Apple Delays White iPhone Until Spring 2011

  

Apple, this is getting ridiculous. You first said that there would be a slight delay of the white iPhone, then at the end of July, then later on this year, then around Christmas and now you moved the date again to spring 2011! The iPhone 5 might be released before the white iPhone 4 at this rate. However, being put back to Spring 2011, could mean that the white iPhone will be released on Verizon. Further backing up the January 2011 Verizon iPhone.

 Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said:

We're sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone again.

But when asked why, she declined to comment.

iPad Engraving Now Available

 

Just in time for Christmas, Apple is letting online buyers of the iPad to engrave their iPad with a personal message and offering holiday gift packaging to go alongside it. Just like the iPod engraving service, I presume engraving on the iPad will be an equal hit. You can order an engraved iPad starting today at no extra charge, but it will take roughly 1-3 days longer to dispatch and it costs an extra $5 for the gift wrapping. A small price to pay for a personalized iPad and a gift wrapped package as well.

The back of the Slate has a soft touch coating and designed to provide good grip while it's surrounded by a metal bezel which might remind you of the iPad. For $799 you're also going to get a docking station that acts as a stand for the Slate with a built-in HDMI-out port and two cameras including a front facing VGA camera and a back facing camera with 3MP.
