There is no question about Windows Vista being a PR failure for Microsoft. But so is iPhone 4 turning out to be one for Apple. Speaking at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference, the Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft Kevin Turner called iPhone 4 a Windows Vista of Apple. "It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that.”, said Turner in his keynote address on Windows Phone 7 at Microsoft WPC. He further added:
Apple has just released iOS 4.1 for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd and 3rd gen. If you currently rely on a jailbreak, it is highly recommended that you avoid updating to iOS 4.1 until any further notice. I am currently testing iOS 4.1 and will report back as soon as I have more on it. Stay tuned !!

Previously, we showed you how to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard using VMware in Windows 7. Since VMware license costs a lot, the good news is that you can now install OS X in Windows using one of the most popular free virtualization software called VirtualBox.

The well known International trade site Alibaba.com has posted some iPod touch parts, which they claim are from the upcoming next-gen iPod touch which is expected to be unveiled in September of this year.

According to a recent tweet by a twitter user @MaxdMerc, a guy working at the Apple Store, Lakeside (UK) has reportedly confirmed that the next firmware update might be delayed slightly due to Apple working on a fix to patch the hole, recently used to jailbreak iOS 4.
