The hottest gadget that everyone wants nowadays is of course, the iPhone! You can pickup an iPhone up on contract at a small fee, but your left with the monthly contract payment, which is not for everyone.
Here is a quick way to claim a free iPhone using a referral scheme.
Earlier today, a Japanese blog, Apple.pro, published some images of the next generation iPod Nano. The site believes the hole in the Nano’s clip to be for a 1.3 MP camera. Although this site has had a good history of leaking Apple information, we can not be fully sure. M.I.C. gadget believes that it is
Earlier today, we reported on new photos of an iPod nano casing that appears to support a rear-facing camera. With similar photos having shown up in the past, it was unclear whether Apple was still pursuing the design for a future iPod nano.
M.I.C gadget now weighs in with claims that the pictured device is in fact a two-month old prototype but that Apple has been having difficulties with the 1.3-megapixel camera taking overexposed photos.It’s real, and it’s a two-month-old prototype that has big problems. It comes with an auto iris lens that can be affected by diffraction and blurring when the iris opening becomes too small in bright conditions. Ok, I gotta say it simply, it takes overexposed photos.
According to our factory sources, Apple have problems with the lens aperture for the next-gen iPod nano, the iris is not functioning correctly to allow the advantages of the low aperture to be utilized.Interestingly, the report claims that the user interface for the camera features is finished and that Apple is looking to launch the device late this quarter or early next quarter once it finishes working out the camera issues.
The release would be a significant deviation from Apple’s usual iPod refresh timeline, which has typically seen updates come in the September-October timeframe. But with Apple shaking up its schedules in 2011 by pushing the iPhone back from its usual June release to take the iPod’s place with an October debut, it is possible that other changes to the usual timeline are in store.
The iPods saw only very minor changes last October, with the iPod touch essentially gaining only a white option and a price drop while the iPod nano saw a price drop and a software update that was also compatible with the previous year’s model. The iPod shuffle and iPod classic received no updates at all, making Apple’s 2011 iPod updates by far the most modest in the company’s history. Consequently, Apple could be looking to make more substantial changes to its iPod line, such as the release of a camera-equipped iPod nano, well ahead of the fall 2012 timeframe.
Update: Refuting M.I.C gadget‘s claim that the iPod nano shown in the photos is a two-month old prototype, Apple.pro‘s Anthony Tsai posts this screenshot showing that the photos were in fact originally posted to the Internet in August 2011:
Back in late December, reports surfaced indicating that Foxconn was planning a major expansion of its iPhone production capabilities in Zhengzhou, China, with the company reportedly investing $1.1 billion and working with the Chinese government to recruit 100,000 new workers to the facility.
M.I.C gadget now reports that the hiring notices have gone out and thousands of prospective employees have lined up to apply for the positions.On the 30th of January, thousands of hopefuls stood for hours outside a labor agency located in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, the largest city of Henan province in north-central China. The lines stretched more than 200 meters along the road, and the people who were waiting in line with their applications just hope to get a job at Foxconn, as the electronics contracting giant ramps up its iPhone production at Zhengzhou plant.The report cites articles from the Chinese media noting that many of the applicants have prior work experience, with some of them seeking to transfer from Foxconn’s other facilities in southern China to be closer to home.
Apple is of course in the middle of booming iPhone 4S sales following the device’s launch last October and is now turning its attention to the rapidly-growing Chinese market where the device launched on China Unicom earlier this month and is expected to launch on China Telecom as soon as late next month. The company is obviously also looking ahead to the next-generation iPhone hardware that most expect will debut later this year.
Foxconn and Apple have come under increasing scrutiny over the treatment of employees in Apple’s supply chain, with Foxconn being the highest-profile target due to its employment of hundreds of thousands of workers focused on manufacturing Apple products. Apple CEO Tim Cook has expressed concern over some of the allegations presented in recent media reports while also pointing to the company’s continuing efforts on the workers’ rights front including ongoing audits and outside monitoring of workplace conditions.

Reports coming in from M.I.C gadget and AppleInsider claim that Apple’s Chinese launch of the iPhone 4S is not going particularly smoothly, with violence breaking out ahead of the opening at Apple’s Sanlitun retail store in Beijing. According to reports, the violence has resulted in Apple delaying the planned early opening of the store by at least an hour, with the company potentially having canceled today’s launch there entirely. From M.I.C gadget:
Lines outside the Apple store in Beijing’s Sanlitun district show no signs of shortening, causing frustration for the thousands of fans and scalpers desperate to get their hands on the iPhone 4S. Now some of that disappointment is turning to anger, with reports of fights breaking out between gangs of scalpers, and guess what, Beijing SWAT teams arrived. So, the Apple store employees later announced that the launch of iPhone 4S is cancelled at the Apple’s flagship store in Beijing, and all scalpers are pissed.
Bloomberg notes that Apple’s “main store in Beijing” (presumably the Sanlitun store) is currently being pelted with eggs by customers upset with the delayed opening.

Apple has seen similar large crowds dominated by scalpers at many of its major product launches in China, with teams of people working to purchase as much of the available stock as possible for resale at higher prices. Violence has occasionally erupted both between scalpers and between scalpers and those upset with their strategies.
Update: Bloomberg now has an expanded story on the situation.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s main store in Beijing was pelted with eggs from a crowd of about 500 people after it failed to open on time for the start of sales of the iPhone 4S.
Apple had advertised that the store would open at 7 a.m. At about 7:15 a.m., the crowd began chanting “Open the door!” and “Liars!” after a man with a bullhorn said the phone would not go on sale today, without giving an explanation. The man also declined to identify himself to a Bloomberg News reporter. The crowd chased away a man who tried to stop the egg throwing.
