iPhone World:
Taiwanese Chinese-language newspaper Economic Daily News reports that Apple lowered the projected number of iPhones to be sold in second fiscal quarter of 2008 (January-March), citing sources at Apple’s handset component suppliers in Taiwan.
According to the newspaper Apple lowered its expectations from 2 million to 1.1-1.2 million units to be sold during these three months.
As of yet Apple did not comment on this story.
However, if this was found to be true, it will be hard for Apple to meet its expected goal of 10 million units sold in the first year since iPhone’s launch, as only 4 million iPhones were sold thus far worldwide.

New York is full of surprises. Apparently if you lose an iPhone, it might actually be returned to you. What a hearty people! However not everyone is so nice. Interestingly enough, one such iPhone has been left in a cab, and returned to its rightful owner, Annie Leibovitz’s (famous American portrait photographer) assistant. However there is a catch, the culprit has downloaded all her contact numbers.
The names include: Laura and Jenna Bush, Jerry Seinfeld, Anna Wintour, Apple CEO Steve Jobs (that one is useful), David Bowie, Clive Davis, Rosanne Cash, Philip Glass, Padma Lakshmi, Nan Goldin, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Michael Madsen, Maureen Dowd, Marc Anthony(man has taste in music), Louise Bourgeois, Lance Armstrong(sport), Julie Taymor, Joan Baez, Jann Wenner, Jamaica Kincaid, Isabelle Huppert, Gus Van Sant, Diane von Furstenberg, David Bailey, Cindy Sherman, Christiane Amanpour(professional journalism), Calvin Klein(and in clothes), Robert Hughes, Betsy Gotbaum, Steven Meisel, Stella McCartney and Knopf boss Sonny Mehta.
It is interesting to note that while a man wanted just to copy contacts; software updated whole iPhone merging his and her contacts. Now the man is in trouble.

Gizmodo claims that AT&T is said to be preparing to make the iPhone more attractive for the subscribers of corporate and business accounts. According to Gizmodo’s rumor the official launch will take place on January 21st, which is tomorrow. The model available for the businessman is said to be the same as the regular iPhone. The main difference is in the tariff, which is supposedly eligible for a $25 per month corporate discount.
The price of the handset itself will supposedly remain the same, but there will be a special activation process. The new tariff will supposedly be available for current and new corporate and business account holders.
But at the same time, 9to5Mac reports that according to their information this corporate plan will be available only in the summer, and will apply only to companies that have over 100 phones working with AT&T. 9to5Mac speculates that this service will be available when the 3G iPhone will come out, and claims that this information comes from an AT&T store.
While these two stories have some common elements, the difference between January 21st launch and summer 2008 launch is quite enormous. Since there’s no way to verify any of this, we’ll leave it as it is, an unconfirmed rumor.

Steve Jobs was expected to unveil a 16GB version for the same price as an 8GB, during his keynote speech at the annual MacWorld Expo in San Francisco.
Acording to www.telegraph.co.uk, that move would infuriate Apple fans who only two months ago queued through the night in the rain to be among the first in the UK to get their hands on the iPhone.
In experts’ opinion Apple’s CEO would not risk infuriating British customers in a similar way as he did in US.
His decision to reduce the cost of the device by $200 within weeks of its release in the US resulted in thousands of furious emails from people who had paid the full price. After that Mr Jobs apologised and promised to give credit notes to customers who had missed out on the discount.
Though, he also told customers: “This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you’ll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon.”
This is how Ben Woodthe, director of research at CCS Insight commented on possible launch of an 16GB iPhone by Steve Jobs: “If he does announce an increase in storage space, it will of course be a disappointment for people queued up for hours to get an iPhone. But it’s not the same as cutting the cost of the handset. I don’t think he would make that mistake again.”
As TechDigest reports, Steve Jobs has not announced Apple’s 16GB iPhone during yesterday’s speech at MacWorld Expo. The announcement of an iPhone with bigger storage capacity is more likely to happen next week, together with the launch of the SDK.
