Folks at Engadget have got some very interesting information from a highly reliable anonymous source regarding Apple‘s plans for its next generation product line including iPad 2, iPhone 5 and the Apple TV 3G. There is still no ETA on any of these products or much evidence about to what extent these rumors are true, but from the looks of it, they do sound pretty convincing. Let us briefly discuss these Apple gadgets of future one by one.

The Future Of iPhone 5:

With the recent release of Verizon CDMA iPhone 4, Apple is has made a major shift towards Qualcomm chipset for its CDMA radio instead of Infineon (as in iPhone 4 GSM version) possibly for all future GSM/CDMA iPhones and iPads. It would be safe to assume that the same chipset will be used in iPhone 5 which according to Engadget’s sources, is scheduled for release in summer of 2011. It will be a completely redesigned handset and is reported to be secretly under testing by senior staff within the Apple campus. It is rumored to incorporate Apple’s new A5 CPU (a Cortex A9-based, multi-core chip) and feature a Qualcomm chipset that does triple duty as the CDMA / GSM / UMTS baseband processor.

The Future Of iPad 2:

Engadget’s sources suggest that the iPad 2 isn’t nearly as close to launch as it is being speculated. All the leaked iPad 2 mockups and CES case were rather early versions of the final product. The device will most likely launch around April 2011 as a lot sleeker tablet with same 10 inches, yet a super high resolution screen if not actually Retina as posted earlier. In fact, the iPad 2 may well introduce a new screen technology similar to the Retina display. It will have both front and rear cameras with a built in SD slot instead of the more speculated USB slot. The rectangular notch shown in the photo below might suggest where the SD card slot will be located.

The Future Of Apple TV 3G:

It is in fact most interesting to find out that Apple is already at work on the Apple TV 3G which is quite an upgrade from the 2nd-gen Apple TV. It is rumored to include a newer A5 processor. The CPU is believed to be blazingly fast with ability to smoothly play 1080p content.

The current first-generation iPad features a 1024×768 screen resolution display. MacRumors is now reporting that Apple is likely going to double that resolution for the next-gen iPad 2, taking it to 2048×1536 screen resolution.

This report is based on the finding of developer @StroughtonSmith and @Xuzz on Twitter, who found higher resolution images, accidently left behind by Apple developers in version 1.1 and 1.2 of iBooks for iPad.

Version 1.1 of Apple’s iBooks application seems to have accidentally included some artwork for this hypothetical pixel-doubled iPad. As shown above, the App’s bookmark icon included versions for the iPad, the iPhone and the iPhone Retina Display (iPhonex2). It, however, also included one additional version labeled "iPadx2". Sure enough, this is exactly double the resolution version of the iPad icon and is distinct from the other versions. The most likely explanation for this added graphic is plans for a double-resolution iPad. Apple has since removed this extra artwork in subsequent versions of iBooks.

Based on this information, and persistent rumors of a higher resolution iPad 2, we believe the next iPad will have a 2048×1536 screen resolution. It would also explain why Apple would have to upgrade the GPU on the new devices to drive this higher resolution.

If you recall, Apple did the same with iPhone 4 last year, by doubling the screen resolution to 960×640.

Export Promotion Bureau Website Down Because of Non-payment

By Aamir Attaa · Sunday, Jan 16, 2011 7 Comments

It’s a nightmare for any webmaster to go account-corrupt due to non-payment, especially when you are backed by millions of rupees reserved for the purpose. However, this has been happening in consistent manner with Pakistan’s government websites.

Currently, Export Promotion Bureau website is showing account suspension message from hosting service provider, which is a genuinely very irresponsible behavior of webmaster on his part.

And just in case if you don’t know, hosting server providers send multiple reminder emails for non-payments before locking your accounts.

With this instance of account lock-down, one can safely anticipate that these guys at government institutes don’t check their business emails at all, irrespective of the fact that they are most likely to be equipped with blackberries and high class broadband access at their homes and offices.

One more thing, on an added note, with the hosting account suspension â€" all emails of the board are going to go down, which means no further emails could be sent/received by these officials at Export Promotion Bureau. Apparently this is not going to bother anyone.

This situation is more like: No website means no extra work!

We have written in past about the misery of government websites, and how they can be bettered. But it looks that the caliber of our government is really not in accordance with cyber needs of the time.

You will be amazed to know the fact that recently Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s website went into account-suspension mode due to non-payment.

The very final RTM bits of both Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 have managed to slip through and has landed into the wild just like the previous builds 7601.16537, 7601.16543 and 7601.16562. Build number for Windows 7 SP1 RTM is 7601.17514.win7sp1_rtm.101119-1850 which means that it was compiled on 19th November 2010.

Like most of the Service Packs for Microsoft Windows, this one follows in the same direction, containing all the security and recommended updates that you would usually receive through Windows Update. According to WinRumors, Windows 7 SP1 will include RemoteFX which will provide rich 3D experience for remote computing.

Available in both 32 and 64 bit, the hashes for the leaked build are as follows:

MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.7.SERVICE.PACK-1.RTM.X86.WAVE1.RIP.DVD-WZ.ZUKO

This is not the first time that it has happened to some build of Windows 7. Many Windows 7 builds â€" including M1, Beta, post Beta, RC and RTM were all leaked before their scheduled release dates, or announcements.

Windows 7 RTM was announced back in July 2009. It is publicly available since the official launch, which was held on October 22nd 2009.

Windows 7 SP1 Release Candidate was officially released in October last year.

We know that the iOS 4.3 Beta’s code hints at new models of the iPhone and the iPad, and now Engadget reports that it has substantial evidence to believe that the iPhone 5 will get a complete redesign, the iPad 2 will get a Retina Display, and the Apple TV will get 1080p video amongst a host of other features.

Have a look of what the new features might possibly be:

iPad 2
Apparently the mockups which have received so much press coverage of late are very early versions of the device and contrary to rumor, the new iPad will arrive in April. The display will sport a new technology similar to the Retina Display and be “super high resolution”. It will get front and rear cameras, and feature an SD slot. “In fact, see that weird notch in the photo below? That’s where the SD part will be located.”

The new iPad will also feature a dual GSM / CDMA chipset produced by Qualcomm.

iPhone 5
Engadget’s sources report that the iPhone 5 will be a completely redesigned handset and will launch this summer. It is already being tested by senior Apple staff on campus only. It is said to be running a new A5 CPU and will also sport a Qualcomm chipset that “does triple duty as the CDMA / GSM / UMTS baseband processor â€" from what we hear there’s no LTE in the mix at this point.”

Apple TV
Apple is also said to be working on a next generation Apple TV that will feature the new A5 processor as well. “The CPU is said to be blazingly fast, cranking out 1080p video ‘like running water.’ It’s likely that the A5 will make it into the iPad 2 as well, but we have yet to confirm that”

If this concrete evidence is actually true, we shall be seeing some really awesome features on the next generation iPhone, iPad and AppleTV, however we obviously have to wait until Apple actually releases these devices to see whether or not they live up to these claims.
