot. You’re a stupid human being who has waited 5 months for a phone that’s a different color. That you’re just gonna put a cover on anyway. So you’re a fool. In fact, why don’t you go get an EVO or something? Or a Droid. 2. They apparently does.

 

Apple is Working on Verzion-Compatible iPhone 5

iPhone 5 news time! It's our first post here about iPhone 5 and it may be called big news. WSJ reports claims that Apple is planning to start mass production of a new Verzion-compatible iPhone 5 by the end of 2010. If you don't know, Verzion is carrier company, the same as AT&T which sells carrier locked devices.

5-th generation iPhone is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year carrying alternative wireless technology called CDMA and a new key chip by Qualcomm Inc. products.

The new iPhone would be similar in design to the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T Inc. but would be based on an alternative wireless technology called CDMA used by Verizon, these people said. The phone, for which Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip, is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year, according to the same people.

We also has noticed that AppleInsider reports that Apple is working on two new iPhones with larger and smaller screens (got it?). One is as small as the Nano and the other is larger than the current form of iPhone, those two iPhones should be launched as soon as early 2011. We don't know anything more but we are sure that Apple is working on fifth-generation iPhone.
