5 millions iPhones sold?

Posted by Devicer @ 04:21 pm

That’s what rumor site 9to5 Mac is claiming. The site posits that Apple is poised to announce that it has sold 5 million iPhones. The announcement will supposedly come during January’s Macworld Keynote address. Given Steve Jobs’ initial desire to push 10 million units by the end of 2008, it’s safe to say that the company could be well on their way to achieving that goal. If true, this announcement would be the first official iPhone sales milestone following the initial “1 million sold celebration” that occurred just 74 days after the product’s launch. We’ll have to wait until Macworld to find out for sure, but we wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if this turns out to be true.

First picture of Motorola Z12 Zine 5 megapixel camera phone

Posted by Devicer @ 08:46 pm

The information about upcoming high megapixel Motorola camera phones keeps leaking piece by peace. We first heard about 5 megapixel Motorola/ Kodak cameraphone back in October. Then, few weeks ago, the existence of 5 mpx Motorola handset was confirmed by Motorola Spain.

Today, if the image on Chinese tech site IT168.com is for real, we may have first visual confirmation of this phone:




The phone should be announced in Q1 2008 and is supposed to be a successor of Moto Z10 3.2 megapixel cameraphone, so would probably be numbered as Motorola Z12, under the ZiNE brand.

According to the earlier reports, Moto ZiNe Z12 should also come equipped equipped with GPS navigation chip and Wi-Fi connectivity.

However, there are a couple of problems with the todays news.

Earlier reports told us that Motorola ZiNe Z12 should have a slim “candybar” form factor, but the current picture fragment indicates a slider shape.
