Apple would launch a “home made” SIM card
Apple is working to draw up a "home made" SIM card. The chip would then be directly included in the iPhone, something to cut the grass under the feet of telephone operators.
The latter would have nothing to do in the process of selling the machine, surely they would make a new one bad eye. Especially since the Apple smartphone a resounding success and that operators of all countries had engaged in fierce battles to be able to offer before their competitors.
If the device is actually put in place, users could then move from an operator to another (for example) without changing SIM cards, from the Internet.
Apple seems determined to get rid of distributors to sell directly to customers.

- Type a number at random, ex: 1234
- Tap on "Call" followed immediately:

Android 3.0 – Available soon !
It became a tradition. Each version of the Google mobile OS is a nickname inspired by a dessert.
The penultimate (Android 2.2) called Froyo, the current version, long awaited, is called "Gingerbread"
Tradition has it that Google makes an unofficial pre-announcement of the launch of each version by installing a few days before the official announcements, a statue in the image of the version being developed.
We can see in the gardens of Mountain View giant lightning, a huge cup cake or a big Donuts.
Since before yesterday, the gallery of cakes has grown with the arrival of a gingerbread man.
The wait before the release of "Gingerbread" is counted so in days. Long before December manufacturers recently announced?

Android 3 arrival
Taiwanese sources close, very close Similarly, hardware manufacturers have confirmed to the local press that Google had assured its partners in the arrival of version 3 of its mobile OS for the month of December.
A new certainly very well received by Acer and LG, two companies officially waiting "Gingerbread" (aka Android 3, see above) to launch their new devices: the famous bars.
Other companies like HTC, Asus, Samsung and Motorola seem to do the same will not seem to use Android 2.2 on these terminals.
These same sources also reveal some interesting figures. A manufacturer must pay 50 $ 60 to use Windows 7 on a shelf, against only 10 for Android.
In projecting a bit, we can expect to see a flowering shelf for the traditional and highly anticipated salonCES Las Vegas.
As for Android 4, it is (already) expected in the second half of 2011.
