Word on the street is that Apple has placed an order of 10 million units from some Asian manufacturer and industry pundits are saying this order is for the 3G-equipped Apple iPhone. Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney turned to his "Asian sources" for this information. Think about why Apple would want to suddenly surge up production like that.

Moreover, no one guarantees they'll release WinMo upgrades for all their devices. Take the Samsung BlackJack for example. It's everything but a new device and the Korean giant has a successor in place (BlackJack II) which is already available. They may opt out of any software upgrade for their older model. I'm not saying that will ... (Full Article)
