Apple Seals the Deal: iPhone 5 Event Set For October 4th

It’s about time.


Apple is hosting its next iPhone event at its Cupertino, California headquarters on Oct. 4. Press invites landed in media inboxes first thing this morning, with a very enticing tag line:


“Let’s Talk iPhone.”


Tim Cook is expected to be master of ceremonies at the event now that he is Apple’s CEO.

The media event is taking place at Apple’s 1 Infinite Loop HQ, out of the norm from past iPhone events held in the city of San Francisco.

At the event, we’ll find out once and for all if we’re getting an iPhone 5 or an additional budget iPhone 4S.

The iPhone 5 is reported to have a larger, possibly edge-to-edge display, a thinner silhouette and an elongated home button.

It’s also expected to house an A5 processor, like that of the iPad 2.


No doubt IPhone 4 users will benefit from any software enhancements through a software update on iTunes, but the question is will it be worth investing in an iPhone 5 / 4GS

Facebook Overhaul...

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg has once again announced changes to the layout of his social networking site.
Facebook has come under fire on numurous forums, Facebook pages and on Twitter on these constant but seeminlgy 'not needed' changes.

The latest being a complete overhaul of its home page, so say goodbye to your old profile you'll now be able to skip to your activity in different years and months using the timeline on the right hand side of your home page.

As well as your profile picture, you will now be able to pick a cover picture which will stretch across the top of your page.

The new Acitivity Log allows you to see what you've added on your Timeline and any other notifications. To make things easier privacy for each piece of content can be controlled and even deleted from here.

New apps have been introduced (Spotify) allows you to stream music without leaving the current page or dealing with annoying pop ups.

So will these changes although not welcomed right now push Facebook and it's users to the next level of networking?  Will we see more unhappy users leave Facebook in its 1000's? Or will we just sit there infront of our new look profile page and take it on the chin?
