Rumor has it that Google is working on a new version of Nexus One designed specially for the developing markets like India. The Indianised Nexus One would be a scaled down version of the phone. Although it would not be power-packed, but less features obviously mean lower prices!!!

If the video chat meat spilled over by iPhone OS 3.2 (SDK) wasn’t enough, there is even more evidence that the next-gen iPhone would get a front facing camera enabling video calling.

The iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G and the 1G iPad – all of them lack a front camera. So there is no point of the iPhone OS supporting video calling / chat. However developers have unearthed references to video chat interface in the upcoming iPhone OS 3.2. The new OS that would go live with [...]

If you are one of those who believe what Credit Suisse analyst Bill Shope predicts; then you sure aren’t buying an Apple tablet anytime soon. Expecting a strategy similar to the original iPhone in 2007 (a $200 price cut was seen just a couple of month after the release of the 2G), it is now [...]

We certainly aren’t used to Apple leaking such meaty details so easily, but as it seems there is a mention of the January 27th event in the Apples agreement with iPhone app developers.

Its been a few crazy months listening to all the wild predictions about the Apple tablet. If at all the Apple tablet does a no show at todays Apple event (like the iPhone Nano did last year) it would be really embarrassing for more than a few tech journos.

If data from Flurry is to be believed, the Cupertino campus of Apple is testing as many as 50 iTablets and they have tested over 200 different apps in a recent spike of activity. The fact that Flurry is tracking the activity back to Cupertino is certainly the most convincing point.
