• According to sources, Apple is already knee-deep in production of the next-generation iPad, or iPad 2, which will be thinner and lighter, sport at least one built-in camera for video chat, a significantly faster processor, more memory, and a screen resolution similar to the current version's 1,024 by 768. Expect WiFi, AT&T and Verizon versions priced in the same range as the current iPad editions, which go for between $499 and $829. (Wall Street Journal)
• In a company-wide email from Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, the exec says the company is essentially under attack from all sides in the smartphone arena: Apple owns the high-end, Android rules the mid-range, and Chinese competitors like MediaTek will likely dominate the low-end. "We're going to decide how we either build, catalyse or join and ecosystem," wrote Elop."This is one of the decisions we need to make." So where does that leave Nokia? With a tough decision, apparently. It could be forced to adopt a competitor's platform like Windows Phone 7. Also, the traditionally European-based company may set up a "virtual HQ" in Silicon Valley, where the CEO's strategy and marketing departments, as well as MeeGo development could be relocated.
