On Wednesday, T-Mobile joined Verizon in filing an amicus brief in the most recently contested Apple vs. Samsung case over the design of the Galaxy line of tablet computers and phones. The original suit was filed in April in Northern California and covered seven utility patents, three design patents, several iOS app icons, and a number of trade dress designs for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, as well as the packaging for the Apple products.

The entire technology world is looking forward to the Oct. 4 iPhone event at Apple's headquarters, where the tech giant is expected to unveil its next-generation iPhone, presumably called as iPhone5.

Samsung has announced a press event on Oct. 11, exactly a week after Apple's Let's talk iPhone program on Oct. 4. It is expected that Nexus Prime, the flagship smartphone for the Google Android platform, will be officially presented at the Samsung event.

Cases of iPhone 5 have reportedly appeared in AT&T’s inventory list which is adding more hopes that the next generation Apple smartphone can be a more radically revamped iPhone 5 instead of the minor iPhone 4S upgrade.

It appears Facebook will release its iPad app on Oct. 4, the same day Apple is scheduled to unveil iPhone 5.

No one can unhesitatingly say what iPhone 5 will be like until it's release day likely on Oct. 4. However, people are still keen on expecting anything about iPhone 5, especially features of it.

If recent history is anything to go by, then it can be seen that it pays to buy Apple shares whenever the stock drops; something that could make evaluation of the next buying opportunity a meaningful process.

How palatable is the prospect of a new iPhone version being unveiled without the iconic leader having any role at all?

Consumers truly anticipating the iPhone 5 release date, as recent research shows that 41 percent of mobile users in North American have plans to buy one of the Apple smartphones.

Kindle Fire, Amazon's new tablet launched Wednesday, is probably the biggest threat to iPad.

With iPhones being all the hype on the market right now, do we have a need for devices purely serving our musical needs anymore? Why buy iPods when iPhones do it all and more?

Rumors have begun that Apple is going to stop producing the iPod soon, given that people have begun moving to the iPad and iPhone, although Apple has kept mum on the speculation.

Amazon rolled out its much anticipated Kindle Fire on Wednesday, its first fully fledged tablet computer posing a threat to Apple's iPad empire. But other players may also need to watch out.

This isn't rumors or speculation. While Apple is not letting any secrets out, one only has to look as far as its software -- iOS5 -- to understand how it will function.

It has been confirmed that Facebook will launch its iPad app at Apple's iPhone 5 unveiling event next week. The long-awaited application has been floating behind the scenes since May, according to former Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen. On his blog, Verkoeyen revealed Monday that frustration at the app's continually delayed release was a contributing factor to his decision to leave the social networking company.
