iPhone 5 Coming in June?

According to a Foxconn recruiter, we’ll see a new iPhone in June of this year.

The recruiter suggested the iPhone would be headed our way this summer in an interview with TV Tokyo’s “World Business Satellite” broadcast Monday.

In the interview, a reporter asked the recruiter how many people the company was looking to hire, and he answered “We’re looking for 18,000 employees … for the fifth-generation phone.”

The reporter went on to clarify that the recruiter was talking about the iPhone 5, and the recruiter added that the next generation of the handset will come out in June.

The iPhone 5 — or, if Apple maintains the naming scheme it started with the iPad, the “new iPhone” — will actually be the 6th iPhone released by the company.

RIM is now worth less than its assets

A fall in the share price of battered BlackBerry maker RIM puts the firm's market value below the value of all its stuff today.

The Canadian company's tablet product has become increasingly difficult to shift from the shelves, with retailers first slashing prices and then touting them in a buy-one-get-one-free offer.

One of the issues with the device is its lack of a native email client, a situation the company was supposed to be remedying with an update over the summer. Last week, however, RIM announced that it was deferring the OS upgrade until February next year. Even worse, that update still won't include BlackBerry Messenger.

Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia 900 leak just before Nokia World 2011 kicks off

Ladies and gents, the much anticipated Nokia Windows Phone devices seem to have leaked out in their final version hours before Nokia World 2011 kicks off. Welcome, Nokia's "bunch of phones:" the Nokia Lumia 800, the Nokia Lumia 710 and the Nokia 900, but keep that shade of doubt about the veracity of their specs and the actual names until the official announcement confirms those.

In the meantime, though, we'd mention that they definitely look credible – the Nokia Lumia 800, previously appearing under the Sea Ray codename, has now been confirmed to look almost exactly like the MeeGo-based Nokia N9. The biggest difference will be in the smaller screen – the N9 has a 3.9” display, while the Lumia 800 is expected to feature a 3.7” AMOLED screen.
