I think a lot of people will prefer this smaller design to that of the 9900, hopefully the price tag won't hurt as much either.

I think the world would be a better place if the iPhone did turn out to have a 4.5 inch screen. I for one would jump to another handset if the iPhone 5 stays at the current 3.5 inch screen size.

I don't envy those who have to judge what 1% battery looks like on iPhone 3G without the percentage shown, that red bar certainly doesn't look like 1% to me!

Found: ios5 maps application now shows several routes. Forgive me if this has been part of iOS for a while and I haven't realised.

iPhone Apps Lessen Need For iPad

I have noticed lately that there is an increasing trend for iPad exclusive apps to now have an iPhone version, the latest being 4oD. There is already itv player and hopefully soon BBC's iPlayer service. These are the Apps I used to love on my iPad when I travelled home for the weekend but now I can watch TV on demand right on my pocketable iPhone. I think it's reasonable to say it would be comfortable to watch up to an hour long program (40 minutes without adverts) on a 3.5 inch screen and hopefully with iPhone 5 that will improve.

If this really is what it is claimed to be (iPhone 5 test image) then I am stunned. It is beautiful.

Note: It is heavily compressed here

Unknown Sadness

I have no idea what to think of the news of Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO. I do hope his health improves and I hope as Chairman he will still get his visions into every Apple product released while he is still within the company.

A sad day for Apple indeed.

Headline says it all. Sad day, but it was always going to happen sometime. The fact that Jobs is staying on as Chairman of the Board seems like a good sign.

And yes, it was always going to be Tim Cook as the next CEO. There will be a lot of volatility surrounding Apple news over the next few days and weeks. But it’s hard to imagine a better successor.

Apple Wins Patent Battle

Today it was ruled ahead of schedule that Samsung Galaxy S, SII and Ace smartphones must not be sold as of October 13th in some EU countries due to an infringement of how Apple implements swiping between photos.

I'm probably late with this one but the Facebook app for iOS now has a landscape homescreen!

Little Keyboard Bug Fixed in iOS5 Beta 6

Finally a custom keyboard shortcut will work after punctuation. Made the feature useless unless you are one of those people who don't use full stops at the end of sentences. My favourite use is using xc as a shortcut for 10 kisses to the girlfriend.

iOS 5 Beta 6 already has a bug - those two buttons look a bit too high don't they?
