According to a report by DigiTimes, a rumor around the supply chain in Taiwan is that Apple is going to adopt a curved cover glass for the iPhone 5.
Cover glass makers are reluctant to commit investment to the purchase of glass cutting equipment due to the high capital involved, said the sources. However, in order to push forward the production of curved glass, Apple reportedly has purchased 200-300 glass cutting machines to be used by glass makers, said the sources. The glass slicing machines are currently being stored at associated assembly plants and will be brought online once yield rates for the production of curved glass reaches a satisfactory level, the sources revealed.

Lenovo Introduces Slimmest, Most Powerful All-In-One Desktop for Business Pros Unveils ThinkCentre Edge 91z, First of New Edge-Branded AIO Lineup
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – May 17, 2011: Lenovo announced today the ThinkCentre Edge 91z all-in-one (AIO) desktop – the first PC in the ThinkCentre Edge family – that blends sophisticated image, purposeful function and productivity into a small, subcompact model. Equipped with up to Intel i7 Quad Core processors, the ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO makes its debut as the industry’s most powerful AIO, as well as the thinnest, measuring just 2.5 inches. It makes an ideal office or home tool for small-to- medium businesses, education customers and power professionals looking for style and high performance with the convenience of a small footprint.
“Until recently, all-in-one desktops lacked the powerful performance many desktop users need, but the ThinkCentre Edge 91z all-in-one turns the paradigm on its head with supercharged processing power and robust graphics all in a sporty and stylish design,” said Tom Shell, vice president, ThinkCentre Marketing, Lenovo. “It forms a unique combination of style and substance, outpacing the competition in performance, fast boot up, serviceability and price.”
Thinnest AIO Dressed to Impress
The ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO sports a 21.5-inch glossy high definition screen, making images crystal clear. While the screen makes a large visual impact, its industry-leading thin frame helps it fit into even the tightest of work spaces. A convenient wireless keyboard with comfortable island-style keyboard tucks neatly under the AIO to complement its minimalist look. This compact design helps save up to 70 percent of space versus a traditional tower desktop and LCD monitor1.
Features and Function With Purpose
By definition, AIO desktops should be easy to set up. The ThinkCentre Edge 91z makes it even easier – just plug in and go. The AIO keeps this simplicity and purposeful design constant throughout its construction: From a spill proof wireless keyboard, front-facing control buttons and wall mount capability to multiple-display support, the AIO makes operation intuitive.
Most Powerful AIO PerformerWhen it comes to performance, the ThinkCentre Edge 91z comes fully loaded from “power on.” With Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows 7, the AIO boots 30 percent faster than non-optimized models2, and with RapidDrive on optional solid state drive models, users can shave off up to 20 seconds of boot time2. Armed with up to Intel i7 Quad Core processors, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, 80 GB solid state drive storage or 1 TB hard drive and optional 1 GB of ATI discrete graphics, the AIO pushes the envelope as the industry’s most powerful AIO.
The ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO provides a first-class multimedia experience too. With support for HDMI and an optional Blu-ray DVD drive, watching high definition videos looks seamless and crystal clear. Or, users can stream video on the AIO’s big screen using its WiFi capabilities. They can also video chat with the AIO’s built-in web camera.

Its been a month and more since the new Web OS devices were announced by HP, we have no news or reports of them heading to India. We hope the devices reach India soon, before we run out of the urge to test the new version of WEB OS.
The leaked HTC Pyramid we saw earlier may now be called the HTC Sensation and may possibly launch at the event mentioned in the invite below, this device could be anything from a 1.2 GHZ dual core device to a GSM version of the EVO 3D, we wont know until we know. So we will let you know!

The new design of the touchscreen fitted iPod Nano was quite a controversial one, and it looks like Apple is adding a camera to it. The leak comes from a very reliable site, one whicha has a good track record, especially with Apple rumors.
The only thing that makes us wonder about the actual existence of this design is the positioning of the clip, the camera hole seems to be in the exact location of the clip hinge.
The Nokia E6 caught earlier, has been detailed yet again in this cleaner more visible picture, and what more this time the display is actually turned on.
The UI looks nice and clean, with large touchable icons. Whats more , the grid layout also looks half decent. YOu can also see the updated Symbian^3 operating system with 4 homescreen dots and different widget placements.
The only thing bothering us is the fact, that despite announcing the discontinuation of Symbian on Smart-phones, Nokia is still persistently set on releasing Symbian based phones this year, which will become obsolete once the company ditches the OS for Redmond’s baby

Pictures of what looks to be a Sony Ericsson prototype running Windows Phone 7 have recently surfaced. “Julie” the name that was given to a sliding prototype WIN 7 handset when SE was named Manufacturer at the WP7 event last year. It is becoming more and more apparent that manufacturers are keeping their options open in terms of Mobile OS selection and the demand for Windows Phone 7 Devices is far more than anyone would have anticipated. The only problem that remains to be showcased tis the difference in the hardware manufacture process. While all manufacturers are in an ability to provide similar hardware, what a manufacturer does better is what will set them apart in the coming future. Lets wait and watch.
