This week Apple purchased of the chip design firm P. A. Semi and speculation has been rampant about what it all means.
Well the Journal is reporting that Jobs spoke recently about Apple’s relationship with Intel saying:

We have a great partnership with Intel. We expect that to continue forever.

Flickr Launches Videos!

Posted on 8 April 2008 in News | No Comments »

Flickr’s turn to get into the embedded videos market, with its new service for artists: Flickr Videos beta! Videos can be only 90 seconds in length and 150MB in size for the moment, but they will probably increase this small size of course!

Flickr, which was acquired by Yahoo in March 2005, defined the concept of photo sharing, but has been slow to extend the service into the video world. In the meantime, Google’s YouTube has become the primary destination for video sharing, capturing one out of every three of the online videos in the U.S., according to comScore Media Metrix

3G iPhones are Coming

Posted on 2 April 2008 in News, iPhone & iPhone 3G | No Comments »

(Fortune) — Apple is gearing up for a big bump in sales of the next generation iPhone, the 3G iPhone, if new production plans are any guide, according to fortune magazine.

The plans show the faster iPhone will be rolling off the assembly line this summer. The initial order calls for 11 million iPhones to be built this year, with that total split between the existing 2.5G phone and the upgraded 3G phone, according to people familiar with the plan.

Apple appears to be targetting a June introduction of the 3G version of the phone, roughly a year after the original iPhone’s debut. And similar to last year, Apple seems to be scheduling a limited initial supply to be followed by more phones in the fall quarter.

Observers are split on how to interpret the plans however.
