26th December 2010 -- The Mini iPad or next-gen iPad or the iPad 2 have been talked about a lot over the past months, but nothing’s certain at this point, due to Apple’s secrecy. The Cupertino giant could be working on a smaller iPad (7 inch screen), or they could be simply upgrading the screen of the current tablet and adding it a camera or two. However, the following live pictures makes us think of the Mini iPad again…. http://tiny.cc/ipad7
This leaked shot shows a race car driver from Taiwan, Jimmy Lin holding the tablet, so it could be a knock-off of the slate made locally. Lin seems confident that the gadget in his hand is the next iPad, although this is kind of impossible at this point. I guess we’ll get confirmation at CES 2011, in case Apple decides to show its goodies (iPad 2, iPhone 5) in Vegas.
The device in the image sure looks genuine, but we’ve seem so many clones and copies that we don’t know what to believe any more…

22 July, 2020---The iPhone 4's controversial antenna may experience drops in signal, but there's no dropping when it comes to Apple's financial results. They exceeded even Apple's own expectations leading them to break all sorts of records.
In the third fiscal quarter of 2010 (which ends on June 26), Apple's revenue is 15.7 billion US dollars and the net profit is 3.25 billion dollars. Just an year ago those figures were 9.73 billion dollars revenue and 1.83 billion dollars net profit.
The record income comes from record sales - 8.4 million iPhones were sold during the quarter (an astonishing 61% growth compared to last year's third quarter) and the Mac lineup of computers sold 33% more units as well. The iPads reached 3.27 million units sold.
About 52% of the revenue is due to international sales. It seems the only things that have fallen down are the iPod sales, which took an 8% dip (not really unexpected), and the gross margin which fell to 39.1% (down from 40.9%).
All eyes are on the fourth quarter now - and Apple has some bright plans for it. They are predicting a revenue of 18 billion US dollars for Q4. Considering they over-fulfilled their expectations for this quarter, they'll probably reach that goal and maybe even go further.
