Jefferies analyst Peter Misek has just coughed up a crusty old bezoar of regurgitated iPhone 5 rumors. You know pretty much all of them: that the next iPhone will be called the iPhone 4S (debatable, doubtful), that it’ll boast an A5 dual-core SoC (a certainty) and that it’ll be coming to Sprint and T-Mobile (maybe).
He does make one interesting new claim, though: the next iPhone will boast HSPA+ mobile broadband speeds. Depending on which carrier you believe, that might make it a 4G phone.
What do you when you’re a maker of illegal Chinese iPhone knockoffs and the police come with a battering ram to your door? It starts raining fake iPhone 5s. Hallelujah?
When the police arrived at the Shenzhen shop, four Chinese iPhone knockoff dealers decided to get rid of the evidence… by flinging almost a thousand clone smartphones, including one purporting to be the still unreleased, unannounced iPhone 5 out of their windows.
The only problem? They were eighteen stories up. Although no one was hurt, several cars and fences were smashed by the deluge of fake Apple products.

In a disc-less age, what is a disk burning platform to do besides re-invent itself? The challenge is which way to steer your product. In the case of Roxio and its market-leading disc burning tool Toast, that direction points down two different paths. I’ve long been a Toast user, and recently spent some time with Toast 11, the latest version, focussing on everything but its ability to create optical media.
One path Toast is taking is to focus on its core strengths and make use of its encoding and decoding expertise by becoming a media conversion utility. The second direction appears to be more of a business partnership move, through the creation of a software bundle with other vendors whose programs complement Toast.
This is new the login screen in Lion Developer Preview 3, which was just released this afternoon. It has a silvery background and new icons for Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down across the bottom of the screen.
The new Developer Preview features several other UI tweaks, including new wallpapers and the Reading List in Safari, detailed here.
