Steve Jobs: A Loss to All

It's no doubt that Steve Jobs was an inspiration to the tech community in every way. Many people may not realize it, or care to, but I (and I'm sure many others) would like to explain to you a little something.

Without Steve Jobs, advancement would have slowed, who else would take the risks? Without him, we wouldn't see the absolutely stunning mobile technology we have today, again, who would have taken the risks?

Steve Jobs was famous for being the risk taker, the one willing to fail if it meant taking another step further. At this time I feel that no matter what company you may stand behind, whether you like Apple's products or not, you must realize how much this man gave us.

One last note, Steve Jobs is/was the CEO of Pixar, inc. Many people were not aware of this and I feel it's important that this man represented art in many forms. Not just future technology.

You will be missed, Steve Jobs, be at peace.

Sprints Plan for iPhone 5

Rumors have stated several times that Sprint will be getting the iPhone 5, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise, but what really may help Sprint drive their iPhone 5 sales over AT&T's, as well as Verizon's, is the unlimited data they may be offering along with it.

It is confirmed that the iPhone 4 (and 5 when it releases) will be on Sprint and as an added bonus there are reports that state that there will be a $40 (same as Android) unlimited data plan available for purchase. This might just make a lot of people reconsider Sprint, especially after AT&T and Verizon both dropped their unlimited data plans.

iPhone Set for Early October Release?

So let’s pretend you didn’t already think that was happening and take a quick peek at some proof, shall we?

According to CultofMac and some alleged Best Buy reports the iPhone should in fact be hitting the shelves in the first week of October.

CultofMac reports state that Apple will be issuing press invites soon to the launch of the iPhone 5 which is set to occur on September 21^st in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Earlier reports stated that a higher up in Best Buy informed it’s employees to prepare the battle stations, as early October could be a solid week for them.

Other, also supportive, claims state that Foxconn, the iPhone manufacturer in China, is producing roughly 150k of the most sought after phone a day. Foxconn and Apple are aiming to reach roughly 22 million handsets by the end of the year, says some reports.

While iOS5 wasn’t the most exciting release Apple has come out with to date, it does keep the player in the lead by a good margin.

The newest iPhone is rumored to be running an A5 processor with 1 GB of RAM. Not only will this create a much faster and smoother environment, the phone should actually weigh less than previous models, which is a plus. Add that to the aluminum casing, that has been rumored, and you have yourself a solid featherweight.

Some other features to be on the lookout for are as follows:

Front and Rear facing camera (Rear has rumored 8MP shots and 1080p video capture)
Dual LED Flash (for when one super bright LED just doesn’t cut it)
Built in Panorama mode (for super wide shots)
Built in NFC (a quick way of paying for goods/services by waving your device over a scanner)

Keep your eyes peeled, we are all expecting the drop any day now.
