History repeats itself, they say. Just like Steve Jobs was sacked from Apple in 1985 before his reappearance in 1998, to make Apple the world’s biggest company, Scott Forstall will come back to save Apple from the second demise.

Fast forward to 2018, Scott Forstall is named CEO of Apple Inc. The iOS Director had been forcefully removed from the company in 2012, after being blamed for the iOS 6 debacle, and clashing with Bob Mansfield the Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering.

The introduction of the iPhone 4 is a fact in Belgium. Quite some people have tried to get their hands on one, but not too many succeeded. For example in Antwerp the rumor goes that there were 65 iPhones for the people who queued sinds midnight (see pics below) and only 15 for the morning queue.

In another Mobistar shop in Mortsel there were only 11 but there where 16 preorders, so -5. I checked out some shops in the capital Brussels.

New York, Tony Karakashian, March 12 2010.

The latest buzz sweeping the blogosphere concerns a rumor that the iPhone OS 4.0 MAY finally offer the ability to multitask.  Apple’s taken a lot of flack over the years for not offering what is probably the most basic of features in today’s computing environment.

Around February the lower storage version, to put prices down even further, and in the summer the iPhone ‘4 G’.

Before we talk about the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)/Mac tablet that Stefan absolutely believes is a crock of bullshit, let’s talk about the latest iPhone OS 3.1 beta release. The still-developing iPhone OS 3.1 beta contains a USBConfiguration.plist that refers to some sort of “iProd” device.
