It has been reported that Apple will use Intel’s ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) platform for its next-generation devices. We speculate that this might include an ultra-portable laptop and a touch-based device that might look like a bigger iPhone.
The Intel “Menlow” platform is very important for upcoming gadgets: it is made of “Silverthorne”, a tiny, low-power processor and “Poulsbo”, the chipset that controls the motherboard.
Is it surprising that Apple goes to Intel for this stuff? Not really, simply because there aren’t a lot of options out there. There’s no way that Apple will use VIA, like many others do, because they are too low-end. It is also unlikely that Apple would try to build this by itself. The good news is: expect ultra-small computers from Apple in 2008.

I always liked the fact that arcade games scenarios can usually be written on a smurf’s Kleenex, but what’s good for a beat-them-up fighting game might not be such a good idea for a Hollywood movie. People just don’t learn form the past, let’s say from… Street Fighter 2, the movie.
Anyhow, the man who is supposed to pull this off is Dwight Little, whose work can be seen in Steven Seagal’s “Marked for death”… (Tekken 5)

Apple is looking for a QA engineer that would test their Exchange and outlook functionality in the iPhone. Well, at least that means that there is something to test.
Many professionals have to carry an iPhone and a Blackberry, which not always an optimum solution. With a good, native support for Exchange, the iPhone will go from being a very cool cellphone for Yuppies, to a productivity tool like a Blackberry (slight exaggeration). Who will be hurt the most in your opinion? Windows Mobile or Blackberry?
Should we expect an iPhone “Exchange Update” soon?
