Not even three months after its monumental release, Apple’s iphone is making really big news not only in the traditional media but also in the World Wide Web. iphone news have recently become more than just about features of the touchscreen-phone iPod. In fact, a person around the world search for iphone news even before the phone was launched last June.

When the rumors first came out that Steve Jobs’ Apple will be issuing an iPod with call and SMS capabilities, a lot of people have started calling it an iphone. With no official iphone news from Apple, many bloggers and tech enthusiasts have started discussing about the then-to-be-launched iphone. Soon, more iphone news was published in the Internet.

Truth be told, when Apple made the iphone available to public that very historic Friday in June, iphone news was indeed big news! Customers lined up for the iphone launch. The earliest was Monday, 4-days before the official launch. iphone news has it that many were excited with the product that combines an iPod, amobile phone, and even a wireless Internet device into one.

Apple Fans Love the Latest iphone News

Until today, Apple has never failed to give the Apple lovers and even those who think the cellphone is just hype with all the iphone news they want. The first week of September saw the release of Apple’s newest iPod models: the clip-on shuffle in new colors, the new fatty iPod Nano, the iPod classic, and the iPod Touch. The announcement proved to bring another Apple sensation in the media and the world. Just like iphone news, reports on the newest iPods are taking the world by storm.

However, early iphone adapters are disappointed with Steve Job’s statement that the iPone’s price will go down by almost $200, 3 months after they bought the $599 Apple phone. The change in price came with the release of iPod touch—an iphone without the phone. But 2 days after the announcement during Apple’s The Special Event, Steve Job’s sent out an open letter to the iphone owners that they will be receiving a $100 store credit reward. Now, the iphone owners are more than happy with the rebate after crying foul over the price cut.

Over the past few months of iphone news history, it is easy to note that Apple iphone is not just hype nor hysteria. It can be considered as a breakthrough gadget because it paved the way for many new hi-tech gadgets such as touchscreen phones, touchscreen MP3 players, and of course, the new iPods. http://www.the-iphone.biz

For a company that generates ripples in the market and is famous for its innovative league of products like iPhone, Macbook Air and has withstood stringent competition all around the Globe; a new orientation like a Tablet is most likely to be a subject of hot discussion.

Since it is not only a pragmatic threat to Biggies like Microsoft , HP but also would throw in a huge competition to other Vendors such as Intel, Nvidia depending on the ensemble that Apple would cast on its product.

The buzz was ripe and sprouted right out from OEMs in China. However, the recent updates have cemented the rumors and are pointing towards the launch of an Apple tablet soon.

According to the latest report, Apple is going to have a final design ready in September and the device would then be announced for a November launch. It is assumed that the Apple Tablet PC will cost around a whopping $699 to $799. To justify the high price tag, the 10” device would be able to, among other things, play high-definition video. The source says the device’s video quality “is better than the average movie experience.”

Also, the device may resemble a large iPod Touch with a 10-inch diagonal screen, lacks a keyboard, packs USB, FireWire ports and runs Mac OS X along with a variety of multimedia goodies.

An Apple tablet could be a media centric device

Meanwhile, the company has not announced any details or even the screen size of the future device. But, it is not clear that how this gadget will set itself apart from Apple’s multimedia-savvy product line, for example iPhone and iPod Touch. Keeping the company’s past moves in close consideration, analysts are betting that Apple’s tablet will be a media-centric device and will shake the publishing industry.

Already, Apple is prepared to blow Amazon and other e-book makers from its one key weapon, which is iTunes. With more than 6 billion songs, the iTunes Store has flipped the music industry upside-down. Further, with more than 1.5 bn download from its app store, Apple has yet to enter the e-book market and making downloads for books as easy as music.

Last month, there was also a rumor that the Apple tablet would launch with a secret software project codenamed Cocktail, which is said to be a development in conjunction with the major music labels and would be called as “a new type of interactive album“. The new project will combine photos, lyrics sheets, video clips and liner notes, all gathered into an interactive booklet.

The next question that strikes is what will be the operating system for Apple tablet? Will Apple come up with a netbook iteration of its Mac OSX or it will look for one from the already existing crowd?

The processor is also a question with Apple tablet. As per certain reports, it has endorsed several Atom processors for its tablet. Also, the name of the Apple Tablet is interesting to find out, whether it can be MacBook Mini or iPad, yet to be framed by the company.

At the end, it can be concluded that Apple tablet will be a 10” music centric device, competitor for Amazon book e-reader and may possess comparable speed and performance.
