An iPhone announcement, the rumour mill going overdrive and blanket media coverage with eager eyed fans waiting to hear those words “One More Thing”. What could possibly go wrong for Apple? Everything. Apple’s expectations failed to live up to the hype.
Apple has just announced that their iCloud service will be going live for all iOS 5 users on October 13 (October 12 US time).
Not much has changed since it’s original announcement. However it has been officially revealed that iCloud will come with 5GB of free storage.
The iPhone 4S has been announced. Sadly, that was the only big major announcement that Apple made at its press conference today. No iPhone 5, and no 4G. But just be happy that its underwhelming announcements had something right – a brand new iPhone.
Apple’s iPhone announcement turned out to be one long announcement to announce several updates to its line, in addition to the iPhone 4S. The company has announced that it will be updating the iPod line slightly, with a new iPod touch that comes in white and slight interface additions.

Samsung’s plan to ban the iPhone and iPad has officially started with the Korean company asking a Dutch court to ban the products made by rival Apple over infringing on patents relating to 3G technologies it holds in Europe.
An eye for an eye. Samsung is gearing up a legal assault on Apple’s highly awaited iPhone 5 in retaliation to the iPhone maker’s attempts to ban its products from sale in Australia, the United States and Europe.

Samsung is now countersuing Apple, claiming that the iPad and iPhone maker has infringed on seven of their patents – all which relate to wireless communications – and plans to have Apple’s own patents that it is using against it invalidated and revoked.

The Samsung/Apple war looks like to get a bit worse for Samsung, with a German court upholding an injunction requested by the iPad maker to ban sales of rival Android-powered device – the Samsung Galaxy tablets.
Yes. We get it. Under Tim Cook, you still are the douchebags. We don’t need you to keep suing poor little Samsung to make us think that. If you haven’t heard, Apple has decide to extend their case to Japan over patent infringements on the iPhone and the iPad.
More rumours are coming from the mill about the iPhone 5. The latest one: that the new device may feature a display that could be less than 4-inch display and a redesigned chassis.
