June 22nd is reported to be the day Apple will unveil their latest iPhone iteration, the iPhone HD. According to Wall Street Journal and Engadget, this date is no longer just a rumor but a fact. There hasn’t been any official word from Apple about exact release date though!

Check out the expected features of iPhone 4G as on June 22nd, 2010 here!

AT&T got into trouble for last few months since when we have heard a lot about the network infrastructure of the company. But on the other hand, company is reported to be the nation’s fastest 3G network not a self claimed but according to third party studies conducted by PC World and Gizmodo.

Along with building up better network, AT&T has identified some crucial areas where iPhone needs tweaking. According to a report on the Wall Street Journal, AT&T identified crucial areas where the iPhone required tweaking in order to reduce load on the AT&T network while performing simple tasks like detecting the closest cell tower or checking for available text messages. Apple worked closely with AT&T to effect these positive changes. Complementing Appple’s effort, John Donovon, the chief technology officer at AT&T remarked that Apple was past “networking 101, 201 or 301″ and are now “in a Master’s class”.

Behind a great success there’s a great planning and this is what Apple does. Apple store employees never happen to see or use the iDevices until they’re up for sale. why this is so?

Well, this is the planning and Apple has always been secretive about its upcoming products. Back in 2007, when iPhone was launched, the company arranged for guards and decoys for each of the Apple Stores just to ensure that information about the product did not leak out until the moment the device was up for sale.

Same is the case now, iPad though being announced publicly with videos, demos and pictures is still unavailable for Apple Store employees. Everyone has their own point of view on the matter, but something almost everyone agrees is that this is the marketing strategy of Apple. By creating curiosity, Apple creates more and more desire for the product which leads to increase the demand and so sales!

The latest update about iPhone OS 4.0 on AppleInsider says that iPhone OS 4.0 will finally allow multitasking so that users can use multiple third party iPhone apps in the background. Along with multitasking another important feature will be Universal mailbox.

Those familiar with the design of iPhone 4.0 said that the user interface will resemble Apple’s desktop Expose feature, in that a key combination — reportedly hitting the Home button twice — will trigger an expose-like interface that brings up a series of icons representing the currently running apps, allowing users to quickly select the one they want to switch to directly. When a selection is made, the iPhone OS zooms out of the Expose task manager and transitions to that app.

Everyone is trying their best to be prominent in apps war and so is doing eBay. Lately eBay launched a new seller app for the iPhone. This new app allows users to list items they want to sell in less than 60 seconds right from the smartphone. Kind of interesting yet useful app for serious sellers on holidays or those who want to work 24 x 7.

BBC recently announced that all of its iPhone app development is on hold at the moment. BBC seems to be proactive as this step is reported to be taken as a result of another news organizations complain. The news company complained about the possible effects on the market the apps could have.

Verizon has gained in stock price on new talks of iPhone coming to the network. Verizon’s gain in stock on the other hand caused AT&T’s share fall. The two are already in tough competition and according to the current environment, IPhone users are likely to migrate in droves away from AT&T once the iPhone is available elsewhere in the US.
