Foxconn's Chairman, Terry Gou, has waded into the ongoing iPhone 5 conversation by claiming that the yet unannounced, and entirely rumor-filled handset will put the competition to the sword. Specifically, Gou believes that Samsung's Galaxy S III will feel the heat when put up against Apple's iPhone 5.
The Apple versus Samsung debacle has been going on for a considerable amount of time, and with so much back-and-forth between the tech giants regarding who stole which patent, it's quite easy to lose track.
Before the leaked parts surfaced which supposedly offered a clear representation of Apple's upcoming iPhone, many reckoned the Cupertino company would make use of its exclusivity over the heavily-lauded Liquidmetal formula.
Selected MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models are currently available with some considerable savings from U.S. retailer Best Buy. With up to $375 knocked off of prices, the retailer is apparently trying to clear stock to make room for Apple's recently released product updates.

With that in mind, it has now emerged that Taiwanese company Qualcomm is gearing itself up to produce it.
With WWDC wrapped up and iOS 6 now seeding to developers, the Apple-swayed community has well and truly set its sights on the next iPhone, which, depending on which report you read, is said to be shipping from September or October.
When Apple released their iTunes integrated Ping service back in September 2010, it kind of looked to me like as they had just come out of some corporate buzz meeting where social networks were the topic of discussion. Not wanting to be left out of the social circle, I get the impression that Apple threw a couple of engineers into a room and told them to make iTunes a more socially capable beast, eventually giving birth to what we know as iTunes Ping.
One of the expected outcomes of WWDC's opening keynote event was the removal of Google Maps from iOS, with it being replaced by Apple's own in-house solution that not only gives the Cupertino firm more control over the maps experience, but also knocks Google out of its stride on one of the world's most popular smartphones and, let's not forget, tablets.
