While we've had rumors on top of rumors surrounding the iPhone 5, but ever since the iPad 2 announcement, many of them have been contradictory. Will the next iPhone be a complete redesign of the handset or are we in for a more iterative approach, similar to that of the iPhone 3G/3GS release? What if we're in for a surprise and both are true?

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Samsung's Galaxy S II has barely been launched and thanks to developer Chainfire of XDA-Developer fame, it has been rooted already for full file system access.
Things are starting to hot up in the mobile operating system wars, with Apple's iOS and Android from Google battling it out for supremacy in the pockets of the world. While the two giants battle it out though, it's always worth remembering they aren't the only two boxers in this particular ring. Microsoft has high hopes for its Windows Phone 7 platform, though a lack of apps has held the OS back thus far. Now Microsoft is looking to rectify that by giving developers an easier way to port their iOS apps to WP7.
Back in the early days of jailbreaking, there was a young Cydia competitor going by the name of Icy. Working in a similar way to Cydia, Icy was always the faster, smoother and generally shinier app aggregator and download service. Unfortunately development on the app was ceased but now it's on its way back, and you can download a beta version right now.
The PSN hacking saga just took a turn for the worse, with news that a database containing around 2.2 million sets of credit card details are currently up for sale to the highest bidder.
Microsoft today released its Q3 2011 financial results and they're good with the numbers beating those expected by all the analysts with net income reaching a staggering $5.23billion.
We first heard yesterday about the possibility of Google's Android 2.3.4 bringing video calling to the Nexus S, thanks to a tweet from a supposed Samsung employee. Now Google has confirmed that this is indeed the case, and the update will arrive in the 'next few weeks'.
The wedding of the year (well, apart from mine!) is just hours away. Millions upon millions will be watching the Royal wedding live on TV, but what if you're unlucky enough to be out of the house when the big event takes place? Don't worry, Redmond Pie has got your back, thanks to YTLive.
While we're sure nobody will be surprised by this, it's still a little disappointing that it's happened nonetheless. With Sony admitting yesterday that its PlayStation Network had indeed been hacked with personal details (and potentially credit card numbers) stolen, it was always a matter of when, not if someone was going to sue them.
Apple's mythical white iPhone 4 is finally on the cusp of a release, with the handset going on sale in just a few short hours. Some lucky buyers got their a little early though, and iSpazio has done just what any self-respecting fanboy (or girl) would do - taken some video of the phone's antenna and proximity sensor performance.
